Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
8 0
Terminal velocity is the velocity at which a falling body experience when its weight is equal to the force resistance of force opposing the fall.

At terminal velocity the acceleration of the body is zero, which implies that the value of the this velocity is a uniform.

The critical angle for a light ray travelling from a ruby into ethyl alcohol is 50.6 degrees celsius. Determine the index of ref
stepan [7]
In order to answer this question, I realized that I needed to know the index
of refraction for ruby, so I went and looked it up.  It's  1.762 to 1.770 .

I started trying to remember how to use this number and the critical angle
to find the index of refraction of the other medium.  That's when I saw the
absurd unit "degrees celsius" for the critical angle, and I got discouraged.
But I perked up very quickly, when I realized that I'm still on the "index of
refraction" list, and while I'm there, I might as well just go ahead and
look up ethyl alcohol too.

It's  1.36  .

When a substance is poured from one container to another, its shape changes but its volume does not, what state of matter is the
lianna [129]

Answer: When a liquid substance is poured into a vessel, it takes the shape of the vessel, and, as long as the substance stays in the liquid state, it will remain inside the vessel. Furthermore, when a liquid is poured from one vessel to another, it retains its volume (as long as there is no vaporization or change in temperature) but not its shape.

Explanation: A solid has a definite shape and volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but takes the shape of its container. A gas lacks either a defined shape or volume. Plasma is similar to a gas in that its particles are very far apart, but a gas is electrically neutral and plasma has a charge.

A rod (length = 80 cm) with a rectangular cross section (1.5 mm × 2.0 mm) has a resistance of 0.20 Ω. What is the resistivity of
Andru [333]

Answer:

The resistivity of the material used to make the rod is ρ= 7.5 * 10⁻⁷ Ω.m

Explanation:

R= 0.2 Ω

L= 0.8 m

S= 1.5mm*2mm= 3 mm² = 3 * 10⁻⁶ m²

ρ = (R*S)/L

ρ= 7.5 * 10⁻⁷ Ω.m
