Rate of work done against water resistant? Can someone explain why its 3.0W? Thanks.

You understand the concepts all perfectly fine, just have applied them slightly incorrectly.
Firstly, the speed time graph is actually a triangle since the question says a steady acceleration from rest - i.e. it started at 0 and worked up to 2ms-1 in the space of that 10 seconds. The area under the graph is the distance, and a triangle area is found with bh/2, and in this case that is 10*2/2 = 10m - so the boat travelled 10 metres.

Work done as you correctly stated is fd - giving the part against water resistance as 3*10 = 30J
However, you forgot to do the last part - the key words are rate of work - this means Power. Power is Energy/Time, and this whole process occurred over 10 seconds. So whilst 30J of energy were expended due to the water resistance, this didn't all occur in no time. So we need to divide that by 10 to get the power. And 30/10 is 3J/s - and J/s is the same as W.

A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac

vovikov84 [41]

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

$n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Where,

${\theta_i}$ is the angle of incidence

${\theta_r}$ is the angle of refraction = 90°

${n_2}$ is the refractive index of the refraction medium

${n_1}$ is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

$n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}$

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

${sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}$

Where,

${\theta_{critical}}$ is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.

Inga [223]

Answer:

27.5 days

0.92 month

Explanation:

$r$ = radius of the orbit of moon around the earth = $3.85\times10^{8} m$

$M$ = Mass of earth = $5.98\times10^{24} m$

$T$ = Time period of moon's motion

According to Kepler's third law, Time period is related to radius of orbit as

$T^{2} = \frac{4\pi ^{2} r^{3} }{GM}$

inserting the values, we get

$T^{2} = \frac{4(3.14)^{2} (3.85\times10^{8})^{3} }{(6.67\times10^{-11})(5.98\times10^{24})}\\T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec$

we know that

1 day = 24 hours = 24 x 3600 sec = 86400 s

$T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec \frac{1 day}{86400 sec} \\T = 27.5 days$

1 month = 30 days

$T = 27.5 days \frac{1 month}{30 days} \\T = 0.92 month$
