The tip of a triangle is held 12.0 cm above the surface of a flat pool of water. A submerged swimmer in the pool sees the tip of

the triangle at what distance above the water? Let the indices of refraction nwater = 1.33 and nair = 1.00.

Answer: 9cm

Explanation:

Refractive index can also be defined as the ratio of the real depth to the apparent depth.

Given that the

Real depth = 12 m

Refractive index of water = 1.33

Refractive index of air = 1.00

nair/nwater = real depth/apparent depth

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

1.33/1 = 12/ apparent depth

Cross multiply

1.33 Apparent depth = 12

Apparent depth = 12/1.33

Apparent depth = 9.02 cm

Therefore,  A submerged swimmer in the pool sees the tip of the triangle at 9cm approximately distance above the water.

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = \frac{r}{2}

f = \frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m

Now,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

- 2 = -\frac{v}{u}

\frac{v}{u} = 2                  (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

v = \frac{uf}{u - f}            (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = \frac{uf}{u - f}

2 = \frac{f}{u - f}

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

A total resistance of 3.03 Ω is to be produced by connecting an unknown resistance to a 12.18 Ω resistance. (a) What must be the
insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) 4.0334Ω

(b)parallel

Explanation:

for resistors connected in parallel;

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } =\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}

Req =3.03Ω , R1 =12.18Ω

\frac{1}{3.03 } =\frac{1}{12.18}+\frac{1}{R2}

\frac{1}{R2}=\frac{1}{3.03 }-\frac{1}{12.18}

\frac{1}{R2}=0.2479

R2=1/0.2479

R2=4.0334Ω

(b)parallel connection is suitable for the desired total resistance. series connection can not be used to achieve a lower resistance as the equation for series connection is.

Req = R1+R2

A student weighing 700 N climbs at constant speed to the top of an 8 m vertical rope in 10 s. The average power expended by the
Goshia [24]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to power, defined as the amount of energy applied over a period of time.

The energy in this case is the accumulated in the form of potential energy, over a period of time. Thus we will have that the mathematical expression of the power can be expressed as

P = \frac{E}{t}

Here,

E = Energy

t = time

As the energy is equal to the potential Energy we have tat

P = \frac{mgh}{t}

The weight (mg) of the man is 700N, the height (h) is 8m and the time is 10s, then:

P = \frac{700*8}{10}

P = 560W

Therefore the correct answer is A.
