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.

Two particles each of mass m and charge q are suspended by strings of length / from a common point. Find the angle e that each s
ozzi

Answer:

\theta =\left (\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}\times mg}  \right )^{\frac{1}{3}}

Explanation:

Let the length of the string is L.

Let T be the tension in the string.

Resolve the components of T.

As the charge q is in equilibrium.

T Sinθ = Fe       ..... (1)

T Cosθ = mg     .......(2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2), we get

tan θ = Fe / mg

tan\theta =\frac{\frac{kq^{2}}{AB^{2}}}{mg}

tan\theta =\frac{\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}Sin^{\theta }}}}{mg}

tan\theta =\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}Sin^{2}\theta \times mg}

tan\theta\times Sin^{2}\theta =\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}\times mg}

As θ is very small, so tanθ and Sinθ is equal to θ.

\theta ^{3} =\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}\times mg}

\theta =\left (\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}\times mg}  \right )^{\frac{1}{3}}

Q. At what point in a waterfall do the drops of water contain the most kinetic energy ?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

2.When they reach the bottom of the fall

Explanation:

The potential energy of the waterfall is maximum at the maximum height and decreases with decrease in height. Based on the law of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy of the water fall is decreasing with  decrease in height of the fall, its kinetic energy will be increasing and the kinetic energy will be maximum at zero height (bottom of the fall).

Thus, the correct option is "2" When they reach the bottom of the fall

When astronomers look at distant galaxies, what sort of motion do they see?

Hello! You can call me Emac or Eric.

I understand your problem, that question is pretty hard. But I found some information that I think you should read. This can get your problem done quickly.

Please hit that thank you button if that helped, I don’t want thank you’s I just want to know that this helped.

Please reply if this doesn’t help, I will try my best to gather more information or a answer.

Here is some good information that could help you out a lot!


Let’s begin by exploring some techniques astronomers use to study how galaxies are born and change over cosmic time. Suppose you wanted to understand how adult humans got to be the way they are. If you were very dedicated and patient, you could actually observe a sample of babies from birth, following them through childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood, and making basic measurements such as their heights, weights, and the proportional sizes of different parts of their bodies to understand how they change over time.

Unfortunately, we have no such possibility for understanding how galaxies grow and change over time: in a human lifetime—or even over the entire history of human civilization—individual galaxies change hardly at all. We need other tools than just patiently observing single galaxies in order to study and understand those long, slow changes.

We do, however, have one remarkable asset in studying galactic evolution. As we have seen, the universe itself is a kind of time machine that permits us to observe remote galaxies as they were long ago. For the closest galaxies, like the Andromeda galaxy, the time the light takes to reach us is on the order of a few hundred thousand to a few million years. Typically not much changes over times that short—individual stars in the galaxy may be born or die, but the overall structure and appearance of the galaxy will remain the same. But we have observed galaxies so far away that we are seeing them as they were when the light left them more than 10 billion years ago.


That is some information, I do have more if you need some! Thanks!

Have a great rest of your day/night! :)
