Answer:

Refractive motion is the impact of a light wave that travels from medium to medium in an angle away from normal, where the direction of light varies. Light is refracted when it crosses the air-to-glass interface and moves slower.

The length of second hand of clock is 14cm, an ant sits on the top of second hand. find the following

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

i) Since the length of the second clock (radius) is 14 cm = 0.14 m, the distance covered by the second hand in one revelution is:

Distance covered = 2πr = 2π(0.14) = 0.88 m

The time taking to complete one revolution = 60 seconds, hence;

Speed = distance covered in one revolution / time take o complete a revolution

Speed = 0.88 m / 60 s = 0.0147 m/s

ii) Distance covered in 150 s = speed * 150 s = 0.0147 * 150 = 2.2 m

iii) Displacement in 150 seconds = distance from initial position to final position

At 150 s, the hand has covered 2 revolutions and moved 30 s. Hence:

Displacement in 150 seconds = speed * 30 s = 0.0147 * 30 = 0.44 m

A 12,000-N car is raised using a hydraulic lift, which consists of a U-tube with arms of unequal areas, filled with incompressib

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

F = 1958.4 N

Explanation:

By volume conservation of the fluid on both sides we can say that volume of fluid displaced on the side of the car must be equal to the volume of fluid on the other side

so we have

$L_1A_1 = L_2A_2$
