What is the relationship between area, force, and pressure? what is the relationship between area, force, and pressure? pressure

White raven [17]

Mathematically, relation between force, area and pressure is given by...
Pressure = force / area

hence, pressure is directly proportional to force but inversely proportional to area.

Explain the origin of the magnitude designation for determining the brightness of stars. Why does it seem to go backward, with s

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Hipparchus was an ancient Greek who classified stars based on the brightness in 129 B.C. He grouped the brightest stars and ranked them 1 (first magnitude) and dimmest stars as 6 (sixth magnitude). Thus, the smaller numbers indicated brighter stars. Now, the scale extends in negative axis as well. More the negative number, brighter is the star. For example, Sun has magnitude -26.74.

This the apparent magnitude which means the classification is based on the brightness of the star as it appears from the Earth.

A ray of light incident in water strikes the surface separating water from air making an angle of 10 ° with the normal to the su

labwork [276]

Answer:

$\theta _2 = 13^o$

$\theta _1 =32.94^o$

$\theta_c = 53.05^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence is $\theta_1 = 10^o$

The refractive index of water is $n_1 = 1.3$

Generally Snell's law is mathematically represented as

$n_1 sin(\theta_1) = n_2 sin(\theta_ 2)$

Here $n_2$ is the refractive index of air with value $n_2 = 1$

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction

$\theta _2 = sin^{-1}[\frac{n_1 * sin(\theta _1)}{n_2} ]$

=> $\theta _2 = sin^{-1}[\frac{1.3 * sin(10)}{1} ]$

=> $\theta _2 = 13^o$

Given that the angle should not be greater than $\theta _2 =45^o$ then the angle of incidence will be

$\theta _1 = sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2 * sin(\theta _2)}{n_1} ]$

=> $\theta _1 = sin^{-1}[\frac{1 * sin(45)}{1.3} ]$

=> $\theta _1 =32.94^o$

Generally for critical angle is mathematically represented as

$\theta_c = sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2}{n_1} ]$

=> $\theta_c = sin^{-1}[\frac{1}{1.3} ]$

=> $\theta_c = 53.05^o$

What do measurements of the number of neutrinos emitted by the Sun tell us about conditions deep in the solar interior?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The neutrinos are produced in the core of the sun by nuclear fusion and measuring their number helps us confirm that there are enough proton-proton chain reactions of each which produce a neutrino and going on in the Sun's core to explain the energy output of the Sun.
