Answer:

4V

Explanation:

First, we calculate the total resistance to the given battery cell of emf 5V. The total resistance is the sum of all the resistance in the cell i.e.

Total resistance = 2Ω + 8Ω = 10Ω

Using ohms law equation to calculate the current passing through the battery cell:

V = IR

Where; V = voltage, I = current, R = resistance

5V = I × 10Ω

I = 5/10

I = 0.5A

Terminal voltage is calculated by the us of the following equation:

V=emf−IR

Where; R is internal resistance

V = 5 - (0.5 × 2)

V = 5 - 1

V = 4V

Therefore, the potential difference across the terminals of the battery cell is 4V

A ray of white light moves through the air and strikes the surface of water in a beaker. The index of refraction of the water is
Naily [24]

Answer:

except ii and iii

Explanation:

The angle of reflection is the angle to the normal the white rays strikes the water surface and it is the incidence angle. Since the white light is moving from less dense medium to a denser medium or a medium with a higher refractive index; the angle of refraction will be less than 30 degrees. Total internal reflection cannot occur because the white light is traveling from a less dense medium to a denser medium.

Explain in your own words how the Doppler Effect is also applicable in our study of light.
arlik [135]

well in my own words, i'd saw the the doppler effect is similar to light because sound has a speed, and light does too.

so my theory is if you go fast enough everything would just become black, or maybe white? idk its hard to explain

but what my point is, is taht the doppler effect works in the same way, like if a car is moving towards you the sound is being emitted from the car and being pushed by the speed of the car making it have a much higher pitch, when the car is going away however it drops to a lower pitch due the the sound waves being DRAGGED by the car.

there hoped this helped I guess

A car speed off around a bend at a constant 10m/s explain why it's velocity is not constant
VARVARA [1.3K]
It's velocity is not constant as direction is changing.
 
We know, velocity is speed with direction, so if direction is changing, velocity can't be constant, doesn't matter that speed is constant.

Hope this helps!
