What is the conclusion of coin and feather experiment?

valina [46]

Answer:

So the conclusion is that in presence of air net force acting downward reduces for feather and hence falls slower than coin. But in absence of air resistance, net downward force is just equal to force due to gravity which is same for both coin and feather and hence they fall down at the same rate.

A person is standing on a raft; their

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The volume of water displaced by the raft is 0.233 m³

Explanation:

The question relates to Archimedes' principle which states that the buoyant force experienced by an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of (the force of gravity on) the displaced fluid

The given parameters are;

The combined mass of the person and the raft, m = 233 kg

The liquid on which the raft is located = Water

The density of water, $\rho _{water}$ = 1000 kg/m³

Weight = Mass, m × g

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Given that the raft is on the surface of the water (floating), the buoyant force is equal to the combined weight of the person and the raft = 233 kg

The combined weight of the person and the raft, $W_{combined}$ = 233 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 2,283.4 N

Therefore;

The buoyant force = 2,283.4 N = The weight of the water displaced

The mass of the water displaced, $m_{water}$ , = 2,283.4 N/(9.8 m/s²) = 233 kg

Density = Mass/Volume

The volume of water displaced by the raft = The mass of the water displaced/(The density of the water) = 233 kg/(1,000 kg/m³) = 0.233 m³.

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

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

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

=> $\theta_c = 53.05^o$

Humpback whales are known to produce a collection of elaborate and repeating sounds with frequencies starting at 20 Hz. The soun

jasenka [17]

Answer:

70 m.

Explanation:

Given,

Frequency, f = 20 HZ

speed of sound, v = 1400 m/s

wavelength of the waves = ?

we know,

v = f λ

$\lambda= \dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda= \dfrac{1400}{20}$

$\lambda=70\ m$

Hence, the wavelength of the wave is equal to 70 m.
