Why does apparent depth of different liquids vary

1 answer:

6 0

It’s due to the refraction of light rays as they traverse the boundary between water and air. The greater the viewing angle, the more the bending of the light and therefore the less the apparent depth. An object placed in a denser medium, when viewed from rarer medium appears to be at a lesser depth than its real depth due to refraction of light.

How would a spinning disk's kinetic energy change if its moment of inertia was five times larger but its angular speed was five

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of a spinning disk will be reduced to a tenth of its initial kinetic energy if its moment of inertia is made five times larger, but its angular speed is made five times smaller.

Explanation:

Let us first consider the initial characteristics of the angular motion of the disk

moment of inertia = $I$

angular speed = ω

For the second case, we consider the characteristics to now be

moment of inertia = $5I$ (five times larger)

angular speed = ω/5 (five times smaller)

Recall that the kinetic energy of a spinning body is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}$

therefore,

for the first case, the K.E. is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}$

and for the second case, the K.E. is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(5I)(\frac{w}{5} )^{2} = \frac{5}{50}Iw^{2}$

$KE = \frac{1}{10}Iw^{2}$

this is one-tenth the kinetic energy before its spinning characteristics were changed.

This implies that the kinetic energy of the spinning disk will be reduced to a tenth of its initial kinetic energy if its moment of inertia is made five times larger, but its angular speed is made five times smaller.

If we start with 1.000 g of cobalt-60, 0.675 g will remain after 3.00 yr. this means that the of is _____

Tju [1.3M]

Cobalt-60 is undergoing a radioactivity decay.

The formula of the decay is n=N(1/2)∧(T/t).
Where N ⇒ original mass of cobalt
 n ⇒ remaining mass of cobalt after 3 years
T ⇒ decaying period
t ⇒ half-life of cobalt.

So,
0.675 = 1 × 0.5∧(3/t)
log 0.675 = log 0.5∧(3/t)
3/t = log 0.675 ÷log 0.5
3/t= 0.567

t = 3÷0.567
= 5.290626524

the half-life of Cobalt-60 is 5.29 years.
