Answer:

5.3 cm

Explanation:

This question is an illustration of real and apparent distance.

From the question, we have the following given parameters

Real Distance, R = 8.0cm

Refractive Index, μ = 1.5

Required

Determine the apparent distance (A)

The relationship between R, A and μ is:

μ = R/A

i.e.

Refractive Index = Real Distance ÷ Apparent Distance

Substitute values in the above formula

1.5 = 8/A

Multiply both sides by A

1.5 * A = A * 8/A

1.5A = 8

Divide both side by 1.5

1.5A/1.5 = 8/1.5

A = 8/1.5

A = 5.3cm

Hence, the letters would appear at a distance of 5.3cm

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The torque produced by the pile of rocks is \tau = 35.63\ N \cdot m  

b

The distance of the single for equilibrium to occur is r_s =1.62 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the left rock is  m_s = 2.25 \ kg

     The mass of the rock on the right m_p = 10.1 kg

    The distance from  fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks is  r_p = 0.360 \ m

   

Generally the torque produced by the pile of rock is mathematically represented as

           \tau = m_p * g * r_p

Substituting values

         \tau = 10.1 * 9.8  * 0.360                  

          \tau = 35.63\ N \cdot m      

Generally we can mathematically evaluated the distance of the the single rock that would put the system in equilibrium as follows

   The torque due to the single rock is

           \tau = m_s  * g * r_s

At equilibrium the both torque are equal

            35.63 = m_s * r_s * g

Making r_s the subject of the formula

             r_s = \frac{35.63 }{m_s * g}

Substituting values

            r_s = \frac{35.63 }{2.25 * 9.8}

            r_s =1.62 \ m

Which of the following best describes a property of water?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

C. weak cohesive forces exist between its molecules.

Explanation:

This is because water has less intermolecular forces than solids, but more than gases. Also their cohesive forces is low.

An electric pump rated 1.5 KW lifts 200kg of water through a vertical height of 6m in 10 secs: way is the efficiency of the pump
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

Efficiency = Power output / Power input × 100 %

To calculate efficiency we need to find power output of electric pump.

We can use,

Work done = Energy change

Work done per second = Energy change per second

Work done per second = Power

Therefore, Power = Energy change per second

                              = Change in potential energy of water per second

                              =mgh / t

                              = 200× 10×6 / 10

                              = 1200 W = 1.2 kW

Now use the first equation to find efficiency,

Efficiency = \frac{1.2}{1.5} × 100%

                = 80 %
