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

Suppose you wish to construct a motor that produces a maximum torque whose magnitude is 1.7 × 10-2 N·m. The coil of the motor ha
Len [333]

Answer:

86 turns

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Magnetic torque, τ = 1.7 * 10^(-2) Nm

Area of coil, A = 9 * 10^(-4) m²

Current in coil, I = 1.1 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.2 T

The magnetic toque is given mathematically as:

τ = N * I * A * B

Where N = number of turns

To find the number of turns, we make N subject of formula:

N = τ/(I * A * B)

Therefore:

N = (1.7 * 10^(-2)) / (1.1 * 9 * 10^(-4) * 0.2)

N = 85.85 = 86 turns (whole number)

The number of turns must be 86.

Ivan drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. When Ivan drove h
lesya692 [45]

Answer:252 miles

Explanation:

Given

During his way to mountain it took 7 hr to drive

and during his return trip it took 4 hr to return

Let x be the distance between home and mountain

average speed for return is  27 miles per hour faster than his former trip

let v be the speed on his way to mountain thus v+27 is his return speed

thus 7=\frac{x}{v}----1

for return trip

4=\frac{x}{v+27}-----2

divide  1 & 2

\frac{7}{4}=\frac{x\cdot (v+27)}{v\cdot x}

7v=4v+4\cdot 27

3v=4\cdot 27

v=36 mph

thus x=7\times 36=252\ miles
