Answer:

C. Angle of Attack.

Explanation:

The pilot must adjust the angle of attack parameter. The angle of attack of this plane to get to the desired lift coefficient.

And thus, we have

Lift = Weight

An object of mass 3.00 kg, moving with an initial velocity of 5.05 m/s, collides with and sticks to an object of mass 2.76 kg wi

Lynna [10]

Answer:

0.752 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = 3.00kg

u1 = 5.05m/s

m2 = 2.76kg

u2 = -3.66m/s

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

3(5.05) + 2.76(-3.66) = (5.05+2.76)v

15.15 - 9.2736 = 7.81v

5.8764 = 7.81v

v = 5.8764/7.81

v = 0.752m/s

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is placed in contact with, and to the left of, a diverging lens of focal length 30 cm. I

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Magnification will be equal to 3

Explanation:

We have given focal length of the converging lens $F_1=20cm$

Focal length of the diverging lens $F_2=30cm$

Object is placed 40 cm to the length of the converging lens d = 40 cm

Combination of the focal length will be equal to

$\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{F_1}+\frac{1}{F_2}$

$\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{-30}=\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{60}$

F = 60 cm

So combination of the focal length will be 60 cm

Magnification is given by

$M=\frac{F}{F-d}=\frac{60}{60-40}=3$

So magnification will be equal to 3

A beam of light traveling through a liquid (of index of refraction n1 = 1.47) is incident on a surface at an angle of θ1 = 59° w

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(a) $n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}$

(b) $n_{2} = 1.349$

(d) $v_{2} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Solution:

As per the question:

Refractive index of medium 1, $n_{1} = 1.47$

Angle of refraction for medium 1, $\theta_{1} = 59^{\circ}$

Angle of refraction for medium 2, $\theta_{1} = 69^{\circ}$

Now,

(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:

$n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}$

where

$n_{2}$ = Refractive Index of medium 2

Now,

$n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}$

(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:

$n_{2} = \frac{1.47\times sin59^{\circ}}{sin69^{\circ}}$

$n_{2} = 1.349$

We know that:

$Refractive\ index,\ n = \frac{Speed\ of\ light\ in vacuum,\ c}{Speed\ of\ light\ in\ medium,\ v}$

Thus for medium 1

$n_{1} = \frac{c}{v_{1}$

$v_{1} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.47} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:

For medium 2:

$n_{2} = \frac{c}{v_{2}$

$v_{2} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.349} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown.

tangare [24]

The correct answer is
<span>c. one person exerts more force than the other so that the forces are unbalanced.

In fact, the door is initially at rest. In order to move the door, a net force different from zero should be applied, according to Newton's second law:
</span> $\sum F = ma$
<span>where the term on the left is the resultant of the forces acting on the door, m is the door mass and a its acceleration.

In order to move the door, the acceleration must be different from zero. But this means that the resultant of the forces acting on it must be different from zero: this is possible only if the forces applied by the two persons are unbalanced, i.e. one person exerts more force than the other.</span>
