When a ray passes from air into glass the direction in which the light ray is travelling changes. The light ray appears to bend as it as it passes through the surface of the glass. ... This 'bending of a ray of light' when it passes from one substance into another substance is called refraction.

What is the increase in pressure required to decrease volume of mercury by 0.001%
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Boyles law

Boyle's law states that, the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to it's pressure, provided that temperature is constant

V ∝ 1 / P

V = k / P

VP = k

Then,

V_1 • P_1 = V_2 • P_2

So, if we want an increase in pressure that will decrease volume of mercury by 0.001%

Then, let initial volume be V_1 = V

New volume is V_2 = 0.001% of V

V_2 = 0.00001•V

Let initial pressure be P_1 = P

So,

Using the equation above

V_1•P_1 = V_2•P_2

V × P = 0.00001•V × P_2

Make P_2 subject of formula by dividing be 0.00001•V

P_2 = V × P / 0.00001 × V

Then,

P_2 = 100000 P

So, the new pressure has to be 10^5 times of the old pressure

Now, using bulk modulus

Bulk modulus of mercury=2.8x10¹⁰N/m²

bulk modulus = P/(-∆V/V)

-∆V = 0.001% of V

-∆V = 0.00001•V

-∆V = 10^-5•V

-∆V/V = 10^-5

Them,

Bulk modulus = P / (-∆V/V)

2.8 × 10^10 = P / 10^-5

P = 2.8 × 10^10 × 10^-5

P = 2.8 × 10^5 N/m²

A research submarine has a 30-cm-diameter window that is 8.1 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up
malfutka [58]

The pressure at a certain depth underwater is:

P = ρgh

P = pressure, ρ = sea water density, g = gravitational acceleration near Earth, h = depth

The pressure exerted on the submarine window is:

P = F/A

P = pressure, F = force, A = area

The area of the circular submarine window is:

A = π(d/2)²

A = area, d = diameter

Set the expressions for the pressure equal to each other:

F/A = ρgh

Substitute A:

F/(π(d/2)²) = ρgh

Isolate h:

h = F/(ρgπ(d/2)²)

Given values:

F = 1.1×10⁶N

ρ = 1030kg/m³ (pulled from a Google search)

g = 9.81m/s²

d = 30×10⁻²m

Plug in and solve for h:

h = 1.1×10⁶/(1030(9.81)π(30×10⁻²/2)²)

h = 1540m

PLEASE HELP MEE PLEASE I BEG
TEA [102]

Explanation: (I think)

Plug your values into the momentum equation.

So m1= 63kg

m2 = 10 kg

V1 = 12 m/s

And then plug in your values and solve for your unknown (v2)

Air "breaks down" when the electric field strength reaches 3 × 106 n/c, causing a spark. A parallel-plate capacitor is made from
Lera25 [3.4K]

Electric field between the plates of parallel plate capacitor is given as

E = \frac{Q}{A\epsilon_0}

here area of plates of capacitor is given as

A = 0.055 * 0.055

A = 3.025 * 10^{-3}

also the maximum field strength is given as

E = 3 * 10^6 N/C

now we will plug in all data to find the maximum possible charge on capacitor plates

3 * 10^6 = \frac{Q}{3.025 * 10^{-3}*8.85 * 10^{-12}}

Q = 8.03 * 10^{-8} C

so the maximum charge that plate will hold will be given by above
