An object that floats in water weighs 20 N in air.

Physics
1 answer:
Licemer1 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a. Weight of Object in Water = 20 N

b. Up thrust = 20 N

c. Weight of Water Displaced = 20 N

Explanation:

a.

The weight of the object remains same in the water as well. Because, the same force of gravity is acting there as well. Hence,

<u>Weight of Object in Water = 20 N</u>

<u></u>

b.

Since, the object floats on the water. Therefore, according to Archimedes' principle the up thrust force acting on the object must be equal to the weight of object:

Up thrust = Weight of object

<u>Up thrust = 20 N</u>

<u></u>

c.

From Archimedes' Principle, we know that the up thrust or the Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. therefore:

Weight of Water Displaced = Up thrust

<u>Weight of Water Displaced = 20 N</u>

Consider that a ray of light is travelling from glass to water. The refractive index of water is 1.30 (i e n . ., 1.30 w = ) and
Bess [88]

Answer:

\theta_i=49.88^{\circ}

Explanation:

Total internal reflection can happen when light goes from a medium with higher refractive index (in this case, glass) to a medium with lower refractive index (in this case, water).

Snell's Law tells us that n_isin\theta_i=n_rsin\theta_r, where the <em>i</em> stands for incident (in this case, glass) and the <em>r</em> for refracted (in this case, water). We want to know when \theta_r=90^{\circ}, that is, when n_isin\theta_i=n_r, and this happens when the incident angle is:

\theta_i=arcsin(\frac{n_r}{n_i})

Which for our values means:

\theta_i=arcsin(\frac{1.3}{1.7})=arcsin(0.76470588235)=49.88^{\circ}

How to light prodeced by nature
frutty [35]
Natural sources of light include our sun and other stars, where the source of energy is nuclear energy (recall that the moon does not produce light but merely reflects sunlight), lightning, where the source is electrical, and fire, where the energy source is chemical.

A runner generates 1260 W of thermal energy. If this heat has to be removed only by evaporation, how much water does this runner
sergey [27]

Answer:0.502kg

Explanation:

F4om the relation

Power x time = mass x latent heat of vapourization

P.t=ML

1260 * 15 *60 = M * 22.6 * 10^5

M= 1134000/(22.6 *10^5)

M=0.502kg=502g

Refraction refers to C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another
