spotlight on a boat is 2.5 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is 8.0 m horizontally displaced fr

om the spotlight (see the drawing). The depth of the water is 4.0 m. Determine the distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom. Assume water has a refraction index of 1.333

Answer:

Explanation:

Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .

From the figure

Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8

cot i = 2.5 / 8

Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2

i = 72.65°

From snell's law

sini / sin r = refractive index

sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333

sin r = .9545  / 1.333

= .72

r = 46⁰

From the figure

Tan r  = d / 4

Tan 46 = d /4

d = 4 x Tan 46

= 4 x 1.0355

=4.14 m .

Determine the angular speed, in rad/s of:
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. The earth about its axis:

The earth makes one revolution in 24 hours. to know the number of revolutions per second it makes, we need to convert hours to seconds and the revolution to rad.

\frac{1 rev}{24hours}\times \frac{1 hr}{3600s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 7.27 \times10^-5 rad/s

B. The minute hand of the clock makes one revolution in 60 minutes

To convert this to rad per second, we have

\frac{1 rev}{60mins}\times \frac{1 min}{60s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 1.745 \times10^-3rad/s

C. The hour hand of  a clock completes one revolution in 12 hours

\frac{1 rev}{12hours}\times \frac{1 hr}{3600s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 1.454 \times10^-4 rad/s

D. an egg beater turning at 300 rpm.

\frac{300 rev}{1minute}\times \frac{1 min}{60s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 7.27 \times10^-5 rad/s=0.0218rad/s

IP The x and y components of a vector r⃗ are rx = 16 m and ry = -8.5 m , respectively
fiasKO [112]

as it is given that

r_x = 16 m

r_y = -8.5 m

now we will have

\vec r = 16 \hat i - 8.5 \hat j

now the magnitude of this vector is given as

|r| = \sqrt{16^2 + 8.5^2}

|r| = 18 m

now to find the direction we can use

tan\theta = \frac{r_y}{r_x}

tan\theta = \frac{-8.5}{16}

\theta = tan^{-1}(-0.53)

\theta = - 28^0

Galileo performed an experiment to measure the speed of light by timing how long it took light to travel from a lamp he was hold
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The time it takes light to cover 1.5 km was too short to be measured by Galileo's instruments.

Explanation:

The speed of light is c=3*10^8m/s, which means the time it takes to cover a distance of 1.5 km (or 1,500m) will be

t= \dfrac{1500m}{3*10^8m/s}

t= 0.000005s

which is \dfrac{1}{200000} of a second! This time delay could in no way be measured by Galileo considering the fact that he was using his heartbeat to measure time!
