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 .

1. The planet Jupiter completes a revolution of the sun in 11.5 years. Express it in seconds. Given that one year= 3.154 × 10^7
xenn [34]

Answer:

The planet Jupiter completes one revolution of the sun in 362710000 seconds. Long time, right?

Explanation:

3.154x10^7=3.154x10000000=31540000

11.5x31540000=362710000

At 6: 00 am, a motorbike set off from town A to town B at a speed of 40km/h. At the same time, a car set off from town B to town
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

One would need to know how far apart the towns are:

T = SA / 40      time it takes for first cyclist to travel S1

T = SB / 60       time it takes for cyclist B to travel distance S2

SA + SB = S     the distance between the towns

SB = 60 / 40 SA = 1.5 SA

SA + 1.5 SA = S

S = 2.5 SA where cyclist travels distance SA

The time will depend on the separation of the towns.

How fast should a moving clock travel if it is to be observed by a stationary observer as running at one-half its normal rate?A)
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Let the speed is v.

\Delta t = \gamma \Delta t'\\\\\Delta t = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}\times \frac{\Delta t}{2}\\\\\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}} =\frac{1}{2}\\\\1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{3}{4}c^2 = v^2\\\\v = 0.87 c

Option (D) is correct.
