Physics

vichka [17]4 years ago

<u>Answer:</u> The specific gravity is numerically equal to the density.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, generally taken as water whose density is 1 g/mL.

It is also known as relative density.

The relationship between specific gravity and density of a substance is given as:

\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}

Hence, the specific gravity is numerically equal to the density.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m

Explanation:

Given:

The depth of pool (d) = 3.2 m

let 'i' be the angle of incidence

thus,

i = tan^{-1}(\frac{2.2}{0.90})

i = 67.75°

Now, Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

where,

r is the angle of refraction

n₁ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1 for air

n₂ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1.33 for water

now,

1 × sin 67.75° = 1.33 × sin(r)

or

r = 44.09°

Now,  

the distance of googles = 2.2 + d×tan(r)  = 2.2 + (3.2 × tan(44.09°) = 5.30 m

Hence, <u>the distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m</u>

A vessel that contains a gas has two pressure gauges attached to it. One contains liquid mercury, and the other an oil such as d
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Pressure of the gas = 12669 (Pa) and height of the oil is 1,24 meters

Explanation:

First, we can use the following sketch for an easy understanding, in the attached image we can see the two pressure gauges the one with mercury to the right and the other one with oil to left. We have all the information needed in the mercury pressure gauge, so we can determine the pressure inside the vessel because the fluid is a gas it will have the same pressure distributed inside the vessel (P1).

Since P1 = Pgas, we can use the same formula, but this time we need to determine the height of the column of oil in the pressure gauge.

The result is that the height of the oil column is higher than the height of the one that uses mercury, this is due to the higher density of mercury compared to oil.

Note: the information given in the units of the fluids is not correct because the density is always expressed in units of (mass /volume)

n ultraviolet light beam having a wavelength of 130 nm is incident on a molybdenum surface with a work function of 4.2 eV. How f
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the ultraviolet light beam, λ = 130 nm = 130 x 10⁻⁹ m

the work function of the molybdenum surface, W₀ = 4.2 eV = 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy of the incident light is given by;

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

f = c / λ

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} *3*10^{8}}{130*10^{-9}} \\\\E = 15.291*10^{-19} \ J

Photo electric effect equation is given by;

E = W₀ + K.E

Where;

K.E is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron

K.E = E - W₀

K.E = 15.291 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

K.E = 8.563 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy of the emitted electron is given by;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is mass of the electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v is the speed of the electron

v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v =  \sqrt{\frac{2*8.563*10^{-19}}{9.11*10^{-31}}}\\\\v = 1.371 *10^{6} \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.
