Answer:

(θ) = 60°

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of canoe Vc = 2 m/s

Speed of River Vr = 1 m/s

Computation:

Vc (Cosθ) = Vr

2 (Cosθ) = 1

(Cosθ) =  1 / 2

(Cosθ) = (Cos60)

(θ) = 60°

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. Oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure is  P_g  =  2058 \ P_a

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The height of the water contained is  h_w  =  30 \ cm  =  0.3 \ m

        The height of liquid in the cylinder is  h_t  =  40 \ cm  = 0.4 \ m

       

At the bottom of the cylinder the gauge pressure is  mathematically represented as

        P_g  =  P_w + P_o

Where  P_w is the pressure of water which is mathematically represented as

      P_w  =  \rho_w  *  g * h_w

Now  \rho_w is the density of water with a constant values of  \rho_w  = 1000 \ kg /m^3

   substituting values

      P_w  = 1000 *  9.8 *  0.3

     P_w  =  2940 \  Pa

While P_o is the pressure of oil which is mathematically represented as

          P_o  =  \rho_o *  g *  (h_t -h_w )

Where \rho _o is the density of oil with a constant value

         \rho _o  = 900 \ kg / m^3

substituting values

       P_o  =  900 *  9.8 * (0.4 - 0.3)

       P_o  =  882 \ Pa

Therefore

      P_g  =  2940 - 882

      P_g  =  2058 \ P_a

Use the impulse-momentum theorem to find how long a stone falling straight down takes to increase its speed from 3.7 m/s to 9.90
11111nata11111 [884]
<h2>Time taken is 0.632 seconds</h2>

Explanation:

Impulse momentum theorem is change in momentum is impulse.

Change in momentum = Impulse

Final momentum - Initial momentum = Impulse

Mass x Final velocity - Mass x Initial Velocity = Force x Time

Mass x Final velocity - Mass x Initial Velocity =Mass x Acceleration x Time

Final velocity - Initial Velocity = Acceleration x Time

Final velocity = 9.9 m/s

Initial Velocity = 3.7 m/s

Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

9.9 - 3.7 = 9.81 x Time

Time = 0.632 seconds

Time taken is 0.632 seconds

At which angle must a laser beam enter the water for no refraction to occur?
abruzzese [7]

Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).

Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.

Moral of the story:  If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.
