A massless, hollow sphere of radius R is entirely filled with a fluid such that its density is p. This same hollow sphere is now

compressed so that its radius is R/2, and then it is entirely filled with the same fluid as before. As such, what is the density of the compressed sphere?
a. 8p
b. p/8
c. p/4
d. 4p

Answer:

a. 8p

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of hollow sphere , R1=R

Density of hollow sphere=\rho

After compress

Radius of hollow sphere, R2=R/2

We have to find density of the compressed sphere.

We know that

Density=\frac{mass}{volume}

Mass=Density\times volume=Constant

Therefore,\rho_1 V_1=\rho_2V_2

Volume of sphere=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Using the formula

\rho\times \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\rho_2\times \frac{4}{3}\pi (R/2)^3

\rho R^3=\rho_2\times \frac{R^3}{8}

\rho_2=8\rho

Hence, the density of  the compressed sphere=8\rho

Option a is correct.

What is the wavelength in nm of a light whose first order bright band forms a
scoundrel [369]

The wavelength of the first order bright band light light is 714 nm .

Explanation:

We have to find the wavelength of the first order brightness of a light. Here we are using Huygen's principle of light.

The formula is

nλ =d sinθ

where, n is the order of maximum

            λ is the wavelength of light

            d is the distance between the lines on diffraction grating.

            θ is the angle.

For the given equation n is 1 because the problem states that the light forms 1st order bright band

  λ  is unknown.

d = \frac{1}{700,000} or 0.0000014 m

sin (30) = 0.5

so,

1(λ) = (0.0000014)(0.5)

     = 0.0000000714

     = 714 nm

Thus, The wavelength of the first order bright band light light is 714 nm .

Which type of device enables its users to see around corners?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

We can use optical fibers.

Explanation:

The optical fibers are the optical devices which is based on the total internal reflection.

The optical fiber has two layers, one is called core and the other is called cladding.

The refractive index of core is more than the cladding.

As a ray of light falls on the core at more than the critical angle for that pair of media(core and cladding), it suffers the total internal reflection at the interface.

A sailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5​​​​m​​/s2 for 4s. After t
Pavlova-9 [17]
Taking right movement to be positive means leftward movement is negative.
Hence we have a deceleration of
a = - 2.5 {ms}^{ - 2}

t = 4s
v = 3.0 {ms}^{ - 1}
Using this 'suvat' equation
v = u + at
we can determine the initial velocity

3.0= u + -2.5(4)

3.0+2.5(4)=u

13.0 = u

Hence the initial velocity is 13.0 meters per seconds
