Answer:

400mm

Explanation:

Refractive index is the ratio of the wavelength in the shallow water to that in deep water.

Refractive index = λs/λd

Given

Refractive index = 0.5

λs = 200mm

Required

0.5 = 200/λd

λd = 200/0.5

λd = 400mm

Hence the wavelength in deep water is 400mm

A rod has a radius of 10 mm is subjected to an axial load of 15 N such that the axial strain in the rod is ????௫ = 2.75*10-6, de

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Knowing we only have one load applied in just one direction we have to use the Hooke's law for one dimension

ex = бx/E

бx = Fx/A = Fx/π $r^{2}$

Using both equation and solving for the modulus of elasticity E

E = бx/ex = Fx / π $r^{2}$ ex

E = $\frac{15}{pi (10 * 10^{-3})^{2} * 2.75 * 10^{-6} } = 17.368 * 10^{9} Pa = 17.4 GPa$

Apply the Hooke's law for either y or z direction (circle will change in every direction) we can find the change in radius

ey = $\frac{1}{E}$ (бy - v (бx + бz)) = $-\frac{v}{E}$ бx

= $\frac{vFx}{Epir^{2} }$ = $\frac{0.23 * 15}{pi (10 * 10^{-3)^{2} } * 17.362 * 10^{9} } = -0.63 *10^{-6}$

Finally

ey = Δr / r

Δr = ey * r = 10 * $-0.63* 10^{-6} mm = -6.3 * 10^{-6} mm$

Δd = 2Δr = $-12.6 * 10^{-6} mm$

A weight lifter lifts a 345 N set of weights from ground level to a position over his head, a vertical distance of 1.89 m. How m

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:652.05 J

Explanation:

Given

Weight of lifter $W=345 N$

vertical distance move $h=1.89 m$

Work done in lifting the weight is equal change in Potential Energy of weight

Change in Potential Energy $=m g h$

$\Delta PE=345 \times 1.89=652.05 J$

therefore work done is equal to $652.05 J$

If someone is driving 100 miles in 60 minutes then drives 150 miles in 100 minutes west, what is his acceleration rate.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the car, x₀ = 100 miles = 160, 900 m ( 1 mile = 1609 m)

time of motion, t₀ = 60 minutes = 60 mins x 60 s = 3,600 s

final position of the car, x₁ = 150 miles = 241,350 m

time of motion, t₁ = 100 minutes = 100 mins x 60 s = 6,000 s

The initial velocity is calculated as;

u = 160, 900 m / 3,600 s

u = 44.694 m/s

The final velocity is calculated as;

v = 241,350 m / 6,000 s

v = 40.225 m/s

The acceleration is calculated as;

$a = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} = \frac{v- u}{t_1 - t_ 0} = \frac{40.225 - 44.694}{6000-3600} = -0.00186 \ m/s^2\\\\$

Therefore, his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

How will this substance ease the pain?

erastova [34]

Answer:

There are two main types of OTC pain medicines: acetaminophen (Tylenol) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Aspirin, naproxen (Aleve), and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) are examples of OTC NSAIDs. If OTC medicines don't relieve your pain, your doctor may prescribe something stronger

How can you tell there is only one atom of oxygen in H2O?

kow [346]

Answer:

For H2O, there is one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen. A molecule can be made of only one type of atom. In its stable molecular form, oxygen exists as two atoms and is written O2. to distinguish it from an atom of oxygen O, or ozone, a molecule of three oxygen atoms, O3.
