A Navy vessel is traveling due north during wartime. A torpedo has been launched by an enemy directly toward the stern (rear) of

the vessel. Can the vessel outrun the torpedo if both continue in a straight line due north?
A) Yes, the Navy vessel is faster

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

C) Maybe, since both travel at the same speed

D) Maybe, based on the temperature of the water

Answer:

The correct option is;

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

Explanation:

The speed of some torpedoes can be as high as 370 km/h. The average speed of a fast Navy vessel is approximately 110 km/h

Therefore, the torpedoes travel approximately 3 times as fast as the (slower) Navy vessel, such that the torpedo covers three times the distance of the Navy vessel in the same time and therefore, if the Navy vessel and the torpedo continue in a straight line (in the same direction) due north the vessel can not outrun the torpedo

Therefore, no the Navy vessel travels slower than a torpedo.

Suppose a ray of light traveling in a material with an index of refraction na reaches an interface with a material having an ind
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that when a ray of light tends to travel from a denser to rarer medium then there occurs total internal reflection.

For a denser medium the refractive index is greater than that of a rarer medium. This means that for the given situation refractive index of medium n_{a} is greater than medium n_{b}.

this also means that incident angle must be greater than the critical angle of the medium.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement n_{a} > n_{b} must be true for total internal reflection to occur.

Answer:

100m \div  \frac{9 \: m}{1sec}  = 11.11 \: sec \:

I guess you can round it to 11 seconds.

Explanation:

Going with a speed 9m/s means you are going 9 meters in each second.

If you are going 9 meters in second how many seconds will it take to 100 meters?

Visually;

9 meters - - - 1 second

100 meters - - - ?seconds.

When you write like this 9 times ?seconds equal to 100 meters time 1 second. (you probably know this but just in case)

So to find ?second you multiply 100meters by 1 and divide it by 9 whixh will give you 11.1111 seconds whixh again I believe you can round it to 11.

(Kind of a) Proof;

If 9m * ?sec = 100 m * 1 sec

you send 9 meters to other side.

?sec = (100 m * 1 sec) ÷ 9m

Hope it was clear and it helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
