Answer:

The cap expanded

Explanation:

As you run hot water (Or any substance) onto something it expands, With coldwater it shrinks. Its like clothes, If a shirt is to small wash it in hot water. If it is to big run it in cold water.

The top of a swimming pool is at ground level. If the pool is 3.00 m deep, how far below ground level does the bottom of the poo
Yuri [45]

Answer:

a) 2.25 m

b) 2.625 m

Explanation:

Refraction is the name given to the phenomenon of the speed of light changing the the boundary when it moves from one physical medium to the other.

Refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in empty vacuum (air is an appropriate substitution) to the speed of light in the medium under consideration.

In terms of real and apparent depth, the refractive index is given by

η = (real depth)/(apparent depth)

a) Real depth = 3.00 m

Apparent depth = ?

Refractive index, η = 1.333

1.333 = 3/(apparent depth)

Apparent depth = 3/1.3333 = 2.25 m.

Hence the bottom of the pool appears to be 2.25 m below the ground level.

b) Real depth = 1.5 m

Apparent depth = ?

Refractive index, η = 1.333

1.3333 = 1.5/(apparent depth)

Apparent depth = 1.5/1.3333 = 1.125 m

But the pool is half filled with water, there is a 1.5 m depth on top of the pool before refraction starts.

So, apparent depth of the pool = 1.5 + 1.125 = 2.625 m below the ground level

-g With what tension must a rope with length 2.50 m and mass 0.120 kg be stretched for transverse waves of frequency 40.0 Hz to
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

43.2 N

Explanation:

\lambda = Wavelength = 0.75 m

f = Frequency = 40 Hz

m = Mass of string = 0.12 kg

L = Length of string = 2.5 m

\mu = Linear density = \dfrac{m}{L}

Velocity of wave is given by

v=\lambda f\\\Rightarrow v=0.75\times 40\\\Rightarrow v=30\ m/s

The tension in string is given by

T=v^2\mu\\\Rightarrow T=30^2\times \dfrac{0.12}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow T=43.2\ N

The tension in the string is 43.2 N

A porter can carry 40 bricks of 10 N load of each. He can carry up to 75m in 40 sec, calculate his power.​
alexira [117]

Answer:

750W

Explanation:

40×10= 400N

work done= force × distance

=400 × 75

=30000 J

Power= work done/ time

= 30000 ÷ 40

= 750 W
