Planets A and B have the same size, mass, and direction of travel, but planet A is traveling through space at half the speed of

planet B. Which statement correctly explains the weight you would experience on each planet?

Planet A is heavier than Planet B

Because Planet A is heavier than Planet B, Planet B will be easier to be moved by gravity causing it to move faster than Planet A.

Hope This Helped : )

A beam of light traveling through a liquid (of index of refraction n1 = 1.47) is incident on a surface at an angle of θ1 = 59° w
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(a) n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}

(b) n_{2} = 1.349

(c) v_{1} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s

(d) v_{2} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Refractive index of medium 1, n_{1} = 1.47

Angle of refraction for medium 1, \theta_{1} = 59^{\circ}

Angle of refraction for medium 2, \theta_{1} = 69^{\circ}

Now,

(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:

n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}

where

n_{2} = Refractive Index of medium 2

Now,

n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}

(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:

n_{2} = \frac{1.47\times sin59^{\circ}}{sin69^{\circ}}

n_{2} = 1.349

(c) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 1:

We know that:

Refractive\ index,\ n = \frac{Speed\ of\ light\ in vacuum,\ c}{Speed\ of\ light\ in\ medium,\ v}

Thus for medium 1

n_{1} = \frac{c}{v_{1}

v_{1} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.47} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s

(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:

For medium 2:

n_{2} = \frac{c}{v_{2}

v_{2} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.349} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Why is it necessary to centrifuge out any precipitate formed in the unknown solution and continue testing the remaining unknown
jonny [76]

Answer:

Precipitation is the formation of a solid from a solution. It is necessary to centrifuge the precipitate to exert sufficient forces of gravity to bring the solid particles in the solution to come together and settle

Explanation:

When you centrifuge precipitate it enables the nucleation to form.

Centrifuging the precipitate helps in determining whether a certain element is present in a solution or not.

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.2 m^2 and a plate separation of 0.1 mm. If the charge on each plate has a magni
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The potential difference across the plates is 226 V.

Explanation:

Given;

area of the capacitor plate, A = 0.2 m²

separation, d = 0.1 mm = 0.1 x 10⁻³ m

charge on each plate, Q = 4 x 10⁻⁶ C

Charge on the capacitor is given by;

Q = CV

Where;

C is the capacitance of the capacitor, given as;

C = ε₀A / d

Then, the potential difference across the plates is given by;

V = \frac{Q}{C} = \frac{Qd}{\epsilon_o A} = \frac{(4*10^{-6})(0.1*10^{-3})}{(8.85*10^{-12})(0.2)}\\\\V = 226 \ V

Therefore, the potential difference across the plates is 226 V.
