Answer:

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is

C

3 cm

RI=apparent depthreal depth

Substituting, 34=apparentdepth12

Therefore, apparent depth=412×3=9

The height by which it appears to be raised is 12−9=3cm

A tank is filled with water to a height of 12.5 cm. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be 9.4 cm. What is the refractive index of water? If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index 1.63 up to the same height, by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again?

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 1.69 cm. At what positive displacement from the midpoint of its
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 0.0146m

Explanation: The formula that defines the velocity of a simple harmonic motion is given as

v = ω√A² - x²

Where v = linear velocity, A = amplitude = 1.69cm = 0.0169m, x = displacement.

The maximum speed of a simple harmonic motion is derived when x = A, hence v = ωA

One half of maximum speed = speed of motion

3ωA/2 = ω√A² - x²

ω cancels out on both sides of the equation, hence we have that

A/2 = √A² - x²

(0.0169)/2 = √(0.0169² - x²)

0.00845 = √(0.0169² - x²)

By squaring both sides, we have that

0.00845² = 0.0169² - x²

x² = 0.0169² - 0.00845²

x² = 0.0002142

x = √0.0002142

x = 0.0146m

baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The most important thing to remember about parabolic motion in physics is that when an object reaches its max height, the velocity right there at the highest point is 0. Use this one-dimensional motion equation to solve this problem:

v = v₀ + at and filling in:

0 = v₀ + (-9.8)(4.0) **I put in 4.0 for time so we have more than just 1 sig fig here**

0 = v₀ - 39 and

-v₀ = -39 so

v₀ = 39 m/s
