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?

jolli1 [7]

Your answer is B.

The relationship between medium temperature and speed of sound is a direct relationship: when one factor increases, the other increases as is shown in graph B. The British would choose the the time of day which would give the lowest speed of sound, because this would be easiest to break. Graph B shows that the lowest speed of sound would occur with the lowest air temperature - in the morning.

A pool is to be filled with 60 m3 water from a garden hose of 2.5 cm diameter flowing water at 2 m/s. Find the mass flow rate of
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Time= 6.12*10^4s

mass flow rate m=0.98kg/s

Explanation:

Given

Volume= 60m^3

diamter= 2.5cm= 0.025m

radius= 0.0125m

area A= πr^2

area A= 3.142*0.0125^2

area A= 4.9*10^-4m^2

the velocity of the flow 2m/s

<u>volume flow rate </u>

V=vA

V=2* 4.9*10^-4

V=9.82*10^-4 m^3/s

<u>Time taken to fill the pool</u>

time= volume/volume flow rate

time= 60/9.82*10^-4

time= 6.12*10^4s

<u>Mass flow rate </u>

m= density *volume flow rate

Assuming the density of water to be 997kg/m^3

m= 997*9.82*10^-4

m=0.98kg/s
