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?

If the number of crests that pass a point in a given time increases, what has increased?
zysi [14]
The frequency increasing makes the crests pass more quickly.  Frequency is a count of how many times per second an event occurs.  In waves, this event is the passing of an entire cycle.  Once the cycle has passed, the wave repeats.  The faster the wave repeats, the higher the frequency.  For this reason, frequency has units of hertz, Hz.  The unit of hertz is 1/s or "per second"

How does a force pumb works​
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

A force pump can be used to raise water by a height of more than 10m, the maximum height allowed by atmospheric pressure using a common lift pump.

In a force pump, the upstroke of the piston draws water, through an inlet valve, into the cylinder. On the downstroke, the water is discharged, through an outlet valve, into the outlet pipe.

A firecracker breaks up into three pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

|P_3|=21.242m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=200g=0.2

Speed v=82.0m/s

Mass M_2=300g=0.3kg

Speed V_2=45.0m/s

Generally the equation for Magnitude of the Third piece is mathematically given by

P_1+P_2+P_3=0

|P_3|=|P_1+P_2|

Where

P_1=m_1v_1

P_1=0.2*82

P_1=16.4kgm/s

And

P_2=0.3*45

P_2=13.5kgm/s

Therefore

|P_3|=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}

|P_3|=21.242m/s
