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?

The current in an electric hair dryer is 10
Vikki [24]
First let's convert the time in seconds:
\Delta t= 5 min= 5 min \cdot (60 s/min)= 300 s

The current is defined as the quantity of charge flowing through a certain section of a circuit per unit of time:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Using I=10 A, and \Delta t=300 s, we can find the amount of charge flown through the hair dryer in this time:
Q=I \Delta t=(10 A)(300 s)=3000 C

The charge of a single electron is q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C, so the number of electrons flown through the hair dryer is the total charge divided by the charge of a single electron:
N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{3000 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C} =1.88 \cdot 10^{22}

In which phase transition do molecules directly move from state to state involving a vibration of particles in a fixed position
siniylev [52]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option It is during sublimation that molecules directly move from state to state involving a vibration of particles in a fixed position to a state involving random movement of high speed particles. It <span> is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. </span>

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'a' 'The momentum is always conserved while as the kinetic energy may be conserved'

Explanation:

The conservation of momentum is a basic principle in nature which is always valid in an collision between 'n' number of objects if there are no external forces on the system. It is valid for both the cases weather the collision is head on or glancing or weather the object is elastic or inelastic.

The energy is only conserved in a collision that occurs on a friction less surface and the objects are purely elastic. Since in the given question it is mentioned that only the surface is friction less and no information is provided regarding the nature of the objects weather they are elastic or not hence we cannot conclusively come to any conclusion regarding the conservation of kinetic energy as the objects may be inelastic.
