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?

In a 49 s interval, 595 hailstones strike a glass window of an area of 0.954 m at an angle of 25° to the window surface. Each ha

eduard

Average force on the window: 0.32 N

Explanation:

The average force exerted on the window is given by Newton's second law

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta p$ is the net change in momentum of the hailstones in a time interval of $\Delta t$

In order to find the change in momentum, we have to consider only the component of the hailstone's momentum perpendicular to the window, therefore:

$p_i =m u sin \theta$ is the initial momentum of one hailstone, with

m = 7 g = 0.007 kg is the mass

$u=4.5 m/s$ is the initial speed

$\theta=25^{\circ}$ is the angle with the window

The final momentum is

$p_f = mv sin \theta$

where

v = 4.5 m/s is the final speed (the collision is elastic so the speed is equal, while the direction changes)

$\theta=-25^{\circ}$ (after the rebound, the direction has changed)

So the change in momentum of 1 hailstone is

$\Delta p = mv sin(-25^{\circ})-mu sin(25^{\circ})=-2mu sin(25^{\circ})=-0.0266 kg m/s$

We are interested only in the magnitude, so

$\Delta p = 0.0266 kg m/s$

There are 595 hailstones hitting the window in 49 s, so the total change in momentum is

$\Delta p = 595\cdot 0.0266 = 15.8 kg m/s$

And therefore, the average force on the window is

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{15.8}{49}=0.32 N$

A boat radioed a distress call to a Coast Guard station. At the time of the call, a vector A from the station to the boat had a

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

d = 39.7 km

Explanation:

initial position of the boat is 45 km away at an angle of 15 degree East of North

so we will have

$r_1 = 45 sin15 \hat i + 45 cos15 \hat j$

$r_1 = 11.64 \hat i + 43.46\hat j$

after some time the final position of the boat is found at 30 km at 15 Degree North of East

so we have

$r_2 = 30 cos15\hat i + 30 sin15 \hat j$

$r_2 = 28.98\hat i + 7.76 \hat j$

now the displacement of the boat is given as

$d = r_2 - r_1$

$d = (28.98\hat i + 7.76 \hat j) - (11.64 \hat i + 43.46\hat j)$

$d = 17.34 \hat i - 35.7 \hat j$

so the magnitude is given as

$d = \sqrt{17.34^2 + 35.7^2}$

$d = 39.7 km$

A campground official wants to measure the distance across an irregularly-shaped lake, but can't do so directly. He picks a poin

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

149 m

Explanation:

The distances across the lake is forming a triangle.

let the distance between the point and the left side be 'x'

and the distance between the point and the right be 'y'

and the distance across the lake be 'z' and the angle opposite to 'z' be 'Z' given:

∠Z = 83°

x = 105 m

y = 119 m

Now, applying the Law of Cosines, we get

z² = x² + y² - 2xycos(Z)

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

z² = 105² + 119² - 2×105×119×cos(83°)

or

z = √22140.48

or

z = 148.796 m ≈ 149 m

The point is 149 m across the lake
