Answer:

Now make holes in all the directions. Now fill with water. The water comes out of the bottle in all the direction. This shows that liquids exert pressure in all direction

A book is moved once around the edge of a tabletop with dimensions 1.75 m Ã 2.25 m. If the book ends up at its initial position,

uysha [10]

Explanation:

The dimension of the book is 1.75 m × 2.25 m. If the book ends up at its initial position. The displacement of the book is equal to zero as the object reaches to its initial position.

If it completes its motion in 23 s, t = 23 s

Total displacement of the book is equal to its perimeter. It is given by :

$d=2(1.75+2.25)=8\ m$

The net displacement divided by total time taken is called the average velocity of an object. Here, the displacement is 0. So, average velocity is 0.

The average speed of an object is given by :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$v=\dfrac{8\ m}{23\ s}$

v = 0.347 m/s

So, the average speed of the book is 0.347 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A student tests the acidity of nitric acid (HNO3) by dissolving a sample of HNO3 in a solution of liquid methane. He then uses a

DerKrebs [107]

Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:

1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:

2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.

Does that help?

Light propagate faster through medium “a” than medium “b”

dangina [55]

1) Medium "b" has more optical density

2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.

The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in a medium

Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.

In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.

We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1, n_2$ are the index of refraction of the two mediums

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)

Here we want the direction of propagation of the light ray not to change: this means that it must be

$sin \theta_1 = sin \theta_2$ (1)

However, here we have two mediums "a" and "b" with different index of refraction, so

$n_1\neq n_2$

Therefore the only angle that can satisfy eq.(1) is

$\theta_1 = \theta_2 = 0$

So, the light must hit the surface perpendicular to the interface between the two mediums.
