What happens to the ray of light when it travels from glass to water?

Physics

vodomira [7]2 years ago

Glass and water are thicker and heavier than air. They are said to be 'denser' than air. What happens is that light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass or water. This slowing down of the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change direction.

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns
Tasya [4]

Complete Question

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns.

The output from the secondary coil is  12 V

Answer:

The value  is  N_s  =  21 \  turns

Explanation:

From the equation we are told that

   The input voltage is  V_{in}  = 120 \ V

   The number of turns of the primary coil is N_p =  210 \  turn

    The output from the secondary is V_o =  12V

From the transformer equation

   \frac{N_p}{V_{in}}  =\frac{N_s}{V_o}

Here N_s is the number of turns in the secondary coil

=> N_s  =  \frac{N_p}{V_{in}}  *  V_s

=>N_s  =  \frac{210}{120}  *  12

=>N_s  =  21 \  turns

Three bullets are fired simultaneously by three guns aimed toward the center of a circle where they mash into a stationary lump.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

2,87 * 10^{-3}

Explanation:

When the bullets meet at the center and collide, since momentum is a vectoral quantity, their momentum vectors even up and are sumof zero. Formula of momentum is P = m.v , where m is mass and v is velocity. Let’s name the first two bullets as x,y and the one which mass is unknown as z. Then calculate momentum of x and y:

Px= 5,30 * 10^{-3} * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s

Py= 5,30 * 10^{-3} * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s

The angle between x and y bullets is 120°, and we know that if the angle between two equal magnitude vectors is 120°, the magnitude of the resultant vector will be equal to first two and placed in exact middle of two vectors. So we can say total momentum of x and y (Px+Py) equals to 1,5953 kg*m/s as well (Shown in the figure).  

For z bullet to equalize the total momentum of x and y bullets, it needs to have the same amount of momentum in the opposite way.

Pz = 1,5953 = m * 554

m = 2,87 * 10^{-3} kg
