Answer:

The refraction of light at the surface of water makes ponds and swimming pools appear shallower than they really are. A 1m deep pond would only appear to be 0.75 m deep when viewed from directly above. When light emerges from glass or water into air it speeds up again.

Answer:

The property of light is the refraction of light because when light travels from a denser medium to rarer medium it bends away from the normal. The apparent depth of water is always less than the real depth of the water. Hence, water appears to be shallower than the real depth.

A horizontal pipe of diameter 1.03m has a smooth constriction to a section of diameter 0.618 m. The density of oil flowing in th

vodka [1.7K]

Velocity of the oil in the pipe: 0.76 m/s, in the constricted section: 5.87 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Bernoulli's equation:

$p_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$ (1)

where

$p_1 = 7340 N/m^2$ is the pressure in the pipe

$p_2 = 5505 N/m^2$ is the pressure in the constricted section

$\rho = 821 kg/m^3$ is the density of the oil

$v_1$ is the velocity of the oil in the pipe

$v_2$ is the velocity of the oil in the constricted section

Also, according to the continuity equation,

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

where

$A_1 = \pi r_1^2$ is the cross-sectional area of the pipe, with

$r_1 = \frac{1.03}{2}=0.515 m$ is the radius

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2$ is the cross-sectional area of the constricted section, with

$r_2=\frac{0.618}{2}=0.309 m$ is the radius

So the equation becomes

$r_1^2 v_1 = r_2^2 v_2$

So we can write

$v_2=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1$

Substituting into eq.(1),

$p_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho (\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1)^2$

And solving the equation for $v_1$ :

$p_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho \frac{r_1^4}{r_2^4}v_1^2\\v_1=\sqrt{\frac{p_2-p_1}{\frac{1}{2}\rho-\frac{1}{2}\rho \frac{r_1^4}{r_2^4}}}=0.76 m/s$

And the velocity in the constricted section is

$v_2=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1=5.87 m/s$

Which of these is NOT used to create a simple electromagnet?

timurjin [86]

battery

Explanation:

Electromagnets can be created by wrapping a wire around an iron nail and running current through the wire. The electric field in the wire coil creates a magnetic field around the nail. In some cases, the nail will remain magnetised even when removed from within the wire coil

According to newton's law of gravitation, what affects the force of attraction between two objects? distance between them angle

OlgaM077 [116]

The force of attraction between two objects Mass and distance.

<h3>What is newton's law of gravitation?</h3>

Every particle in the cosmos attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation.

Inductive reasoning, as described by Isaac Newton, was used to deduce this general physical law from actual facts. It was created by Newton and is a component of classical mechanics. Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, also known as "the Principia," was originally published on July 5, 1687. In April 1686, when Newton gave Book 1 of the unpublished book to the Royal Society, Robert Hooke said that Newton had learned the inverse square law from him.

According to the law, every point mass attracts every other point mass when a force applies along the line that intersects the two points, in today's parlance. The force is inversely equal to the square of the separation between the masses and directly proportional to their product.

$F = G\frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2} }$

A package is pushed across the floor a distance of 90 feet by exerting a force of 32 lbs downward at an angle of 24 ∘ with the h

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

2632 foot-pound

Explanation:

Work done: Work is said to be done when ever a force moves a body through a given distance. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N).

From the question,

The expression for work done is given as,

W = Fdcos∅......................... Equation 1

Where W = work done, F = force, d = distance, ∅ = angle between the force and the horizontal.

Given: F = 32 lbs, d = 90 feet, ∅ = 24°

substitute into equation 1

W = 32×90×cos24

W = 2880(0.914)

W = 2632.32

W = 2632 foot-pound
