A 2.8 kg rectangular air mattress is 2.00 m long, 0.500 m wide, and

Physics

kumpel [21]2 years ago

First off, we have to assume that the 2.8 kg mass of the air matress includes both the material that the matress is constructed from and the air that is contained within.

The mattress can support a total weight that is equal to the weight of water that the air matress displaces.

The volume of the air mattress is:

V(mattress) = (2 m)(0.5 m)(0.1 m) = 0.1 m³

This volume is equal to the maximum amount of water that the matress can displace in the water before it begins sinking.

The density of water is 1000 kg / m²

The weight of the maximum amount of displaced water is:

V(matress) * (density of water) * (g) = (0.1 m³) * (1000 kg / m³) * (9.81 m / s²) = 981 N.

Let m represent the mass that the matress is supporting.

The total weight of the matress and the supported mass is:

(2.8 + m) * 9.81

Setting this weight equal to the weight of the water displaced gives:

(2.8 + m) * 9.81 = 981

2.8 + m = 100

m = 100 - 2.8

m = 97.2 kg

Unpolarized light with an intensity of 655 W / m2 is incident on a polarizer with an unknown axis. The light then passes through
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1.\theta=29.84^{0}

2.\theta=60.15^{0}

Explanation:

Polarizes axis can create two possible angles with the vertical.

first we have to find the intensity of  first polarizer

which is given as

I=\frac{I_{0} }{2}

I= \frac{655\frac{W}{M^{2} } }{2}

I=327.5\frac{W}{m^{2} }

For a smaller angle for the first polarizer:

According to Malus Law

I_{2} =I_{1} Cos^{2}(90^{0} - \theta)

I_{2} =I_{1} sin^{2}\theta

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=Sin^{2}\theta

taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{\frac{163}{327.5} } = sin\theta

\theta=Sin^{-1}(0.4977)

\theta=29.84^{0}

For a larger angle for the first polarizer:

According to Malus Law

I_{2} =I_{1} cos^{2}\theta

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=Cos^{2}\theta

taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{\frac{163}{327.5} } = cos\theta

\theta=Cos^{-1}(0.4977)

\theta=60.15^{0}

Fill-in-the-blank test questions measure ________; matching concepts with their definitions measures ________.
Ulleksa [173]

Test questions measure recall; matching concepts with their definitions measures recognition.

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Psychology our brain remembers everything what we learn but the understanding and remembering the right answer for the right question needs training and understanding ability. So in order to enhance the ability of recalling and recognizing among the students, the concept of test questions and matching with definitions are used in curricular activities.

As the students will be learning different terms, definitions, methods and different subjects, they should be able to distinguish among different definitions as well as they should recall the things they have learnt. So the answers for the test questions will help to recall the topics learnt by the students while the matching concept will help the students to recognize each definition with their terms.

Which of the following is not an example of osmosis? Multiple Choice
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Sugar in coffee dissolves.

Explanation:

In this case we have a solution, which is defined as separating what was bound in some way, by homogeneously mixing the molecules of a substance into a liquid. Therefore, it is the resulting homogeneous mixture after dissolving any substance in a liquid.
