Answer:

Explanation:

You need to consider the index of refraction.

index of refraction of air: 1.00

index of refraction of water: 1.33

Index of refraction of steel: 2.75681

If the sound wave passed from air into water, it passes from a lower index to a higher index of refraction.

As the wave travels into the more dense medium (higher n), it slows down. Therefore from air to water (lower to higher) it slows down, and from water to steel (n of steel is higher that n of water) therefore it slows down even more.

Newton’s second law relates an object’s acceleration to its mass and the net force acting on it. Does newton’s second law apply

alexgriva [62]

No, newton’s second law does not apply to a situation in which there is no net force.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

A force is a push or pull upon an object which stops or tends to stop the object and move or tends to move an object.

No, newton’s second law apply to a situation in which there is no net force because force compels the object to move in the direction in which force is applied so we can conclude that force is compulsory to move an object.

The power of a machine mesures

strojnjashka [21]

A power meter is a device fitted to a bike that measures the power output of the rider.

Most commonly, power meters use strain gauges that deflect slightly when a force is applied. By measuring this torque and combining it with angular velocity, power (measured in watts) can be calculated.

An antiproton is identical to a proton except it has the opposite charge, âˆ’e. To study antiprotons, they must be confined in a

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that, the force responsible for circulating in circular path is the centripetal force given by the force on charged particle due to magnetic field.

Here the charge is antiproton is

p = -1.6 * 10⁻¹⁹C

the speed of proton is given by 1.5 * 10 ⁴ m/s

the magnetic field is B = 4.5 * 10⁻³T

we have force due to magnetic field is equal to centripetal force

Bqv = mv² / r

Bq = mv / r

$r = \frac{mv}{Bq} \\\\r=\frac{mv}{Bq} \\\\r=\frac{1.67 \times 10^-^2^7\times 1.5 \times 10^4}{4.5 \times 10^-^3\times 11.6\times 10^-^1^9} \\\\r=347.9\times 10^-^4\\\\r=3.479cm$

The diameter d of the vacuum chamber have to allow these antiprotons to circulate without touching the walls is

d = 2r

d = 2 * 3.479

d = 6.958

d ≅ 7cm
