Answer:

m = 4.5 kg

Explanation:

w = - 1800 j

Fd = - 1800 j

mgd = - 1800 j

m = - 1800 ÷(gd)

m = - 1800 ÷( 10×-40)

m = 4.5 kg

A thin film of oil of thickness t is floating on water. The oil has index of refraction no = 1.4. There is air above the oil. Wh

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:t=0.1205

Explanation:

Given

Refractive index of oil $\left ( \mu \right )=1.4$

Wavelength of red light =675 mm

Condition for constructive interference is

$2\mu _{oil}t=\frac{m\lambda }{2}$

$t=\frac{m\lambda }{4\mu _{oil}}$

For m= 1 i.e. for minimum thickness

$t=\frac{1\times 675\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.4}$

$t=0.1205 \mu m$

Two capacitors, C1 and C2, give an equivalent capacitance of 9.0 pF when connected in parallel and an equivalent capacitance of

Lilit [14]

Answer:

C₁ = 3 pF

C₂ = 6 pF

Explanation:

Let the capacitance be C₁ and C₂.

For parallel combination

C₁ +C₂ = 9

For series combination

$2=\frac{C_1\times C_2}{C_1+C_2}$

$2=\frac{C_1\times C_2}{9}$

C₁ X C₂ = 18

( 9-C₂ )X C₂ = 18

C₂²- 9C₂ +18 = 0

C₂ = 6 or 3.

C₁ = 3 or 6.

C₁ = 3 pF

C₂ = 6 pF

The index of refraction for red light in water is 1.331 and that for blue light is 1.340. A ray of white light enters the water

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) 47.08°

(b) 47.50°

Explanation:

Angle of incidence = 78.9°

<u>For blue light : </u>

Using Snell's law as:

$\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin\theta_1}=\frac {n_1}{n_2}$

Where,

Θ₁ is the angle of incidence

Θ₂ is the angle of refraction

n₂ is the refractive index for blue light which is 1.340

n₁ is the refractive index of air which is 1

So,

$\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin{78.9}^0}=\frac {1}{1.340}$

${sin\theta_2}=0.7323$

Angle of refraction for blue light = sin⁻¹ 0.7323 = 47.08°.

<u>For red light : </u>

Using Snell's law as:

$\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin\theta_1}=\frac {n_1}{n_2}$

Where,

Θ₁ is the angle of incidence

Θ₂ is the angle of refraction

n₂ is the refractive index for red light which is 1.331

n₁ is the refractive index of air which is 1

So,

$\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin{78.9}^0}=\frac {1}{1.331}$

${sin\theta_2}=0.7373$

Angle of refraction for red light = sin⁻¹ 0.7373 = 47.50°.

Why does a hot air balloon fall when the air inside is not heated

trapecia [35]

A hot air balloon rises in the first place because the air inside is hot, which rises. So, if the air inside is not heated, it fails to rise and falls. Warm air rises because the particles get excited and jiggle with the heat, and cause the air to take up more space. So, as the surrounding air is probably colder and denser, the less dense hot air rises up in the hot air balloon.
