Answer:

<h2>35</h2>

Explanation:

According to snell's law which states that the ratio of the sin of incidence (i) to the angle of refraction(n) is a constant for a given pair of media.

sini/sinr = n

n is the constant = refractive index

Since the diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat, the refractive index n = nw/ng

nw is the refractive index of water and ng is that of glass

sini/sinr = nw/ng

given i = 30°, nw = 1.33, ng = 1.5, r = angle the light leave the glass

On substitution;

sin 30/sinr = 1.33/1.5

1.5sin30 = 1.33sinr

sinr = 1.5sin30/1.33

sinr = 0.75/1.33

sinr = 0.5639

r = arcsin0.5639

r ≈35°

angle the light leave the glass is 35°

Which of the following best describes a capacitor?
galben [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The capacitor is a component which has the ability to store energy in the form of an electrical charge  making a potential difference on those two metal plates

A capacitor consists of two or more parallel conductive (metal) plates. They are electrically seperated by an insulating material (ex: air, mica,ceramic etc.) which is called as Dielectric Layer

Due to this insulating layer, DC current can not flow through the capacitor.But it allows a voltage to be present across the plates in the form of an electrical charge.

A beam of unpolarized light with intensity I0 falls first upon a polarizer with transmission axis θTA,1 then upon a second polar
loris [4]

Answer:

The intensity I₂ of the light beam emerging from the second polarizer is zero.

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity of first polarizer = Io/2

For the second polarizer, the intensity is equal:

I_{2} =\frac{I_{o} }{2} (cos\theta )^{2} =\frac{I_{o} }{2} (cos90)^{2} =0

A rod 150 cm long and of diameter 2.0 cm is subjected to an axial pull of 20 kn. if the modulus of elasticity of the material of
Scilla [17]
Given:
rod of circular cross section is subjected to uniaxial tension.
Length, L=1500 mm
radius, r = 10 mm
E=2*10^5 N/mm^2
Force, F=20 kN = 20,000 N
[note: newton (unit) in abbreviation is written in upper case, as in  N ]

From given above, area of cross section = &pi; r^2 = 100 &pi; =314 mm^2
(i) Stress,
&sigma;
=force/area
= 20000 N / 314 mm^2
= 6366.2 N/mm^2
= 6370 N/mm^2 (to 3 significant figures)

(ii) Strain
&epsilon;
= ratio of extension / original length
= &sigma; / E
= 6366.2 /(2*10^5)
= 0.03183 
= 0.0318 (to three significant figures)

(iii) elongation
= &epsilon; * L
= 0.03183*1500 mm
= 47.746 mm
= 47.7 mm  (to three significant figures)

A standard baseball has a circumference of approximately 23 cm . if a baseball had the same mass per unit volume as a neutron or
Svetlanka [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Mass of base ball  m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg  

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Circumference of baseball = 2πr = 23 cm

  So radius of baseball = 3.66 cm = 3.66*10^{-2} m

   Mass per unit volume of baseball = Mass per unit volume of neutron or proton.

   Mass of proton = 10^{-27} kg  

   Diameter of proton = 10^{-15} m

   Radius of proton =  5*10^{-16} m

   Volume of ball = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

   Now substituting all values in Mass per unit volume of baseball = Mass per unit volume of neutron or proton.    

         \frac{m_b}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *(3.66*10^{-2})^3} =\frac{10^{-27}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *(5*10^{-16})^3}

         \frac{m_b}{(3.66*10^{-2})^3} =\frac{10^{-27}}{(5*10^{-16})^3}  

         m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg

       So mass of base ball  m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg
