Answer:

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Distance from fish (D) = 80 cm

Find:

Apparent depth (Da)

Computation:

We know that,

Refractive index of water (n2) = 1.33

So,

Apparent depth (Da) = D(n1/n2)

Apparent depth (Da) = 80 (1/1.33)

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

aalyn [17]
<span>We can think this through intuitively. A frequency of 256 Hz means that the wave has 256 cycles each second. If the wavelength is 1.33 meters, then there are 256 of them each second. Therefore, we just need to multiply the wavelength by the frequency to find the speed of sound. (Note that the units Hz = 1 / s) v = (frequency) x (wavelength) v = (256 Hz) x (1.33 m) v = 340.5 m/s The speed of sound in the vicinity of the fork is 340.5 m/s</span>

1. A diffraction grating with 5.000 x 103 lines/cm is used to examine the sodium
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

0.0002°, 0.1691°, 0.338°

Explanation:

Difference between the two line = 5.97 * 10-⁸m

d = 1 / N

N = 5.0 * 10³

d = 2.0 * 10⁴m

nL = Nsin¤

For first order

588.995 * 10-⁹ = 2.0 * 10-⁴ sin ¤

Sin¤ = 2.944*10-³

¤ = sin-¹ 0.002944

¤ = 0.1687°

First order ¤ =

Sin-¹(589.592*-⁹ / 2.0 * 10-⁴)

Sin-¹ (0.002947) = 0.1689°

Angular separation = 0.1689 - 0.1687 = 0.0002°

Second order ¤ = sin-¹ [2 (589.59*10-⁹ / 2.0*10-⁴)] = sin-¹ (0.005895)

Second order ¤ = 0.3378°

Angular difference = 0.3378° - 0.1687° = 0.1691°

Third order ¤ = sin-¹ [3(589.59*10-⁹ /2.0*10-⁴] = 0.5067°

Angular difference = 0.5067° - 0.1687° = 0.338°

This means that the speed at which the bullet travels across Earth's surface (its magnitude of horizontal velocity) does not aff
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer: the speed at which it falls toward the Earth.


Explanation:


A bullet travelling across Earth's surface with some horizontal velocity is classical example of projectile motion.


Projectile motion is an idealization of the motion under the action of gravity neglecting the influence of the air (no drag force nor friction).


This  kind of motion is the result of two independent motions: vertical motion and horizontal motion.


The observed net velocity is the vectorial sum of the vertical and horizontal velocities.


The horizontal velocity is constant, since there is not any force acting in the horizontal axis. Thi is, the object, following the first Law of Newton (inertia law) tends to continue in uniform rectilinear movement (with zero acceleration).


The vertical velocity, this is the velocity at which the bullet falls toward the Earth, is influenced (accelerated) by the action of the gravity of the Earth. So, the vertical velocity is accelerated by the pull of the Earth.


Vertical and horizontal velocities are independent of each other, which means that the speed or the magnitude of the horizontal velocity does not affect the speed at which an object (the bullet) falls toward the Earth.

How much power does it take to lift a 24 kg gift box 6m above the floor in 4 s?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

<h2>5.6kW</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given

mass m= 24kg

distance moved= 6m

time taken= 4seconds

Step two:

Required

power

but work done is the force applied at a distance, and the power is the work done time the time taken

Work done= F*D

F=mg

W= mg*D

W=24*9.81*6

W=1412.6J

Power P= work * time

P=1412.6*4

p=5650.5W

P=5.6kW
