Answer:

Explanation:

Prism is a glass object that is used to study the pattern of refraction.

During this experiment it is not advised to used small values of incident angle , as when a small amount of incident ray is passed the refracted pattern observed at the end will not provide satisfactory results.

The amount of light that comes out of prism which is the refracted light will also be small hence study of complete refracted pattern will not be possible.

The small incident angle will give rise to more errors in measurement.

On a ring road, 12 trams are spaced at regular intervals and travel at a constant speed. How many trams need to be added to the
Sphinxa [80]

3 trams must be added

Explanation:

In this problem, there are 12 trams along the ring road, spaced at regular intervals.

Calling L the length of the ring road, this means that the space between two consecutive trams is

d=\frac{L}{12} (1)

In this problem, we want to add n trams such that the interval between the trams will decrease by 1/5; therefore the distance will become

d'=(1-\frac{1}{5})d=\frac{4}{5}d

And the number of trams will become

12+n

So eq.(1) will become

\frac{4}{5}d=\frac{L}{n+12} (2)

And substituting eq.(1) into eq.(2), we find:

\frac{4}{5}(\frac{L}{12})=\frac{L}{n+12}\\\rightarrow n+12=15\\\rightarrow n = 3

Suppose that a sound source is emitting waves uniformly in all directions. If you move to a point twice as far away from the sou
Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>d. unchanged.</em>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.

In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from

v = fλ

that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.

where v is the speed of the sound wave

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

A 10-kg dog is running with a speed of 5.0 m/s. what is the minimum work required to stop the dog in 2.40 s?
ankoles [38]
Given required solution

M=10kg W=? W=Fd
v=5.0m/s F=mg
t=2.40s =10*10=100N
S=VT
=5m/s*2.4s
=12m
so W=12*100
W=1200J

Sally finds herself stranded on a frozen pond so slippery that she can't stand up or walk on it. To save herself, she throws one
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a) 2.5 m/s. (In the opposite direction to the direction in which she threw the boot).

b) The centre of mass is still at the starting point for both bodies.

c) It'll take Sally 12 s to reach the shore which is 30 m from her starting point.

Explanation:

Linear momentum is conserved.

(mass of boot) × (velocity of boot) + (mass of sally) × (velocity of Sally) = 0

5×30 + 60 × v = 0

v = (-150/60) = -2.5 m/s. (Minus inicates that motion is in the opposite direction to the direction in which she threw the boot).

b) At time t = 10 s,

Sally has travelled 25 m and the boot has travelled 300 m.

Taking the starting point for both bodies as the origin, and Sally's direction as the positive direction.

Centre of mass = [(60)(25) + (5)(-300)]/(60+5)

= 0 m.

The centre of mass is still at the starting point for both bodies.

c) The shore is 30 m away.

Speed = (Distance)/(time)

Time = (Distance)/(speed) = (30/2.5)

Time = 12 s

Hope this Helps!!!
