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.

Certain meteorites have been examined and found to carry samples of which molecules?

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Sugars...

Explanation:

Several meteorites have been found to carry molecules of sugars that are essential for life. These sugars include Ribose, Arabinose and Xylose. These are found in meteorites that are rich in carbon. These significant discoveries can pave way in finding the origin of life on Earth.

A long-distance swimmer is able to swim through still water at 4.0 km/h. She wishes to try to swim from Port Angeles, Washington

Roman55 [17]

Let $\theta$ be the direction the swimmer must swim relative to east. Then her velocity relative to the water is

$\vec v_{S/W}=\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)(\cos\theta\,\vec\imath+\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath)$

The current has velocity vector (relative to the Earth)

$\vec v_{W/E}=\left(3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\,\vec\imath$

The swimmer's resultant velocity (her velocity relative to the Earth) is then

$\vec v_{S/E}=\vec v_{S/W}+\vec v_{W/E}$

$\vec v_{S/E}=\left(\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\theta+3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\,\vec\imath+\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath$

We want the resultant vector to be pointing straight north, which means its horizontal component must be 0:

$\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\theta+3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}=0\implies\cos\theta=-\dfrac{3.0}{4.0}\implies\theta\approx138.59^\circ$

which is approximately 41º west of north.

The sound level at 1.0 m from a certain talking person talking is 60 dB. You are surrounded by five such people, all 1.0 m from

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

66.98 db

Explanation:

We know that

$L_T=L_S+10log(n)$

L_T= Total signal level in db

n= number of sources

L_S= signal level from signal source.

$L_T=60+10 log(5)$

= 66.98 db

Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly h

Bezzdna [24]

: 30.50 km/h = 30.50^3 m / 3600s = 8.47 m/s

At the top of the circle the centripetal force (mv²/R) comes from the car's weight (mg)

So, the net downward force from the car (Fn) = (weight - centripetal force) .. and by reaction this is the upward force provided by the road ..

Fn = mg - mv²/R
Fn = m(g - v²/R) .. .. 1800kg (9.80 - 8.47²/20.20) .. .. .. ►Fn = 11 247 N (upwards)
(b)
When the car's speed is such that all the weight is needed for the centripetal force .. then the net downward force (Fn), and the reaction from the road, becomes zero.

ie .. mg = mv²/R .. .. v² = Rg .. .. 20.20m x 9.80 = 198.0(m/s)²

►v = √198 = 14.0 m/s

A baseball of mass m = 0.49 kg is dropped from a height h1 = 2.25 m. It bounces from the concrete below and returns to a final h

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum

mv - mu , v and u are final and initial velocity during impact at surface

For downward motion of baseball

v² = u² + 2gh₁

= 2 x 9.8 x 2.25

v = 6.64 m / s

It becomes initial velocity during impact .

For body going upwards

v² = u² - 2gh₂

u² = 2 x 9.8 x 1.38

u = 5.2 m / s

This becomes final velocity after impact

change in momentum

m ( final velocity - initial velocity )

.49 ( 5.2 - 6.64 )

= .7056 N.s.

Impulse by floor in upward direction

= .7056 N.s
