Answer:

light waves slow down in water.

Explanation:

light can reflect off of different surfaces, and in water they slow down.

for example, in a completely black room, the light cannot bounce/reflect off of the walls, that's why it is so dark.

hope this helps!

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

r=0.41m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

\tau=r\times F

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

\tau=rFsin\theta

Where \theta is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when sin\theta is equal to one, solving for r:

r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m

A typical garden hose has an inner diameter of 5/8". Let's say you connect it to a faucet and the water comes out of the hose wi
castortr0y [4]
Since speed (v) is in ft/sec, let's convert our diameters from inches to feet:
1) 5/8in = 0.625in
0.625in × 1ft/12in = 0.0521ft
2) 0.25in × 1ft/12in = 0.021ft
Equation:
v = 4q \div ( {d}^{2} \pi) \: where \: q = flow \\ v = velocity \: (speed) \: and \:  \\ d = diameter \: of \: pipe \: or \: hose \\ and \: \pi = 3.142
we \: can \: only \: assume \:that \\  flow \: (q) \:stays \: same \: since \: it \\  isnt \: impeded \: by \:  anything \\ thus \:it  \: (q)\:  stays \: the \: same \:  \\ so \: 4q \: can \: be \: removed \: from \:  \\ the \: equation
then \: we \: can \: assume \: that \: only \\ v \: and \: d \: change \: leading \:us \: to >  >  \\ (v1 \times {d1}^{2} \pi) = (v2  \times   {d2}^{2}\pi)
both \: \pi \: will \: cancel \: each \: other \: out \:  \\ as \: constants \:since \: one \: is \: on \\ each \: side \: of \: the \:  =

(v1  \times   {d1}^{2}) = (v2 \ \times {d2}^{2}) \\ (7.0 \times   {0.052}^{2}) = (v2  \times   {0.021}^{2}) \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \:  {0.021}^{2} \\ to \: solve \: for \: v2 >  >
v2 = (7.0)( {0.052}^{2} ) \div ( {0.021}^{2})  \\ v2 = (7.0)(.0027) \div (.00043) \\ v2 = 44 \: feet \: per \: second
new velocity coming out of the hose then is
44 ft/sec

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg

Explanation:

since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .

44 = m * 9.81m/s^2

m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg

b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)

44 = m (a +g)

44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)

44/11.18 = m

m = 3.94 kg
