By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation

$\frac{\mu_1}{h_o} = \frac{\mu_2}{h_i}$

here we know that

$\mu_1 = 1.473$

$h_o = 5 cm$

$\mu_2 = 1$

now by above formula

$\frac{1.473}{5} = \frac{1}{h_i}$

$h_i = 3.39 cm$

so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm

A thin copper rod 1.0 m long has a mass of 0.050 kg and is in a magnetic field of 0.10 t. What minimum current in the rod is nee

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

$i = 4.9 A$

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying rod due to magnetic field is given as

$F = iLB$

here we know that

$i =$ current in the rod

$B = 0.10 T$

$L = 1.0 m$

now magnetic force is balanced by the weight of the rod

so we will have

$iLB = mg$

$i(1.0)(0.10) = 0.05 \times 9.8$

$i = 4.9 A$

Answer:

The angle between shuttle's velocity and the Earth's field is $\theta = 24.2^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of eire let out is $L = 250 \ m$

The emf generated is $\epsilon = 40 V$

The earth magnetic field is $B = 5.0 *10^{-5} T$

The speed of the shuttle and tether is $v = 7.80 * 10^3 \ m/s$

The emf generated is mathematically represented as

$\epsilon = L\ v\ B\ sin \ \theta$

making $\theta$ the subject of the formula

$\theta = sin ^{-1}[ \frac{\epsilon}{L * B *v} ]$

substituting values

$\theta = sin ^{-1}[ \frac{40}{250 * (5*10^{-5}) *(7.80 *10^{3})} ]$

$\theta = 24.2^o$

Annette [7]

Answer:

Part a)

Induced EMF when length vector is along Z direction is 0.72 V

Part b)

Induced EMF when length vector is along Y direction is ZERO

Explanation:

As we know that the motional EMF induced in the wire is given as

$E = (v\times B). L$

1)

As we know that

$v = 18\hat i + 24\hat j + 72\hat k$

$B = 0.080 \hat j$

$L = 0.50 \hat k$

now we have

$\vec v \times \vec B = 1.44\hat k - 5.76 \hat i$

so we have

$E = 1.44 (0.50) = 0.72 V$

2)

If the length vector is along Y direction then we have

$L = 0.50 \hat j$

so again we have

$\vec v \times \vec B = 1.44\hat k - 5.76 \hat i$

so we have

EMF = 0

A sample of an unknown volatile liquid was injected into a Dumas flask (mflask = 27.0928 g, Vflask = 0.1040 L) and heated until

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The gas was Hexane

Explanation:

taking the diference between the mass of the flask and the final mass qe can calculate the mass of liquid injected (assuming none escaped the flask):

$m_{l} = 27.4593g - 27.0928g = 0.3665g$

with the volume of the flask we can get the density of the gas at the indicated pressure and temperature:

$d_{g} = \frac{0.3665 g}{0.1040L} = 3.524 g/L$

From the ideal gases law we have that the density can be calculated as:

$d_{g} = \frac{P*M}{R*T}$

Where R is the ideal gases constant = , and M the molecular weight of the fluid. Solving for M:

$M=\frac{d_{g}*R*T}{P}=\frac{3.524g/L*0,082atmL/molK*291K}{0.976atm}$

$M=86.16 g/mol$

Note that the temperature is computed in Kelvin T= 18+273=291K

The gas with the closer molar mass is Hexane
