Answer:
Decreases
Explanation:
I think this is right tell me if it's wrong.
Answer:
Increases.
Explanation:
The density of the second medium increases, the angle of refraction also increases because of higher density of the medium. In more denser medium, there is more resistance for the light ray so it bends more as compared to less denser medium in which less bending of light ray occur. The angle of refraction increases when the density of medium is more than the previous medium so we can say that the angle of refraction increases due to increase in density of another medium.
An alternating current is supplied to an electronic component with a warning that the voltage across it should never exceed 13 V. What is the highest rms voltage that can be supplied to this component while staying below the voltage limit in the warning
Answer:
9.2 V
Explanation:
The RMS value of an AC is the effective value of a varying voltage or current in DC, that is the equivalent value of the AC which produces the same effect as an DC. For example if a motor is supplied by a 9V RMS voltage, it will rotate as if the voltage applied was 9V DC.
The RMS value is given by:
RMS voltage = Peak voltage * 1/√2
Given that the maximum voltage should not exceed 13 V, this means that the peak voltage is 13 V. The maximum RMS voltage is:
RMS voltage = Peak voltage * 1/√2 = 13 * 1/√2 = 9.2 V
The lens labelled (B) has radius 16.5cm on the curved side. Using the shape of the lens to assign the sign of the radius, calculate the focal length of the lens. Give your answer with the correct positive or negative sign using the usual convention for lenses.
Answer:
convex f = 33 cm
concave f = -33 cm
Explanation:
In geometric optics the focal length of a lens is given by
[tex]\frac{1}{f} = ( n-1) \ (\frac{1}{R_2} - \frac{1}{R_1} )[/tex]
where n is the refractive index of the medium, R₁ and R₂ are the focal lengths on each side of the lens.
In this case one of the sides is flat so its focal length is infinite, if the lens is convex the focal length is positive, convergent lens and if it is concave the focal length is negative, divergent lens.
[tex]\frac{1}{f} = (n-1) \ \frac{1}{R}[/tex]
the refractive index of the glass is n = 1.5
let's calculate
1 / f = (1.5 -1) 1 / 16.5
1 / f = 0.03030
f = 33 cm
convex f = 33 cm
concave f = -33 cm
on power line, bird can enjoy sitting from one live wire to the other. However,if a person touches it,then the person will die within split seconds. explain this situation
Answer:
Due to potential difference (elaborated in explanation)
Explanation:
When a bird sits on a power line, its whole body is in contact with the power line. It does not have any contact with the ground or anything at a lower potential. Hence, the current does not flow through the bird's body, because there is no potential difference available as a driving force.
Now, when a person touches the power line his hand is at a higher potential provided by the power line, while the rest of his body is connected to the ground, usually through legs. The current always looks for a path from high potential to low potential. Therefore, the body of the person serves as the path for the current. Heavy current flows through the body and the person die within split seconds.

How can a tennis ball and a bowling ball have the same momentum ?
A tennis ball and a bowling ball can have the same momentum. This is because, it depends upon both the mass of object and velocity of object.
What is Momentum?Momentum can be defined as the mass in motion. All objects which have mass so, if an object is moving in space, then it has some amount of momentum which has its mass in motion. The amount of momentum which an object has depend upon two variables which include how much stuff is moving that is the mass of object and how fast the stuff is moving that is the speed.
A fast-moving tennis ball may have the same momentum as a slow-bowling ball. It is important to understand here that the momentum of an object which depends on the product of the mass and velocity of an object, but not the mass or the velocity alone.

The first law of thermodynamics (which states that energy is conserved) does not specify the direction in which thermodynamic processes in nature can spontaneously occur.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
The law of conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be converted or transformed from one form to another. Therefore, the sum of the initial kinetic energy and potential energy is equal to the sum of the final kinetic energy and potential energy.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf .......equation 1
Where;
Ki and Kf are the initial and final kinetic energy respectively.
Ui and Uf are the initial and final potential energy respectively.
The First Law of Thermodynamics is another way to describe the Law of Conservation of Energy. Typically, the First Law of Thermodynamics states that the change of internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of external work and heat spent on the system.
Mathematically, the First Law of Thermodynamics is given by the formula;
ΔU = Q − W
Where;
ΔU represents the change in internal energy of a system.
Q represents the net heat transfer in and out of the system.
W represents the sum of work (net work) done on or by the system.
Hence, the direction in which any thermodynamic process in nature can spontaneously occur isn't stated by the First Law of Thermodynamics.
The tension in a pulley belt is 31 N when stationary. Calculate power in watts transmitted when the belt is on the point of slipping on the smaller wheel. the wheel is 379 mm diameter and the coefficient of friction is 0.3. The angle of lap is 1610. The wheel speed is 1,547 rev/min.
Answer:
P = 756.84 Watts
Explanation:
As the tension is stationary or innitial, T₀ = 31 N, the mean would be:
T₁ + T₂ / 2 = T₀ (1)
T₁ + T₂ = 2 * 31 = 62 N
Now, with the following expression we can determine the linear speed:
V = πWD (2)
W: angular speed of the wheel (rev/s)
D: diameter of the wheel (in meters)
W = 1547 rev/min * (1 min/60 s) = 25.78 rev/s
V = π * 25.78 * 0.379 = 30.695 m/s
We also know that:
T₁ / T₂ = exp (μθ)
T₁ = T₂ exp(μθ) (3)
We already have those values so replacing:
T₁ = T₂ exp(0.3 * 161 * π/180)
T₁ = 2.32T₂ (4)
We can now replace (4) in (1) like this:
T₁ + T₂ = 62 N
2.32T₂ + T₂ = 62
3.32T₂ = 62
T₂ = 18.67 N
Which means that T₁:
T₁ = 2.32(18.67)
T₁ = 43.33 N
Finally, the power can be determined using the following expression:
P = (T₁ - T₂)V (5) Replacing we have:
P = (43.33 - 18.67)*30.695
P = 756.84 WattsHope this helps
The load across a 12 V battery consists of a series combination of three resistors 34 Ω, 42Ω, and 30Ω. What is the total resistance of the load? Answer in units of Ω. What is the current in the circuit? Answer in units of A.
Answer:
The total resistance is 106 Ω and the current in the circuit is 0.11 A.
Explanation:
Given that,
Voltage of the battery, V = 12 V
Resistors 34 Ω, 42Ω, and 30Ω are connected in series.
The total resistance is given by :}
R = 34 + 42 +30
= 106Ω
Let I is the total current in the circuit. Using ohm's law to find it such that,
[tex]I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{12}{106}\\\\I=0.11\ A[/tex]
Hence, the total resistance is 106 Ω and the current in the circuit is 0.11 A.
A metal with work function 1.17 eV is illuminated with light of wavelength 437 nm. What stopping potential is required for the photoelectrons
Answer: [tex]1.67\ V[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
Work function [tex]\phi =1.17\ eV[/tex]
The wavelength of the light is [tex]\lambda =437\ nm[/tex]
Energy associated with this wavelength is
[tex]E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{1.99\times 10^{-25}}{437\times 10^{-9}}\\\\\Rightarrow E=4.553\times 10^{-19}\ J\\\\\Rightarrow E=2.841\ eV[/tex]
Stopping potential is
[tex]V=\dfrac{E-\phi }{e}\\\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{\left(2.841-1.17\right)e}{e}\\\\\Rightarrow V=1.67\ V[/tex]
In any given wave, when the frequency of the wave doubles (f = 2f), which of the following other changes would also take place?
A The wavelength would double (λ = 2λ).
B The velocity would double (v = 2v).
C The wavelength would be half (λ = λ/2).
D The velocity would be half (v = v/2).
Answer:
The correct answer is -
B. The velocity would double (v = 2v).
C. The wavelength would be half (λ = λ/2).
Explanation:
A wave has a speed or velocity that is related to the wavelength of the wave and the frequency of the wave and this relationship can be represented by the following equation-
Wave velocity V = Wavelength (λ) * Frequency (f)
Frequency (f) = Velocity (V) / Wavelength(λ).
The frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional and frequency and velocity are directly proportional to each other.
So, if f = 2f then,
putting value in the formula,
2f = 2v/λ, which means, f = 2v and f = λ/2
when the frequency is doubled, the wavelength will be halved and velocity will be doubled.
A 70 kg human body typically contains 140 g of potassium. Potassium has a chemical atomic mass of 39.1 u and has three naturally occurring isotopes. One of those isotopes, 40K (potassium), is radioactive with a half-life of 1.3 billion years and a natural abundance of 0.012 %. Each 40K (potassium) decay deposits, on average, 1.0 MeV of energy into the body.
What yearly dose in Gy does the typical person receive from the decay of 40K (potassium) in the body? Express your answer using two significant figures.
Answer:
Gy = 3.14x10⁻⁴ Gy
Explanation:
To get the dose in Gy we need to use the following expression:
Gy = E / m (1)
Where:
Gy: dose
E: energy absorbed per atom
m: mass of the human body.
We don't have the energy per atom, but we can calculate that by following the next procedure.
First, let's determine the number of atoms of potassium in our body. For that we need to determine the moles in the 140 g of potassium, with the molecular mass and then, use the avogadro's number:
moles = m/MM
moles = 140 / 39.1 = 3.58 moles
N° atoms = 3.58 * 6.02x10²³ atoms = 2.16x10²⁴ atoms of K.
The abundance of the ⁴⁰K is 0.012% so the atoms of this isotope would be:
N = 2.16x10²⁴ * (0.012/100) = 2.59x10²⁰ atoms of ⁴⁰K.
With this number, and the half life rate, we can determine the number of decay atoms in a year (λ) using the following expression:
λ = ln2 / t(1/2)
λ = ln2 / 1.3x10⁹ = 5.33x10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹
This number, multiplied by the number of atoms:
R = 5.33x10⁻¹⁰ * 2.59x10²⁰ = 1.38x10¹¹ atoms/year
Now, each atom of K gives an average energy of 1 MeV, so with the atoms we have:
E = 1.38x10¹¹ * 1x10⁶ eV = 1.38x10¹⁷ eV
This value can be expressed in Joules so:
E = 1.38x10¹⁷ eV * (1 J / 6.24x10¹⁸ eV) = 0.022 J
Finally, we can use (1) to get the dose in Gy:
Gy = 0.022 / 70
Gy = 3.14x10⁻⁴ GyHope this helps
A block of mass m slides along a frictionless surface with kinetic energy Kiit collides with a block of mass 3m that is initially at rest, and the two blocks stick together and slide with total kinetic energy Kf . What is the ratio Kf:Ki
Answer:
the ratio Kf : Ki is 1 / 4 or 1 : 4
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Since this is a perfectly inelastic collision, momentum is conserved;
[tex]P_{initial[/tex] = [tex]P_{final[/tex]
Now for BLOCK 1
mass = M₁ = M
KE = K[tex]_i[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]mv[tex]_i[/tex]₁² = K[tex]_i[/tex]
we solve for v[tex]_i[/tex]₁
mv[tex]_i[/tex]₁² = 2K[tex]_i[/tex]
v[tex]_i[/tex]₁ = √( 2K[tex]_i[/tex] / m )
for BLOCK 2
mass = M₂ = 3m and since its at rest v[tex]_i[/tex]₂ = 0
Now after the collision; Total mass = m + 3m = 4m
KE = K[tex]_f[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]( 4m )v[tex]_f[/tex]² = K[tex]_f[/tex]
(2m)v[tex]_f[/tex]² = K[tex]_f[/tex]
v[tex]_f[/tex] = √(K[tex]_f[/tex] / 2m)
so since [tex]P_{initial[/tex] = [tex]P_{final[/tex]
[m₁ × v[tex]_i[/tex]₁] + [m₂ × v[tex]_i[/tex]₂] = ( m + 3m ) × v[tex]_f[/tex]
so
[ m₁ × √( 2K[tex]_i[/tex] / m ) ] + [ m₂ × 0 ] = ( m + 3m ) × [ √(K[tex]_f[/tex] / 2m) ]
[ m × √( 2K[tex]_i[/tex] / m ) ] = 4m × [ √(K[tex]_f[/tex] / 2m) ]
square both side
m² × 2K[tex]_i[/tex] / m = (4m)² × K[tex]_f[/tex] / 2m
m² × 2K[tex]_i[/tex] / m = 16m² × K[tex]_f[/tex] / 2m
m × 2K[tex]_i[/tex] = 8m × K[tex]_f[/tex]
2K[tex]_i[/tex] = 8K[tex]_f[/tex]
K[tex]_f[/tex] = 2K[tex]_i[/tex] / 8
K[tex]_f[/tex] / K[tex]_i[/tex] = 2 / 8
K[tex]_f[/tex] / K[tex]_i[/tex] = 1 / 4
Therefore, the ratio Kf : Ki is 1 / 4 or 1 : 4
The ratio of the final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy of the blocks is determined as 1:4.
Final speed of the blocks after collisionThe speed of the two blocks after collision is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;
m1u1 + m2u2 = v(m1 + m2)
mu1 + m2(0) = v(m + 3m)
mu1 = v(4m)
u1 = 4v
Ratio of the final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy[tex]\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_i} = \frac{0.5(4m)v_f^2}{0.5(m)u_1^2} \\\\\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_i} = \frac{4(v_f)^2}{u_1^2} \\\\\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_i} = \frac{4v_f^2}{(4v_f)^2} = \frac{4v_f^2}{16v_f^2} = \frac{1}{4} = 1:4[/tex]

How strong is the repulsive force exerted on two point charges that each carry 1.0 E-6 C of negative charge and are 0.30 meters apart?
Coulomb's Constant is 9.0 E9 N*m2/C2
Remember to identity all of your data, write the equation, and show your work.
F = Kq₁q₂/(r)²
K is a constant
R is the distance between them
F = 9.0 E9 × 1.0 E-6 × 1.0 E-6/(0.30)²
= 9.0E-3/0.30² = 9.0E-3/0.09 = 0.1 N
The electrostatic force of repulsion between two charges can be determined using Coulomb's law of electrostatic force. The force of repulsion between the point charges of magnitude 1 ×10 ⁻⁶ C separated by 0.30 m is 0.1 N.
What is Coulomb's law of electrostatic forces?According Coulomb's law of electrostatic forces, the force between two charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance of r meters is given by the expression:
F = K q1 q2/r²
Where, K is Coulomb's Constant equal to 9.0 ×10⁹ Nm²/C²
Given q1 = q2 = 1 ×10 ⁻⁶ C
r = 0.30 m
k = 9.0 ×10⁹ Nm²/C².
Then the electrostatic force of repulsion between the two point charges is calculated as follows:
F = 9.0 ×10⁹ Nm²/C² × 1 ×10 ⁻⁶ C × 1 ×10 ⁻⁶ C/ (0.30 m )²
= 0.1 N.

One long wire lies along an x axis and carries a current of 39 A in the positive x direction. A second long wire is perpendicular to the xy plane, passes through the point (0, 4.4 m, 0), and carries a current of 47 A in the positive z direction. What is the magnitude of the resulting magnetic field at the point (0, 0.80 m, 0)
Answer:
Explanation:
Magnetic field due to a long current carrying wire can be calculated as follows .
B = 10⁻⁷ x 2I / d where B is magnetic field , I is current .
The wire is along x -axis and the point is on y-axis at a distance of 0.8 m
Magnetic field at point of .8 m on y -axis
B₁ = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 39 / 0.8
= 97.5 x 10⁻⁷ T .
Second wire is parallel to z-axis and passes through point on y-axis at a distance of 4.4 m . So the given point is at a distance of 4.4 - .8 = 3.6 m
Magnetic field
B₂ = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 47 / 3.6
= 26.11 x 10⁻⁷ T .
Both these magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other so
Resultant magnetic field
B = √ ( 26.11² + 97.5² ) x 10⁻⁷ T
= √( 681.73 + 9506.25 ) x 10⁻⁷ T
= √( 10187.98) x 10⁻⁷ T
= 100.93 x 10⁻⁷ T .
