Explanation:
A glass plate 2.25 mm thick, with an index of refraction of 1.80, is placed between a point source of light with wavelength 620 nm (in vacuum) and a screen. The distance from source to screen is 1.50 cm. How many wavelengths are there between the source and the screen?
Answer:
There are 2.71x10⁴ wavelengths between the source and the screen.
Explanation:
The number of wavelengths (N) can be calculated as follows:
[tex] N = \frac{d_{g}}{\lambda_{g}} + \frac{d_{a}}{\lambda_{a}} [/tex]
Where:
[tex]d_{g}[/tex]: is the distance in glass = 2.25 mm
[tex]d_{a}[/tex]: is the distance in air = 1.50 cm - 0.225 cm = 1.275 cm
[tex]\lambda_{g}[/tex]: is the wavelength in glass
[tex]\lambda_{a}[/tex]: is the wavelength in air = 620 nm
To find the wavelength in glass we need to use the following equation:
[tex] n_{g}*\lambda_{g} = n_{a}*\lambda_{a} [/tex]
Where:
[tex]n_{g}[/tex]: is the refraction index of glass = 1.80
[tex]n_{a}[/tex]: is the refraction index of air = 1
[tex] \lambda_{g} = \frac{\lambda_{a}}{n_{g}} = \frac{620 nm}{1.80} = 344.4 nm [/tex]
Hence, the number of wavelengths is:
[tex] N = \frac{d_{g}}{\lambda_{g}} + \frac{d_{a}}{\lambda_{a}} [/tex]
[tex] N = \frac{2.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m}{344.4 \cdot 10^{-9} m} + \frac{1.275 \cdot 10^{-2} m}{620 \cdot 10^{-9} m} [/tex]
[tex] N = 2.71 \cdot 10^{4} [/tex]
Therefore, there are 2.71x10⁴ wavelengths between the source and the screen.

Explanation:
Which transformation of energy occurs when a fan is turned on and the blades start to rotate?
Answer:
kinetic energy
Explanation:
A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator

If a system is maintained at a pressure of 2 psi of vacuum, what is the pressure in psia (lbs per square inch absolute)
Answer:
The absolute pressure of the system is 12.7 psia.
Explanation:
Let suppose that system works at an atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psia, the absolute pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure minus vaccum pressure, that is:
[tex]p_{abs} = p_{atm} - p_{vac}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]p_{abs}[/tex] - Absolute pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.
[tex]p_{atm}[/tex] - Atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.
[tex]p_{vac}[/tex] - Vacuum pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.
Given that [tex]p_{atm} = 14.7\,psia[/tex] and [tex]p_{vac} = 2\,psia[/tex], the absolute pressure of the system is:
[tex]p_{abs} = 14.7\,psia-2\,psia[/tex]
[tex]p_{abs} = 12.7\,psia[/tex]
The absolute pressure of the system is 12.7 psia.
Does a free falling object fall 2 meters in twice the time as it falls 1 meter?
a. Yes, it takes twice as long to fall twice as far. b. Yes, it takes longer to fall farther.
c. No, since it is speeding up as it falls it will cover the same distance in a shorter time.
d. No, it takes the same time since it does not accelerate.
A free-falling object has a consrant force acting on it . . . the force of gravity, or what technical experts refer to as its "weight".
Since the object has a constant force acting on it, it must constantly accelerate according to Newton's 2nd law of motion. The way this acceleration reveals itself, the object's speed is constantly increasing.
Since the object is speeding up as it falls, there are a few weird things that happen:
-- It will fall 2 meters in less than double the time for 1 meter.
-- It will fall 3 meters in less than triple the time for 1 meter.
-- It will fall 4 meters in less than quadruple the time for 1 meter, and less than double the time for 2 meters.
-- It will fall 1 meter near the bottom in less time than 1 meter near the top.
None of the choices exactly answers the question.

A whale swims at a constant speed of 8m/s for 17s what distance did it travel
We have,
Speed = 8 m/s
Time = 17 seconds
Now,
Speed = Distance/Time
★ Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:
⇒ 8 = Distance/17
⇒ Distance = 8 × 17
⇒ Distance = 136 m
Hence,the distance covered by a whale is 136 m .

Explanation:
Li and Raj are playing football. They take turns trying to run past each other with the football. Li weighs 125 pound and Raj weighs 175 pounds. Li discovers that if he changes direction quickly when running, he can always dodge out of the way before Raj can tackle him.
Complete question is;
Li and Raj are playing football. They take turns trying to run past each other with the football. Li weighs 125 pound and Raj weighs 175 pounds. Li discovers that if he changes direction quickly when running, he can always dodge out of the way before Raj can tackle him.
Why is Li able to avoid Raj’s tackle? Choose the best description.
A) Raj has more mass and therefore more inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Li.
B) Raj has more mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Li.
C) Li has less mass and therefore more inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.
D) Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.
Answer:
Option D - Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.
Explanation:
From Newton's first law of motion which is known as law of inertia, an object will remain at rest or continue in constant motion unless an external force acts upon it. This means that Inertia is simply the resistance of an object to any change in its state of rest or motion.
This means that the larger the mass of the object, the more resistance the object will have from an external force. Similarly, the smaller the object, the less resistance it will have from an external force.
Therefore, we can see that larger mass means larger resistance and in turn larger inertia while smaller mass denotes smaller resistance and in turn smaller inertia.
Now, from the question,Li weighs 125 pound and Raj weighs 175 pounds. So, Li has lesser mass than Raj, and so he also has less inertia. Thus, he can change his motion more easily than Raj due to that.
Answer:
Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

A ball of moist clay falls 17.3 m to the ground. It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping. (a) What is the average acceleration of
Answer:
Acceleration, [tex]767.08\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Height from a ball falls the ground, h = 17.3 m
It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping.
We need to find the average acceleration the ball during the time it is in contact with the ground.
Firstly, find the velocity when it reached the ground. So,
[tex]v^2=u^2+2ah[/tex]
u = initial velocity=0 m/s
a = acceleration=g
[tex]v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 17.3} \\\\v=18.41\ m/s[/tex]
It is in negative direction, u = -18.41 m/s
Let a is average acceleration of the ball. Consider, v = and u = -18.41 m/s.
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-18.41}{24\times 10^{-3}}\\\\a=767.08\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the average acceleration of the ball during the time it is in contact is [tex]767.08\ m/s^2[/tex].

Explanation:
why is it wrong to say a single object all alone is moving
Answer:
It is wrong to say that "a single object all alone is moving" simply because it goes against Newton's law of inertia.
Explanation:
From Newton's law of inertia, it states that: An object at rest or in constant motion will continue in it's present state unless it is acted upon by an external force.
Which means that a single object by itself cannot move anywhere unless it is acted upon by an external force..
Thus, it is wrong to say that "a single object all alone is moving" simply because it goes against Newton's law of inertia.

In some countries, pedestrians attach reflective strips to their clothes or bags when they walk
outside during the night. Why do you think the pedestrians use these reflective strips?
Answer:
I think they use it at night because they want to avoid involving themselves in road accident while crossing the street. When there are reflective strips on their clothes, drivers do notice them even at far ends of the street since the strips will reflect the rays from the car lights to the driver,hence, the driver notifies that there is a pedestrian crossing and therefore slows down.
Three. Grams of the same substance in different phases are stored in three different containers. Each container is barely large enough to hold the substance
Complete question is;
Three grams of the same substance in different phases are stored in three different containers. Each container is barely large enough to hold the substance. Which statement can be known about the behavior of the atoms in each container?
A) The atoms in the solid would be moving vigorously around the container.
B) The atoms in the liquid would be vibrating in position.
C) The atoms in the solid would be vibrating in position.
D) The atoms in the gas would be moving slowly around the container.
Answer:
Option C - The atoms in the solid would be vibrating in position
Explanation:
Option A is wrong because the molecules in solids are held together by strong inter molecular forces and therefore can't move about freely but instead will vibrate in their position.
Option B is wrong because the atoms in liquid are more free than those in solids. Thus they will not have room to vibrate.
Option C is correct from the explanation from option A.
Option D is wrong because the atom of the gas would be very loose and free and would therefore be moving very fast around the container
