Answer

The refracted wave must obey Snell's equation

Ni sin θi = Nr sin θr

If Nr differs from Ni then sin θr will differ from sin θi

If the wave originates from point A and ends at point B then Snell's Law shows that the time for light to get from point A to point B is a minimum.

$\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

Explanation:

For a linear elastic material Young's modulus is a constant that is given by:

$\gamma=\frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

Here, F is the force exerted on an object under tensio, A is the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the applied force, $\Delta L$ is the amount by which the length of the object changes and $L_0$ is the original length of the object. In this case the force is the weight of the mass:

$F=mg\\F=55kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=539N$

Replacing the given values in Young's modulus formula:

$\gamma=\frac{F/\pi r^2}{(L_1-L_0)/L_0}\\\gamma=\frac{539N/\pi(0.045m)^2}{(5.31m-4.66m)/4.66m}\\\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

How is the magnetic force on a particle moving in a magnetic field different from gravitational and electric forces.

harina [27]

Answer:

The magnetic force on a free moving charge depends on the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field, direction of the force is given by the right hand rule. While gravitational depends on the mass and distance of the moving particle and electric forces depends on the magnitude of the charge and distance of separation.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a free moving charge depends on the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field and direction of the force is given by the right hand rule. While gravitational depends on the mass and distance of the moving particle and electric forces depends on the magnitude of the charge and distance of separation.

The magnetic force is given by the charge times the vector product of velocity and magnetic field. While gravitational force is given by the square of the particle mass divided by the square its distance of separation. Also electric forces is given by the square of the charge magnitude divided by the square its distance separation.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

-72\times 10^{-19}C[/tex]

Explanation:

Both electron and proton have the same amount of charge but signs are opposite , electron contains negative charge and proton contain positive charge

Charge on 1 electron = $-1.6\times 10^{-19}C$
