Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

<h3>What is total internal reflection?</h3>

The term total internal reflection occurs when light is moving from a denser to a less dense medium such as from glass to air. This phenomenon occurs at the interface between the two media.

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection and they are;

1) Light must travel from a denser to a less dense medium

2) The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle.

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

"why are some galaxies' spectra blueshifted rather than redshifted?"
stira [4]
This phenomena is also called the Doppler shift. When the source of light is approaching towards an observer, the color tends to be blue shifted, but when the source is moving away or being stretch, the color tends to red shifted. In astronomy it can be use how fast galaxy is moving towards us or how fast it moves away.

A 2 kg rubber ball is thrown at a wall horizontally at 3 m/s, and bounces back the way it came at an equal speed. A 2 kg clay ba
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

THE RUBBER BALL

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The mass of the rubber ball is m_r   =  2 \ kg

      The  initial  speed of the rubber ball is  u =  3 \ m/s

      The final speed at which it bounces bank v  - 3 \ m/s

      The mass of the clay ball  is  m_c =  2  \ kg

       The  initial  speed of the clay  ball is u = 3 \ m/s

       The final speed of the clay ball is  v = 0 \  m/s

Generally Impulse is mathematically represented as

       I  =  \Delta p

where \Delta  p is the change in the linear momentum so  

       I  =  m(v-u)

For the rubber  is  

        I_r  =  2(-3 -3)

       I_r  = -12\ kg \cdot  m/s

=>     |I_r|  = 12\ kg \cdot  m/s

For the clay ball

       I_c  =  2(0-3)

        I_c =  -6 \ kg\cdot \ m/s

=>    | I_c| =  6 \ kg\cdot \ m/s

So from the above calculation the ball with the a higher magnitude of impulse is the rubber ball

Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45 m diamete
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

In m/s^2:

a=11.3778 m/s^2

In units of g:

a=1.161 g

Explanation:

Since the racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speed so we are going use the following formula of acceleration for circular paths.

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where:

v is the speed

r is the radius

Now,

a=\frac{16^2}{45/2}\\ a=11.3778 m/s^2

In g units:

a=\frac{11.3778\ g}{9.8}\\ a=1.161\ g

A diver jumps off a cliff 50m high and needs to clear the rock that extend outward 5.0m from the base of the cliff. The diver ju
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

He should run at least at 1.5 m/s

The diver will enter the water at an angle of 87° below the horizontal.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position and velocity of the diver are given by the following vectors:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0x = initial horizontal velocity

t = time

y0 = initial vertical position

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the  upward direction as positive)

v = velocity vector at time t

Please, see the attached figure for a description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the jumping point so that x0 and y0 = 0.

We know that, to clear the rocks, the position vector r final (see figure) should be:

r final = ( > 5.0 m, -50 m)

So let´s find first at which time the y-component of the vector r final is - 50 m:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-50 m = 2.1 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 2.1 m/s · t + 50 m

Solving the quadratic equation

t = 3.4 s

Now, we can calculate the initial horizontal velocity using the equation of the x-component of the position vector knowing that at t =3.4 the horizontal component should be greater than 5.0 m:

x = x0 + v0x · t      (x0 = 0)

5.0 m < v0x · 3.4 s

v0x > 5.0 m / 3.4 s

v0x > 1.5 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity should be greater than 1.5 m/s

To find the angle at which the diver enters the water, we have to find the magnitude of the final velocity (vector vf in the figure). We already know the magnitude of the x-component of the vector vf, since the horizontal velocity is constant. So:

vfx > 1.5 m/s

Now, let´s calculate vfy:

vfy = v0y + g · t

vfy = 2.1 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.4 s

vfy = -31 m/s

Let´s calculate the minimum magnitude that the final velocity will have if the diver safely clears the rocks. Let´s consider the smallest value allowed for vfx: 1.5 m/s. Then:

|v| = \sqrt{(1.5 m/s)^{2} + (31m/s)^{2}} = 31 m/s

Then the final velocity of the diver will be greater or equal than 31 m/s.

To find the angle, we have to use trigonometry. Notice in the figure that the vectors vf, vfx and vy form a right triangle in which vf is the hypotenuse, vfx is the adjacent side and vfy is the opposite side to the angle. Then:

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse = vfx / vf = 1.5 m/s / 31 m/s

θ = 87°

The diver will enter the water at an angle of 87° below the horizontal.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

A. 0.199 J

B. 0.0663 C

C = 0.0221 F

D. 12.68 ohms

Explanation:

From the question:

time duration, t = 0.28 seconds

Average power, P = 0.71 W

Average voltage, V = 3 V

A) Energy is given as:

E = P * t

=> E = 0.71 * 0.28 = 0.199 J

B) Electrical energy is also given as:

E = qV

where q = charge

=> q = E / V

∴ q = 0.199 / 3 = 0.0663 C

C) Capacitance is given as charge over voltage:

C = q / V

=> C = 0.0663 / 3 = 0.0221 F

D) Electrical power, P, can also be given as:

P = V^2 / R

where R = resistance

=> R = V^2 / P

R = 3^2 / 0.71 = 9 / 0.71 = 12.68 ohms
