Explanation:
(a)
Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.
Using Snell's law as:
Where,
is the angle of incidence
is the angle of refraction = 90°
is the refractive index of the refraction medium
is the refractive index of the incidence medium
Thus,
The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:
Where,
is the critical angle
(b)
No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.
Explanation:
a) We need to write down first Newton's 2nd law as applied to the given system. The equations of motion for the x- and y-axes can be written as follows:
From Eqn(2), we see that
so using Eqn(3) on Eqn(1), we get
Solving for the acceleration, we see that
b) Now that we have the acceleration, we can now solve for the velocity of the crate at the bottom of the plane. Using the equation
Since the crate started from rest, 
Thus our equation reduces to
It is an example of balanced force.
hope this helps. good luck
Answer:
You can make a horizontale transverse by moving a slinky vertically up and down!
Explanation:
Answer:
a) the acceleration is -9.8 m/s^2 (gravity's acceleration), the magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2 and the direction is downwards.
The pebble is not decelerating since the magnitude of it's speed is increasing, even if it is on a negative direction.
b) after 0.5 s the pebble is 5.725 meters down. (or -5.725m from it's initial position.)
Explanation:
a) the acceleration is given only by gravity, it's the only force acting on the pebble, the slingshot only gives the pebble an initial speed.
b) To calculate the position we use the equation
y0 + v0·t + ½·g·t² = yf
replacing:
0 + (-9.0m/s) * 0.5s + 1/2 (-9.8)*0.5² = yf
-5.725 = yf
