The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.

What is a laser beam?

Laser beam is a light beam propagating dominantly in one direction.

It is a beam of radiation produced from a laser.

Here given that,

refraction index of glass, n1= 1.52

refraction index of polystyrene plastic, n2 = 1.59

deflection angle, B = 22.6º

For the second surface,

B  = 45º - 22.6º

B  = 22.40º

Now from the formula of Snell's law:

n1 sinФ = n2 sin B

sin B / sinФ = n1 / n2

sinФ = (sin 22.40º) * ( 1/ 1.59)

Ф = 37.29º

Hence,

The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.

The planet Krypton has a mass of 7.6 × 1023 kg and radius of 1.7 × 106 m. What is the acceleration of an object in free fall nea
olga55 [171]

Answer:

17.55 m/s²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of Krypton, M = 7.6 * 10^23 kg

Radius, R = 1.7 * 10^6 m

Gravitational constant, G = 6.6726 * 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

Acceleration due to gravity of planet of mass M is given as:

g = GM/R²

Since the object is close to the surface of Krypton, we can say that the distance from the Centre of Krypton is the radius of the planet Krypton.

Therefore,

g = (6.6726 * 10^(-11) * 7.6 * 10^23)/(1.7 * 10^6)²

g = 17.55 m/s²

Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other yellow, are involved in an elastic, glancing collision. The yello
klemol [59]

Answer:

3.62m/s and 2.83m/s

Explanation:

Apply conservation of momentum

For vertical component,

Pfy = Piy

m* Vof (sin38) - m*Vgf (sin52) = 0

Divide through by m

Vof(sin38) - Vgf(sin52) = 0

Vof(sin38) = Vgf(sin52)

Vof (sin38/sin52) = Vgf

0.7813Vof = Vgf

For horizontal component

Pxf= Pxi

m* Vof (cos38) - m*Vgf (cos52) = m*4.6

Divide through by m

Vof(cos38) + Vgf(cos52) = 4.6

Recall that

0.7813Vof = Vgf

Vof(cos38) + 0.7813 Vof(cos52) = 4.6

0.7880Vof + 0.4810Vof = 4.

1.269Vof = 4.6

Vof = 4.6/1.269

Vof = 3.62m/s

Recall that

0.7813Vof = Vgf

Vgf = 0.7813 * 3.62

Vgf = 2.83m/s

What characteristics determine how easily two substances change temperature
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer;

Amount of time the two substances are in contact

Area in contact between the two substances

Specific heat of the material that makes up the substances

Explanation;

The change in temperature of a substance is caused by heat energy. The change in temperature will depend on factors such as mass of the substance, the type of material it is made from, the time taken , specific heat of the material that makes the substance, and also the area of contact.

The amount of time the two substances are in contact affect the change in temperature such that if the two bodies are in contact for a longer time then a bigger change in temperature will be observed.

Specific heat capacity also determines the change in temperature that will be observed, such that a substance with a bigger specific heat capacity will record a small change in temperature.
