First let us examine our options. For B, the law of inertia state that an object will keep on moving unless acted upon an external force. And I am thinking this is not the appropriate answer here. Also for C momentum and mass are not the same. Momentum is energy. Momentum cannot be converted to mass. A is the answer since momentum. When the ball hits the box, the box will move and decreases the velocity of the rock. Here momentum is transferred. <span />

A spool whose inner core has a radius of 1.00 cm and whose end caps have a radius of 1.50 cm has a string tightly wound around t
White raven [17]

Answer:

v₁ = 37.5 cm / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use that angular and linear velocity are related

        v = w r

in the case of the spool the angular velocity for the whole system is constant,

They indicate the linear velocity v₀ = 25.0 cm / s for a radius of r₀ = 1.00 cm,

         w = v₀ /r₀

for the outside of the spool r₁ = 1.5 cm

         w = v₁ / r₁1

since the angular velocity is the same we set the two expressions equal

        \frac{v_o}{r_o} = \frac{v_1}{r_1}

        v1 = \frac{r_1}{r_o} \ \ v_o

let's calculate

       v₁ = \frac{1.50}{1.00} \ \ 25.0

       v₁ = 37.5 cm / s

You are designing an optical fiber scope for directing light into a confined area. You want to keep light within the fiber. Base
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

 For entry of light into tube of unknown refractive index

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sinr = μ , μ is the refractive index of the tube , r is angle of refraction in the medium of tube

r = 90 - C where C is critical angle between μ and body medium in which tube will be inserted.

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sin( 90 - C)  = μ

sin65 / cos C = μ

sinC = 1.33 / μ  , where 1.33 is the refractive index of body liquid.

From these equations

sin65 / cos C = 1.33 / sinC

TanC = 1.33 / sin65

TanC = 1.33 / .9063

TanC = 1.4675

C= 56°

sinC = 1.33 / μ

μ = 1.33 / sinC

= 1.33 / sin56

= 1.33 / .829

μ = 1.6   Ans
