When passing from a low index of refraction medium to a high index of refraction medium which way does the refracted ray bend: t

oward the normal or away? Explain.
Physics
1 answer:
Vaselesa [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

toward the normal

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.  

When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular (normal) as its speed reduces in that medium.

Two metal disks, one with radius R1 = 2.45 cm and mass M1 = 0.900 kg and the other with radius R2 = 5.00 cm and mass M2 = 1.60 k
natima [27]

Answer:

part (a) a_1\ =\ 2.9\ kg

Part (b) a_2\ =\ 6.25\ kg

Explanation:

Given,

  • mass of the smaller disk = M_1\ =\ 0.900\ kg
  • Radius of the smaller disk = R_1\ =\ 2.45\ cm\ =\ 0.0245\ m
  • mass of the larger disk = M_2\ =\ 1.6\ kg
  • Radius of the larger disk =R_2\ =\ 5.0\ cm\ =\ 0.05\ m
  • mass of the hanging block = m = 1.60 kg

Let I be the moment of inertia of the both disk after the welding,\therefore I\ =\ I_1\ +\ I_2\\\Rightarrow I\ =\ \dfrac{1}{2}(M_1R_1^2\ +\ M_2R_2^2)\\\Rightarrow I\ =\ 0.5\times (0.9\times 0.0245^2\ +\ 1.6\times 0.05^2)\\\Rightarrow I\ =\ 2.27\times 10^{-3}\ kgm^2

part (a)

A block of mass m is hanging on the smaller disk,

From the f.b.d. of the block,

Let 'a' be the acceleration of the block and 'T' be the tension in the string.

mg\ -\ T\ =\ mg\\\Rightarrow T\ =\ mg\ -\ ma\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,eqn (1)

Net torque on the smaller disk,

\therefore \tau\ =\ I\alpha\\\Rightarrow TR_1\ =\ \dfrac{Ia}{R_1}\\\Rightarrow T\ =\ \dfrac{Ia}{R_1^2}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,enq (2)

From eqn (1) and (2), we get,

mg\ -\ ma\ =\ \dfrac{Ia}{R_1^2}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ \dfrac{mg}{\dfrac{I}{R_1^2}\ +\ m}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ \dfrac{1.60\times 9.81}{\dfrac{2.27\times 10^{-3}}{0.027^2}\ +\ 1.60}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ 2.91\ m/s^2

part (b)

In this case the mass is rapped on the larger disk,

From the above expression of the acceleration of the block, acceleration is only depended on the radius of the rotating disk,

Let 'a_2' be the acceleration of the block in the second case,

From the above expression,

\therefore a\ =\ \dfrac{mg}{\dfrac{I}{R_1^2}\ +\ m}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ \dfrac{1.60\times 9.81}{\dfrac{2.27\times 10^{-3}}{0.05^2}\ +\ 1.60}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ 6.25\ m/s^2

three girls were pushing the same car with a net force of 450 N [N48°E]. Two of the girls were pushing with forces of 310 N [N25
ElenaW [278]

The net force is the vector

∑ F = (450 N) (cos(42°) i + sin(42°) j)

and two of the forces provided by the girls are

F₁ = (310 N) (cos(115°) i + sin(115°) j)

F₂ = (250 N) (cos(285°) i + sin(285°) j)

Then the force provided by the third girl is the vector

F₃ = ∑ F - F₁ - F₂

F₃ = ((450 N) cos(42°) - (310 N) cos(115°) - (250 N) cos(285°)) i

… … … + ((450 N) sin(42°) - (310 N) sin(115°) - (250 N) sin(285°)) j

F₃ ≈ (400.722 N) i + (261.635 N) j

So, the third girl provided a force of magnitude

||F₃|| = √((400.722 N)² + (261.635 N)²) ≈ 478.572 N ≈ 480 N

pointing in a direction

arctan((261.635 N)/(400.722 N)) ≈ 33.1409° ≈ 33°

relative to East which refers to 0°; that is, 33° N of E or E33°N. Since the other forces are given relative to North or South, we can write this direction as N57°E.

So, the third girl pushed with force 480 N [N57°E].
