Answer:

a) 68.125 KW

b) 43.04 KW

Explanation:

Distance =d= 1 km

Height = h = 200 m

Spacing between chairs =D= 20 m

No. of people per chair = 3

Speed = V= 10 km/h= 10000m\3600 s=2.8 m/s

mass of chair = 250 kg

Work to operate sky lift

W= mgh

Number of chairs any moment operational = N= 1 km/20=1000m/20=50

So, total mass of chairs = 50 × 250 =12500kg

so, w= mgh=12500×9.8×200=2452500 j

Power is rate of work - we need time for operation time of lift

Time= t = distance/speedf= 1km/(10km/h)=1km/(10 km/3600s)=360s

So, Power P= Work/time=w/t=12500/360=68125 j/s=68.125 KW

Now calculating power for operating speed in 5 sec

We calculate accelleration=a for 5 sec

a= speed / time= V/52.8/5=0.28 m/sec2

for vertical acceleration we calculate θ angle first;

tanθ= height /distance= 200/1000= 0.2

==> θ=11.34°

Vertical acceleration = a₁=a sinθ= 0.28× sin 11.34=0.10835 m/sec2

to calculate height gained during startup use;

S=vit+1/2at2

here s=H

vi=0m/s

t=5 sec

==> H = 0+1/2a₁×t=0.5×0.10835 ×5²=0.5×0.10835×5×5=1.362 m

Total Work =mgH+0.5×m×V²=12500(9.8×1.362+0.5×2.8×2.8)=215240.56 j

Again power = work / time=215240.56/5=43048.112 W=43.04 KW

An example of when total internal reflection occurs is when all the light passing from a region of higher index of refraction to
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

is reflected back into the region of higher index

Explanation:

Total internal reflection is a phenomenon that occurs when all the light passing from a region of higher index of refraction to a region of lower index is reflected back into the region of higher index.

According to Snell's law, refraction of ligth is described by the equation

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n1 is the refractive index of the first medium

n2 is the refractive index of the second medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence (in the first medium)

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction (in the second medium)

Let's now consider a situation in which

n_1 > n_2

so light is moving from a medium with higher index to a medium with lower index. We can re-write the equation as

sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1

Where \frac{n_1}{n_2} is a number greater than 1. This means that above a certain value of the angle of incidence \theta_1, the term on the right can become greater than 1. So this would mean

sin \theta_2 > 1

But this is not possible (the sine cannot be larger than 1), so no refraction occurs in this case, and all the light is reflected back into the initial medium (total internal reflection). The value of the angle of incidence above which this phenomen occurs is called critical angle, and it is given by

\theta_c =sin^{-1}(\frac{n_2}{n_1})

Why is the linear coefficient of thermal expansion important for a restorative material?
iren2701 [21]

Additionally, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the restorative material should be comparable to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the tooth structure, since a significant difference between the two could result in thermal-induced stress at the cavity wall and subsequent marginal failure.

This study's objective was to assess how thermal stress affected the marginal integrity of restorative materials with various adhesive and thermal characteristics. As an alternative to clinical trials, which are expensive and time-consuming, evaluation of restorative materials under laboratory simulations of clinical function is frequently carried out. Thermal cycling regimens, which are in vitro techniques that subject the restoration and the tooth to extremely high temperatures, are frequently used in laboratory simulations to replicate thermal stresses that naturally occur in vivo.
