Physics lenses/critical angle question need help ASAP

The answer should be B.

There are 2 conditions for total internal reflection:

Light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically less dense medium.
Angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal) is greater than the critical angle.

For this question, light is travelling from glass to air, so the first condition is fulfilled. Yet, the angle of incidence is only 30°, which is less than the critical angle. Therefore, total internal reflection will not occur.

Instead, there will be refraction. Light ray bends away from normal when it is travelling to a less dense object, thus having a greater angle of refraction than the angle of incidence.

A certain ideal gas has molar heat capacity at constant volume CV. A sample of this gas initially occupies a volume V0 at pressu

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

The processes are described on the image attached below. The isobaric process consists of an horizontal line, the adiabatic expansion is described by a polytropic curve:

$P_{2} \cdot V_{2}^{\gamma} = P_{3} \cdot V_{3}^{\gamma}$

Where:

$\gamma = \frac{c_{p}}{c_{v}}$

$\gamma = 1 + \frac{R}{c_{v}}$

Final pressure is:

$P_{3} = P_{2}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{3}} \right)^{\gamma}$

$P_{3} = P_{o}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\gamma}$

$P_{3} = \frac{P_{o}}{2^{\gamma}}$

With what force will a car hit a tree if the car has a mass of 3,415 kg and it is accelerating at

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

$F= 17,075\ N$

Explanation:

When the car is under an accelerating force and hits a tree, the instant force received by the tree is the same force that is accelerating the car.

The accelerating force can be calculated using Newton's second law:

$F=m\cdot a$

Where m is the mass of the car and a is the acceleration.

$F=3,415\ kg\cdot 5\ m/s^2$

$\boxed{F= 17,075\ N}$

An electron, moving south, enters a uniform magnetic field. Because of this uniform magnetic field, the electron curves upward.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Towards the west

Explanation:

Magnetic force is the interaction between a moving charged particle and a magnetic field.

Magnetic force is given as

F = q (V × B)

Where F is the magnetic force

q is the charge

V is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

V×B means the cross product of the velocity and the magnetic field

NOTE:

i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

So, if the electron is moving southward, then, it implies that the velocity of it motion is southward, so the electron is in the positive z-direction

Also, the electron is curved upward due to the magnetic field, this implies that the force field is directed up in the positive y direction.

Then,

V = V•k

F = F•j

Then, apply the theorem

F •j = q ( V•k × B•x)

Let x be the unknown

From vector k×i =j.

This shows that x = i

Then, the magnetic field point in the direction of positive x axis, which is towards the west

You can as well use the Fleming right hand rule
