A small ball is attached to one end of a rigid rod with negligible mass. The ball and the rod revolve in a horizontal circle wit

h the other end of the rod at the center. The path of the ball has a constant linear speed. The force exerted by the rod is 0.5 N. The centripetal acceleration is 0.5 m/s2 . What is the mass of the ball, in kg?

Answer:

mass of the ball will be 1 kg

Explanation:

We have given force F = 0.5 N

This force must be equal to the centripetal force for the ball to revolve in the circle

So F=F_C=0.5N

Centripetal acceleration is given as a_c=0.5m/sec^2

We have to calculate the mass of the ball

We know that force is given by

F_C=ma_c

So 0.5=m\times 0.5

m = 1 kg

So mass of the ball will be 1 kg

Light travels from medium X into medium Y. Medium Y has a higher index of refraction. Consider each statement below:(i) The ligh
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

 the statement of FALSE
