The critical angle between a medium and air is 430. What is the speed of light in that medium?

Physics

Answer:

The speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Explanation:

since the critical angle is Фc = 430, we know that the refractive index is given by:

n = 1/sin(Фc)

  = 1/sin(430)

  = 1.06

then if n is the refractive index of the medium and c is the speed of light, then the speed of light in the medium is given by:

v = c/n

  = (3×10^8)/(1.06)

  = 281907786.2 m/s

Therefore, the speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

The coefficient of static friction between a 3.00 kg crate and the 35.0o incline is 0.300. What minimum force F must be applied
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

So the minimum force is

32.2Newton

Explanation:

To solve for the minimum force, let us assume it to be F (N)

So

F=mgsinA

But

=>>>> coefficient of static friction x (F + mgcosA

=>3 x 9.8 x sin35 = 0.3 x (F + 3 x 9.8 x cos35)

So making F subject of formula

F + 24.0 = 56.2

F = 32.2N

Cynthia forgot to put the fabric softener in the wash. As her socks tumbled in the dryer, they became charged. If a small piece
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

E = 24000 N/C = 24 KN/C

Explanation:

The electric field experienced by a test charge is given by the following formula:

E = \frac{F}{q}\\\\

where,

E = Electric Field = ?

F = Force of attraction = 3 x 10⁻⁶ N

q = Charge on piece of lint = 1.25 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:

E = \frac{3\ x\ 10^{-6}\ N}{1.25\ x\ ^{-10}\ C}\\\\

<u>E = 24000 N/C = 24 KN/C</u>

A pendulum has 918 J of potential energy at the highest point of a swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom of
GREYUIT [131]

The kinetic energy at the bottom of the swing is also 918 J.

Assume the origin of the coordinate system to be at the lowest point of the pendulum's swing. A pendulum, when raised to the highest point has potential energy since it is raised to a height h above the origin. At the highest point, the pendulum's velocity becomes zero, hence it has no kinetic energy. Its energy at the highest point is wholly potential.

When the pendulum swings down from its highest position, it gains velocity. Hence a part of its potential energy begins to convert itself into kinetic energy. If no dissipative forces such as air resistance exist, then, the law of conservation of energy can be applied to the swing.

Under the action of conservative forces, the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant.This means that the sum of the potential and kinetic energies of a body remains constant.

When the pendulum reaches the lowest point of its swing, it is at the origin of the chosen coordinate system. Its vertical displacement from the origin is zero, hence its potential energy with respect to the origin is zero. Therefore the entire potential energy of 918 J should have been converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy.

Thus, the kinetic energy of the pendulum at the lowest point of its swing is equal to the potential energy it had at its highest point, which is equal to <u>918 J.</u>
