What happens to the speed of water waves as it enters a shallow medium .

A woman can row a boat at 5.60 km/h in still water. (a) If she is crossing a river where the current is 2.80 km/h, in what direc

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a) θ=210°, b) t=1.155hr, c) t=1.333hr, d) t=1.333hr, e) θ=180° (straight across), f) t=1hr.

Explanation:

So, the very first thing we nee to do when solving this problem is draw a diagram that represents it. In the attached picture I show a diagram for each part of this problem.

part a)

So, for her to move in a direction directly opposite her starting point, the x-component of her velocity must be de same as the velocity of the river in the opposite direction. We can use this fact to find the angle we need. If we analize the triangle I drew in the diagram, we can ses that:

$cos \theta = \frac {V_{river}}{V_{boat}}$

When solving for theta, we get that:

$\theta =cos^{-1} ( \frac {V_{river}}{V_{boat}})$

so now we can substitute the corresponding values:

$\theta =cos^{-1} ( \frac {2.80km/hr}{5.60km/hr}})$

Which yields:

$\theta = 60^{o}$

but we are measuring the angle relative to the line perpendicular to the river, positive if down the river. So we need to subtract the angle from 270° so we get:

θ=270°-60°=210°

part b)

for part b, we need to find what the y-component for the velocity of the boat is for an angle of 210° as shown in the problem, so we get that:

$V_{y}=5.60km/hr*cos(210^{o})$

$V_{y}=-4.85km/hr$

The woman will head in a negative 5.60km distance from one side to the other, so we get that the time it takes her to go to the other side of the river is:

$t=\frac{y}{V_{y}}$

$t=\frac{5.60km}{4.85km/hr}=1.155hr$

part c)

In order to find the time it takes her to travel 2.80km down and up the river, we need to find the velocities she will have in both directions. First, down stream:

$V_{ds}=V_{river}+V{boat}$

$V_{ds}=2.80km/hr+5.60km/hr=8.40km/hr$

and now up stream:

$V_{us}=V_{boat}-V{river}$

$V_{us}=5.60km/hr-2.80km/hr=2.80km/hr$

Once we got these two velocities we will now need to find the time to take each trip:

time down stream:

$t_{ds}=\frac{x}{v_{ds}}$

$t_{ds}=\frac{2.80km}{8.40km/hr}=0.333hr$

and the time up stream:

$t_{us}=\frac{x}{v_{us}}$

$t_{us}=\frac{2.80km}{2,80km/hr}=1hr$

so the total time will be:

$t_{ds}+t_{us}=0.333hr+1hr=1.333hr$

d) the time it takes the boat to go upstream and then downstream for the same distance is the same as the time we got on part c, since both times will be the same but they will come in different order, but their sum will be just the same:

t=1.333hr

e) For her to cross the river faster, she must row in a 180° direction (this is in a direction straight accross the river) that way she will use all her velocity to move across the river. (Even though she will move a certain distance horizontally and will not reach a point opposite to the starting point.)

f) In order to find the time it takes her to get to the other side, we need to divide the distance into the velocity of the boat.

$t=\frac{d}{v_{boat}}$

$t=\frac{5.60km}{5.60km/hr}$

so

t= 1hr

A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is $\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence is $\theta _ i = 56^o$

The refractive index of violet light in diamond is $n_v = 2.46$

The refractive index of red light in diamond is $n_r = 2.41$

The wavelength of violet light is $\lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m$

The wavelength of red light is $\lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m$

Snell's Law can be represented mathematically as

$\frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n$

Where $\theta_r$ is the angle of refraction

=> $sin \theta_r = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}$

Now considering violet light

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}$

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = 0.337$

$\theta_r__{v}} = sin ^{-1} (0.337)$

$\theta_r__{v}} = 19.69^o$

Now considering red light

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}$

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = 0.344$

$\theta_r__{R}} = sin ^{-1} (0.344)$

$\theta_r__{R}} = 20.12^o$

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} - \theta_r__{V}}$

substituting values

$\Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69$

$\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

A merry-go-round of radius R, shown in the figure, is rotating at constant angular speed. The friction in its bearings is so sma

mel-nik [20]

The angular speed of the merry-go-round reduced more as the sandbag is

placed further from the axis than increasing the mass of the sandbag.

The rank from largest to smallest angular speed is presented as follows;

[m = 10 kg, r = 0.25·R]

${}$ ⇩

[m = 20 kg, r = 0.25·R]

${}$ ⇩

[m = 10 kg, r = 0.5·R]

${}$ ⇩

[m = 10 kg, r = 0.5·R] = [m = 40 kg, r = 0.25·R]

${}$ ⇩

[m = 10 kg, r = 1.0·R]

Reasons:

The given combination in the question as obtained from a similar question online are;

1: m = 20 kg, r = 0.25·R

2: m = 10 kg, r = 1.0·R

3: m = 10 kg, r = 0.25·R

4: m = 15 kg, r = 0.75·R

5: m = 10 kg, r = 0.5·R

6: m = 40 kg, r = 0.25·R

According to the principle of conservation of angular momentum, we have;

$I_i \cdot \omega _i = I_f \cdot \omega _f$

The moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, $I_m$ = 0.5·M·R²

Moment of inertia of the sandbag = m·r²

Therefore;

0.5·M·R²· $\omega _i$ = (0.5·M·R² + m·r²)· $\omega _f$

Given that 0.5·M·R²· $\omega _i$ is constant, as the value of m·r² increases, the value of $\omega _f$ decreases.

The values of m·r² for each combination are;

Combination 1: m = 20 kg, r = 0.25·R; m·r² = 1.25·R²

Combination 2: m = 10 kg, r = 1.0·R; m·r² = 10·R²

Combination 3: m = 10 kg, r = 0.25·R; m·r² = 0.625·R²

Combination 4: m = 15 kg, r = 0.75·R; m·r² = 8.4375·R²

Combination 5: m = 10 kg, r = 0.5·R; m·r² = 2.5·R²

Combination 6: m = 40 kg, r = 0.25·R; m·r² = 2.5·R²

Therefore, the rank from largest to smallest angular speed is as follows;

Combination 3 > Combination 1 > Combination 5 = Combination 6 >

Combination 2

Which gives;

[m = 10 kg, r = 0.25·R] > [m = 20 kg, r = 0.25·R] > [m = 10 kg, r = 0.5·R] > [m =

10 kg, r = 0.5·R] = [m = 40 kg, r = 0.25·R] > [m = 10 kg, r = 1.0·R].
