In a physics lab, light with wavelength 490 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in 17.0 ns. When a slab of glass 0.840

m thick is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light 21.2 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell. What is the wavelength of the light in the glass?

Answer:196 nm

Explanation:

Given

wavelength \lambda =490 nm

time required by laser to travel in air t_1=17 ns

slab thickness t=0840 m

time requires by laser to travel t_2=21.2 ns

so it takes 21.2-17=4.2 ns more in glass slab

suppose n is the refractive index of glass

\frac{0.84}{\frac{c}{n}}-\frac{0.84}{c}=4.2

0.84(n-1)=4.2\times 3\times 10^{-9}\times 10^{8}

n-1=1.5

n=2.5

Wavelength of light in Glass=\frac{\lambda _{air}}{n}

=\frac{490}{2.5}=196 nm

I). Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

false statement : b )  For the motion of a cart on an incline plane having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5, the magnitude of the change in kinetic energy equals the magnitude of the change in gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = constant

differentiating both side

Δ potential energy + Δ kinetic energy = 0

Δ potential energy = -  Δ kinetic energy

first statement is true.

Friction is a non conservative force so inter-conversion of potential and kinetic energy is not possible in that case. In case of second  option,  the correct relation is as follows

change in gravitational potential energy = change in kinetic energy + work done against friction .

So given 2 nd  option is incorrect.

In case of no change in gravitational energy , work done is equal to

change in kinetic energy.

S.I. Units Ampere is use for what? ​
lawyer [7]

The ampere (symbol: A) is the SI base unit of electric current equal to one coulomb per second.

The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross section, and placed 1 meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 times 10–7 newton per meter of length.

Electric current is the time rate of change or displacement of electric charge.

One ampere represents the rate of 1 coulomb of charge per second.

The ampere is defined first (it is a base unit, along with the meter, the second, and the kilogram), without reference to the quantity of charge.

The unit of charge, the coulomb, is defined to be the amount of charge displaced by a one ampere current in the time of one second.

This is your answer friend. Hope it helps you.

A 25kg box in released on a 27° incline and accelerates down the incline at 0.3 m/s2. Find the friction force impending its moti
Crank

Answer:

a)  μ = 0.475 , b)   μ = 0.433

Explanation:

a) For this exercise of Newton's second law, we create a reference system with the x-axis parallel to the plane and the y-axis perpendicular to it

X axis

     Wₓ - fr = m a

the friction force has the expression

     fr = μ N

y Axis

     N - W_{y} = 0

let's use trigonometry for the components the weight

     sin 27 = Wₓ / W

     Wₓ = W sin 27

     cos 27 = W_{y} / W

     W_{y} = W cos 27

     N = W cos 27

     W sin 27 - μ W cos 27 = m a

     mg sin 27 - μ mg cos 27 = m a

      μ = (g sin 27 - a) / (g cos 27)

      very = tan 27 - a / g sec 27

      μ = 0.510 - 0.0344

      μ = 0.475

b) now the block starts with an initial speed of 3m / s. In Newton's second law velocity does not appear, so this term does not affect the result, the change in slope does affect the result

         μ = tan 25 - 0.3 / 9.8 sec 25

         μ = 0.466 -0.03378

         μ = 0.433
