Answer: light can transmitted through long fiber optic strand as a result of total internal reflection

Explanation:

Total internal reflection occur when a right ray incident at the interface of two less dense media is completely reflected back to a denser medium, as a result of a greater angle than the critical angle.

Optical fibers use total internal reflection to transmit light. Light passing through the inner core of the optical fiber strand is reflected back rather than being refracted to the cladding.

Note: the optic fiber is made of dense solid glass core (the inner) surrounded by less dense cladding (outer)

Suppose the rocket in the Example was initially on a circular orbit around Earth with a period of 1.6 days. Hint (a) What is its

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The orbital speed is $v= 2.6*10^{3} m/s$

The escape velocity of the rocket is $v_e= 3.72 *10^3 m/s$

Explanation:

Generally angular velocity is mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

Where T is the period which is given as 1.6 days = $1.6 *24 *60*60 = 138240 sec$

Substituting the value

$w = \frac{2 \pi}{138240}$

$= 4.54*10^ {-5} rad /sec$

At the point when the rocket is on a circular orbit

The gravitational force = centripetal force and this can be mathematically represented as

$\frac{GMm}{r^2} = mr w^2$

Where G is the universal gravitational constant with a value $G = 6.67*10^{-11}$

M is the mass of the earth with a constant value of $M = 5.98*10^{24}kg$

r is the distance between earth and circular orbit where the rocke is found

Making r the subject

$r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{GM}{w^2} }$

$= \sqrt[3]{\frac{6.67*10^{-11} * 5.98*10^{24}}{(4.45*10^{-5})^2} }$

$= 5.78 *10^7 m$

The orbital speed is represented mathematically as

$v=wr$

Substituting value

$v= (5.78*10^7)(4.54*10^{-5})$

$v= 2.6*10^{3} m/s$

The escape velocity is mathematically represented as

$v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r} }$

Substituting values

$= \sqrt{\frac{2(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{5.78*10^7} }$

$v_e= 3.72 *10^3 m/s$

Chapter 14, Problem 042 A flotation device is in the shape of a right cylinder, with a height of 0.588 m and a face area of 4.19

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The workdone is $W = 9.28 * 10^{3} J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the cylinder is $h = 0.588\ m$

The face Area is $A = 4.19 \ m^2$

The density of the cylinder is $\rho = 0.346 * \rho_w$

Where $\rho_w$ is the density of freshwater which has a constant value

$\rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3$

Now

Let the final height of the device under the water be $= h_f$

Let the initial volume underwater be $= V_n$

Let the initial height under water be $= h_i$

Let the final volume under water be $= V_f$

According to the rule of floatation

The weight of the cylinder = Upward thrust

This is mathematically represented as

$\rho_c g V_n = \rho_w gV_f$

$\rho_c A h = \rho A h_f$

So $\frac{0.346 \rho_w}{\rho_w} = \frac{h_f}{h}$

=> $\frac{h_f}{h_c} = 0.346$

Now the work done is mathematically represented as

$W = \int\limits^{h_f}_{h} {\rho_w g A (-h)} \, dh$

$= \rho_w g A [\frac{h^2}{2} ] \left | h_f} \atop {h}} \right.$

$= \frac{g A \rho}{2} [h^2 - h_f^2]$

$= \frac{g A \rho}{2} (h^2) [1 - \frac{h_f^2}{h^2} ]$

Substituting values

$W = \frac{(9.8 ) (4.19) (10^3)}{2} (0.588)^2 (1 - 0.346)$

$W = 9.28 * 10^{3} J$

Shareen finds that when she drives her motorboat upstream she can travelwith a speed of only 8 m/s, while she moves with a speed

ANEK [815]

Let vb be the velocity of the motorboat and let vs be the velocity of the stream.

We know that when she drives upstream the velocity is 8 m/s, in this scenario the velocities point in opposite directions, then we have the equations:
