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)

In which of the following cases is work being done on an object? Question 2 options: Pulling a trailer up a hill Carrying a box
Taya2010 [7]

Work is done when a force acts on an object AND the object moves in the direction of the force.

-- <em>Pulling a trailer up a hill.  YES. </em> The trailer is moving in the direction of the pulling force.  

-- Carrying a box down a corridor.  No. The box is not moving in the direction of gravity (down) OR in the direction of your arm (down the corridor).

-- Suspending a heavy weight with a strong chain,  No.  There's a force (gravity) acting on the weight, but the weight is not moving at all.

-- Pushing against a locked door.  No.  There's a force (your muscles) acting on the door, but he door is not moving at all.

The driver of a train moving at 23m/s applies the breaks when it pases an amber signal. The next signal is 1km down the track an
pochemuha

Answer:

3.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 1000 m

v₀ = 23 m/s

a = -0.26 m/s²

t = 76 s

Find: v

This problem is over-defined.  We only need 3 pieces of information, and we're given 4.  There are several equations we can use.  For example:

v = at + v₀

v = (-0.26 m/s²) (76 s) + (23 m/s)

v = 3.2 m/s

Or:

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

(1000 m) = ½ (v + 23 m/s) (76 s)

v = 3.3 m/s

Or:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (23 m/s)² + 2(-0.26 m/s²)(1000 m)

v = 3.0 m/s

Or:

Δx = vt − ½ at²

(1000 m) = v (76 s) − ½ (-0.26 m/s²) (76 s)²

v = 3.3 m/s

As you can see, you get slightly different answers depending on which variables you use.  Since 1000 m has 1 significant figure, compared to the other variables which have 2 significant figures, I recommend using the first equation.

A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly until it has traveled 5.6 km and acquired a forward velocity of The train the
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

c) 0.16 m/s2

Explanation:

The computation of the acceleration during the first km of travel is shown below

Given that

Final velocity = v = 42 m/s

Initial velocity = u = 0 m/s

Distance = 5.6km

Based on the above information, we need to apply the following formula

As we know that

v^2 - u^2 = 2as

a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s}

= \dfrac{42^2 - 0^2}{2 \times 5.6 \times \frac{1000\ m}{1\ km} }

= 0.1575 m/s ^2

hence, the correct option is c. 0.16 m.s^2
