A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +16.7 m/s in a time of 20.7 s.

The combined mass of the boat and trailer is 594 kg. The frictional force acting on the trailer can be ignored. What is the tension in the hitch that connects the trailer to the car?

Answer:

F = 479.21 N

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = 0 m/s

final velocity = 16.7 m/s

time taken = 20.7 s

combined mass of the boat and trailer = 594 kg

tension in the hitch = ?

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

16.7 = 0 + a × 20.7

a = 0.807 m/s²

Force = mass × acceleration

F = 594 × 0.807

F = 479.21 N

Hence, the tension in the hitch that connects the trailer to the car is F = 479.21 N

A 2. 0 μf and a 4. 0 μf capacitor are connected in series across an 8. 0-v dc source. what is the charge on the 2. 0 μf capacito

Nezavi [6.7K]

voltage across 2.0μf capacitor is 5.32v

Given:

C1=2.0μf

C2=4.0μf

since two capacitors are in series there equivalent capacitance will be

[tex] \frac{1}{c} = \frac{1}{c1} + \frac{1}{c2} [/tex]

$c = \frac{c1 \times c2}{c1 + c2}$

$= \frac{2 \times 4}{2 + 4}$

=1.33μf

As the capacitance of a capacitor is equal to the ratio of the stored charge to the potential difference across its plates, giving: C = Q/V, thus V = Q/C as Q is constant across all series connected capacitors, therefore the individual voltage drops across each capacitor is determined by its its capacitance value.

Q=CV

given,V=8v

$= 1.33 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} \times 8$

$= 10.64 \times 10 {}^{ - 6}$

charge on 2.0μf capacitor is

$\frac{Qeq}{2 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} }$

$= \frac{10.64 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} }{2 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} }$

=5.32v

In which medium does light travel faster: one with a critical angle of 27.0° or one with a critical angle of 32.0°? Explain. (Fo

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Among those two medium, light would travel faster in the one with a reflection angle of $32^{\circ}$ (when light enters from the air.)

Explanation:

Let $v_{1}$ denote the speed of light in the first medium. Let $v_{\text{air}}$ denote the speed of light in the air. Assume that the light entered the boundary at an angle of $\theta_{1}$ to the normal and exited with an angle of $\theta_{\text{air}}$ . By Snell's Law, the sine of $\theta_{1}\!$ and $\theta_{\text{air}}\!$ would be proportional to the speed of light in the corresponding medium. In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} = \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}$ .

When light enters a boundary at the critical angle $\theta_{c}$ , total internal reflection would happen. It would appear as if the angle of refraction is now $90^{\circ}$ . (in this case, $\theta_{\text{air}} = 90^{\circ}$ .)

Substitute this value into the Snell's Law equation:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})} \\ &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{c})}{\sin(90^{\circ})} \\ &= \sin(\theta_{c})\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to obtain an expression for the speed of light in the first medium:

$v_{1} = v_{\text{air}} \cdot \sin(\theta_{1})$ .

The speed of light in a medium (with the speed of light slower than that in the air) would be proportional to the critical angle at the boundary between this medium and the air.

For $0 < \theta < 90^{\circ}$ , $\sin(\theta)$ is monotonically increasing with respect to $\theta$ . In other words, for $\!\theta$ in that range, the value of $\sin(\theta)\!$ increases as the value of $\theta\!$ increases.

Therefore, compared to the medium in this question with $\theta_{c} = 27^{\circ}$ , the medium with the larger critical angle $\theta_{c} = 32^{\circ}$ would have a larger $\sin(\theta_{c})$ . such that light would travel faster in that medium.
