When light enters a piece of glass from air with an angle of θ with respect to the normal to the boundary surface?

1 answer:

7 0

I think the light bends with an angle smaller than θ with respect to the normal to the boundary surface. this is because glass has a higher index of refraction than air, therefore; the refracted ray will bend towards the normal in the glass.
When light enters a material with higher refractive index, the angle of refraction will be smaller than the angle of incidence and the light will be refracted towards the normal of the surface.

A block of mass m=16.8 kg is sliding on a surface with initial velocity v=23.2 m/s. The block has a coefficient of kinetic frict

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

t = 23.92 s

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration (m/s²)

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the block and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

Forces acting on the block

W: Weight of the block : In vertical direction, downward

FN : Normal force : perpendicular to the floor, upward

fk : Kinetic friction force: parallel to the floor and opposite to the movement

F = 86.4 N , in the direction of the motion

Calculated of the W

W= m*g

W= 16.8 kg* 9.8 m/s² = 164.64 N

Calculated of the FN

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay ay = 0

FN - W = 0

FN = W

FN = 164.64 N

Calculated of the fk

fk = μk*FN

fk = 0.426* 164.64 N

fk = 70.13 N

We apply the formula (1) to calculated acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*ax , ax= a : acceleration of the block

F - fk = m*a

86.4 -70.13 = (16.8)*(-a)

16.26 = (16.8)*(-a)

a = -(16.26 )/ (16.8)

a = - 0.97 m/s²

Kinematics of the block

Because the block moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula :

vf = v₀ + a*t Formula (2)

Where:

t: time interval (m)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

vf: final speed (m/s)

Data:

v₀ = 23.2 m/s

vf = 0

a = -0.97 m/s²

Time it takes for the block to stop

We replace data in the formula (2) to calculate the time

vf= v₀+a*t

0 = 23.2+( -0.97)*t

(0.97)*t = 23.2

t = 23.2 / (0.97)

t = 23.92 s

Two rocks weighing 5 Newtons and 10 Newtons are dropped simultaneously from the same height onto a Coyote. After three seconds o

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

<h2>Potential energy lost by 10 N rock will be greater</h2>

Explanation:

Two rocks of 5N and 10N falls from the same height . Thus they will loose the potential energy.

The potential energy lost = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

The potential energy lost by first 5 N rock = 5 h

Because weight of rock m g = 5 N

Similarly , the potential energy lost by 10 N Rock = 10 h

here weight of rock m g = 10 N

Thus comparing these two , the potential energy lost by 10 N rock is greater than that of 5 N rock .

An athlete whose mass is 87.0 kg is performing weight-lifting exercises. Starting from the rest position, he lifts, with constan

expeople1 [14]

Answer: X = 52,314.12 N

Explanation: Let X be the force the feet of the athlete exerts on the floor.

According to newton's third law of motion the floor gives an upward reaction based on the weight of the athlete and the barbell which is known as the normal reaction ( based on the mass of the athlete and the barbell)

Mass of athlete = 87kg, mass of barbell = 600/ hence total normal reaction from the floor = 87* 61.22/ 9.8 *9.8 = 52,200N.

The athlete lifts the barbell from rest thus making it initial velocity u=0, distance covered = S = 0.65m and the time taken = 1.3s

The acceleration of the barbell is gotten by using the equation of constant acceleration motion

S= ut + 1/2at²

But u = 0

S = 1/2at²

0.65 = 1/2 *a (1.3)²

0.65 = 1.69 * a/2

0.65 * 2 = 1.69 * a

a = 0.65 * 2/ 1.69

a = 0.77m/s²

According to newton's second law of motion

Resultant force = mass * acceleration

And resultant force in this case is

X - 52,200 = (87 + 61.22) * 0.77

X - 52,200 = 148.22 * 0.77

X - 52, 200 = 114.132

X = 114.132 + 52,200

X = 52,314.12 N
