A light ray travels in the +x direction and strikes a slanted surface with an angle of 62° between its normal and the ty axis. T

he surface is a clear solid with an index of refraction 1.33. What is the x component of the direction of the resulting reflected light ray?

Answer:

- 0.6

Explanation:

Given that angle between normal y axis is 62° so angle between normal

and x axis will be 90- 62 = 28 °. Since incident ray is along x axis , 28 ° will be the angle between incident ray and normal ie it will be angle of incidence

Angle of incidence = 28 °

angle of reflection = 28°

Angle between incident ray and reflected ray = 28 + 28 = 56 °

Angle between x axis and reflected ray = 56 °

x component of reflected ray

= - cos 56 ( it will be towards - ve x axis. )

You are driving your 1700 kg car at 21 m/s down a hill with a 5.0∘ slope when a deer suddenly jumps out onto the roadway. You sl

Answer:

d = 27.7 m

Explanation:

Here the car is driving on the inclined plane

So here we can say that work done by the gravity and work done by friction is equal to change in kinetic energy of the system

So here we can write it as

$mgsin\theta \times d - F_f \times d = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

now we have

m = 1700 kg

$v_f = 0$

$v_i = 21 m/s$

$F_f = 1.5 \times 10^4 N$

$(1700)(9.81)sin5 (d) - (1.5\times 10^4)d = 0 - \frac{1}{2}(1700)(21^2)$

$1453.5 d - (1.5\times 10^4)d = -374850$

$d = 27.7 m$

suter [353]

The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.

Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.

Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.

I'm sorry if that seems complicated. You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.

A single insulated duct flow experiment using air operating at steady-state is performed in a lab. One measurement location (Sta

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a) -0.0934 kJ/kg. K

b) The direction of flow is from right to left.

Explanation:

A free flow diagram of the horizontal insulated duct is as shown below.

NOW,

Let assume that the direction of flow is from left to right and consider the following relation for the entropy rate balance equation for a control volume as:

$\frac{\sigma_{cv}}{m}= (s_2-s_1) \geq 0 \ \ \ -------> \ \ \ 1$

Now; if the value for this relation is greater than zero; then we conclude that our assumption is correct.

If the value is less than zero; then we conclude that the assumption is wrong.

Then, the flow is said to be in the opposite direction

Formula for the change in specific entropy can be calculated as:

$s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) - s^0(T_1)-R \ In ( \frac{P_2}{P-1}) \ \ \ -------> \ \ \ 2$

where;

$s_1, s_2 , s^0(T_2), s^0(T1)$ are specific entropies

R = universal gas constant

$P_1$ = pressure at location 1

$P_2$ = pressure at location 2

We obtain the specific properties of air at temperature at $T_1$ = (67°C + 273)K = 340 K from the table A-22 ( Ideal gas properties of air)

$s^0(T1)$ = 1.8279 kJ/kg.K

We also obtain the specific properties of air at temperature $T_2$ = 22°C + 273) K = 295 K

From the table A- 22

$s^0(T_2)$ = 1.68515 kJ/kg . K

R = $\frac{8.314 kJ}{28.97 kg.K}$

$P_1 =$ 0.95 bar

$P_2 =$ 0.8 bar

Now replacing our values into equation (2) from above; we have;

$s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) -s^0(T_1)-R \ In (\frac{P_2}{P_1} )$

$s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279-\frac{8.314}{28.97} \ In (\frac{0.8}{0.95} )$

$s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279+ 0.0493$

$s_2-s_1 =-0.0934 \ kJ/kg.K$

Equating our result to equation (1)

$s_2-s_1 \geq 0\\-0.0934 \leq 0$

Therefore , our assumption is wrong and the direction of flow is said to be from right to left.

We therefore conclude that the direction of flow is from right to left.
