True [87]3 years ago

Answer:

when the ray passes from ice to perspex it must approach the normal

Explanation:

This is an exercise in refraction of light, the process is governed by the expression

      n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where we use index 1 for the incident medium and subscript 2 for the scattered medium.

In our case, medium 1 is ice with the lowest refractive index.

           sin θ₁ = n₂ / n₁   sin θ₂

To fulfill this equation, if the ray travels through the medium 1 ice with an angle θ₁, the angle in the medium 2 perspex must be smaller so that the sine is smaller, so when the ray passes from ice to perspex it must approach the normal

A 24 cm radius aluminum ball is immersed in water. Calculate the thrust you suffer and the force. Knowing that the density of al
Illusion [34]

Answer:

W =1562.53 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the aluminium ball, r = 24 cm = 0.24 m

The density of Aluminium, d=2698.4\ kg/m^3

We need to find the thrust and the force. The mass of the liquid displaced is given by :

m=dV

V is volume

Weight of the displaced liquid

W = mg

W=dVg

So,

W=dg\times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\W=2698.4\times 10\times \dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi \times (0.24)^3\\\\W=1562.53\ N

So, the thrust and the force is 1562.53 N.

A 126- kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.70 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1800-kg space capsul
jeka94

The change in the speed of the space capsule will be -0.189 m/s.

The average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the astronaut, m_a = 126 kg

Speed he acquires, v_{a}  = 2.70 m/s

Mass of the space capsule, m_{c} = 1800kg

The initial momentum of the astronaut-capsule system is zero due to rest.

P_f = m_av_a + m_cv_c

P_I = 0

m_av_a + m_cv_c = 0

v_c =\frac{- m_a v_a}{m_c}}\\\\

   = \frac{126* 2.70}{1800}

   = - 0.189 m/s

Therefore,

According, to the impulse-momentum theorem;

FΔt = ΔP

ΔP = m Δv

ΔP = 126×2.70

    = 340.2 kgm/sec

t is time interval = 0.600s

F = ΔP/Δt

F = 340.2/0.600

  = 567 N

Therefore, the average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The Kinetic Energy of the astronaut;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

     = \frac{1}{2} × 126 × (2.70) ^2

     = 459.27 J

The Kinetic Energy of the capsule;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

     = \frac{1}{2}×1800×(0.189) ^2

     = 32.14 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

Which statement describes how the photoelectric effect causes an electric
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A. Light acts as particles, causing electrons on the surface it strikes to be destroyed.

Explanation:

  • The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that occurs when light shined onto a metal surface causes the ejection of electrons from that metal. It was observed that only certain frequencies of light are able to cause the ejection of electrons.
