Is F=mxa expressed in equation in newtons second law of motion?

1 answer:

6 0

Yes. That equation is exactly how we write Newton's second law nowadays. Note that the 'x' just means 'times'. It's not another variable. The equation could be written as simply. F = m a .

A laser beam is incident at an angle of 30.2° to the vertical onto a solution of corn syrup in water. (a) If the beam is refract

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) n2 = 1.55

b) 408.25 nm

c) 4.74*10^14 Hz

d) 1.93*10^8 m/s

Explanation:

a) To find the index of refraction of the syrup solution you use the Snell's law:

$n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2$ (1)

n1: index of refraction of air

n2: index of syrup solution

angle1: incidence angle

angle2: refraction angle

You replace the values of the parameter in (1) and calculate n2:

$n_2=\frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}=\frac{(1)(sin30.2\°)}{sin18.82\°}=1.55$

b) To fond the wavelength in the solution you use:

$\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}\\\\\lambda_2=\lambda_1\frac{n_1}{n_2}=(632.8nm)\frac{1.00}{1.55}=408.25nm$

c) The frequency of the wave in the solution is:

$v=\lambda_2 f_2\\\\f_2=\frac{v}{\lambda_2}=\frac{c}{n_2\lambda_2}=\frac{3*10^8m/s}{(1.55)(408.25*10^{-9}m)}=4.74*10^{14}\ Hz$

d) The speed in the solution is given by:

$v=\frac{c}{n_2}=\frac{3*10^8m/s}{1.55}=1.93*10^8m/s$

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?

Studentka2010 [4]

Kinetic energy is the energy applied or present in a moving object. According to Newton's second law of motion the magnitude of acceleration of an object is proportional to the magnitude of the net force but inversely proportional to its mass. So the Kinetic Energy of a moving car of small vehicle is greater than the large vehicle if both are applied with the same net force. The greater the Kinetic Energy the longer the stopping distance
