Answer: C and D

Explanation: One of the first rule for total internal reflection to occur is that the ray must move from a dense to a less dense medium, hence refractive index of medium a must be greater than that of b.

When a ray moves from a dense to a less dense medium, the refracted ray moves away from the normal thus increasing the size of the angle of refraction (total internal refraction occurs when the angle of refraction is 90° and the angle of incidence at this point is known as the critical angle), hence the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.

These points verifies option C and D

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T (1)

Where:

P - Pressure.

V - Volume.

n - Molar quantity, in moles.

R_{u} - Ideal gas constant.

T - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2} (2)

If we know that \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}, then the resulting pressure of the system is:

P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)

P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Find the torque required for the shaft to transmit 40 kW when (a) The shaft speed is 2500 rev/min. (b) The shaft speed is 250 re
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

(a) 152.85 Nm

(b) 1528.5 Nm

Explanation:

According to the formula of power

P = τ ω

ω = 2 π f

(a) f = 2500 rpm = 2500 / 60 = 41.67 rps

So, 40 x 1000 = τ x 2 x 3.14 x 41.67

τ = 152.85 Nm

(b) f = 250 rpm = 250 / 60 = 4.167 rps

So, 40 x 1000 = τ x 2 x 3.14 x 4.167

τ = 1528.5 Nm

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity at Pluto is 0.0597 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Length, L = 1 m

10 oscillations in 257 seconds

Time period, T = 257/10 = 25.7 s

Let the acceleration due to gravity is g.

Use the formula of time period of simple pendulum

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\\25.7 = 2 \times 31.4\sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}\\\\g = 0.0597 m/s^2

A car is pushed with a force of 450 N for 19.4 seconds. What impulse was applied to the car?​
harina [27]

Answer:

impulse = 8820 kg·\frac{m}{s} or 8820 N·s

Explanation:

Impulse J is equal to the average force F_{av} multiplied by the elapsed time Δt or in equation form, J = F_{av}Δt

As long as your force of 450 N is constant then that value is your average force F_{av} and your elapsed time is 19.4 seconds.

Multiply these values.

You will get an impulse of 8820 kg·\frac{m}{s} or 8820 N·s.
