Answer:

His weight on Earth is 1097.6N

Explanation:

You have to apply Newton's Second Law, F = m×a where F is force, m is mass and a is accerleration. Then, you have to substitute the following values into the equation :

f = m \times a

Let m = 112kg,

Let a = 9.8m/s²,

f = 112 \times 9.8

f = 1097.6

Given a 45 45 90 prism with index of 1.5, immersed in air. The hypotenuse acts as the reflecting face by TIR. A ray of light ent
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

83.6°

Explanation:

For the ray to be totally internally reflected, at the boundary, the angle of refraction is 90. Using the law of refraction where

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂ where n₁ = refractive index of prism = 1.5, θ₁ = critical angle in prism, n₂ = refractive index of air = 1 and θ₂ = refractive angle = 90°.

So, substituting these values into the equation,

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

1.5 × sinθ₁ = 1 × sin90

1.5 × sinθ₁  = 1

sinθ₁ = 1/1.5

sinθ₁ = 0.6667

θ₁  = sin*(0.6667)

θ₁  = 41.8°

So, for total internal reflection, an incidence angle of 41.8° is required. So, a full convergence angle of 2 × 41.8° = 83.6° is required for the whole bundle of rays.

Two blocks of masses m and M are connected by a string and pass over a frictionless pulley. Mass m hangs vertically, and mass M
horsena [70]

Answer:

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = \frac{m}{M}

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = 1

Explanation:

Force of friction on M mass so that it will move down the inclined plane is given as

F_f = \mu Mgcos\theta

now if it is moving down the inclined plane at constant speed

so we will have

Mgsin\theta - T - \mu mgcos\theta = 0

on other side the mass "m" will go up at constant speed

so we have

T - mg = 0

so we have

Mgsin\theta = \mu Mgcos\theta + mg

so we have

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = \frac{m}{M}

for special case when m = M

then we have

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = 1

There are four springs stretched by the same mass.
brilliants [131]

Spring C stretches 100 cm.

Explanation:

The spring constant is simply the stiffness of the spring. The higher the spring constant the more stiff the spring is.

Spring constant shows the force needed to stretch a spring from it's equilibrium position. If a material requires more force to cause it to stretch, it will have a high spring constant.

          According to hooke's law "the force needed to extended an elastic material is directly proportional to its extension"

          F = ke

   k is the spring constant

   e is the extension

We see that the spring that stretches by 100 is the less stiff compared to other springs. It has the smallest spring constant.
