Answer:

33.61°

Explanation:

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

v is the velocity in the medium  (2.3 × 10⁸ m/s)

c is the speed of light in air = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

So,  

n = 3.0 × 10⁸ /  2.3 × 10⁸

n = 1.31

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 25.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( ? )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (air, n=1)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (glass, n=1.31)

Hence,  

1.31\times {sin25.0^0}={1}\times{sin\theta_r}

Angle of refraction = sin^{-1}0.5536 = 33.61°

A piece of wire length 30cm and cross sectional area of 0.5mm^2 has a resistance of 5ohms at 20°c. It is then heated to a temper
Grace [21]

Answer:

8.333*10^-6 ohms

Explanation:

Resistivity of a material is expressed as;

p = RA/l

R is the resistance of the material

A is the cross sectional area

l is the length of the material

Given

R = 5 ohms

A = 0.5mm^2

A = 5 * 10^-7m^2

l = 30cm  = 0.3m

Substitute into the formula;

p = (5 *  5 * 10^-7m^2)/0.3

p = 25 * 10^-7/0.3

p = 0.0000025/0.3

p = 8.333*10^-6

Hence its resistivity at 20 degrees Celsius is 8.333*10^-6 ohms

Determine the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar when the velocity of the collar at c is 3.39 m/s and
djverab [1.8K]

The magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar (F)=  8.641 N

<h3>How can we calculate the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar?</h3>

To calculate the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar we are using the formula,

\frac{1}{2} k(x^2_f - x^2_i ) + F\times y + \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} _{c}  = mgy

Here we are given,

k = The spring has a spring constant.

= 25.5 N/m.

x_f = Final length of the spring .

= \sqrt{1.25^2+1.8^2}  -0.60

= 1.591 m

x_i= The initial length of the spring.

= 1.25−0.60

=0.65 m

y=The collar then travels downward a distance.

=  1.80 m.

m= The mass of the collar.

=3.55 kg

v_c = the velocity of the collar.

= 3.39 m/s.

g = The acceleration due to gravity.

= 9.81 m/s²

We have to calculate the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar = F

Now we put the known values in the above equation, we get;

\frac{1}{2} k(x^2_f - x^2_i ) + F\times y + \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} _{c}  = mgy

Or, \frac{1}{2} \times 25.5 \times((1.591)^2 - (0.65)^2 ) + F\times 1.80 + \frac{1}{2}\times 3.55\times (3.39)^{2}  = 3.55\times 9.81\times 1.80

Or, F= 8.641 N

From the above calculation we can conclude that,

The magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar (F)=  8.641 N
