Ask Your Teacher A beam of light is incident from air on the surface of a liquid. If the angle of incidence is 33.5° and the ang
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The critical angle for the liquid when surrounded by air is 30 degrees.      

Explanation:

Given that,

The angle of incidence is 33.5° and the angle of refraction is 19.3°. Firstly, we can find the refractive index of the liquid. It can be calculated using Snell's law as :

n=\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}\\\\n=\dfrac{\sin (33.5)}{\sin (19.3)}\\\\n=2

The critical angle is given by :

\theta_c=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n_1}{n_2})

Here, n_1 is refractive index of air and n_2 is refractive index of liquid.

\theta_c=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{2})\\\\\theta_c=30^{\circ}

So, the critical angle for the liquid when surrounded by air is 30 degrees.

What is the speed of a ball thrown from 1.2m above the ground if it travels 13.7m horizontally before hitting the ground
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Explanation:

The trick is to find the time.

If the ball did not travel horizontally at all and was just dropped, how long would it take to hit the ground?

<em>Givens</em>

vi = 0

d = 1.2 m

a = 9.8 m/s^2

<em>Formula</em>

d = vi * t + 1/2 * a ^ t^2

<em>Solution</em>

1.2 = 0*t + 1/2 9.8 * t^2

1.2 = 4.9 t^2

t^2 = 1.2 / 4.9

t^2 = 0.245

sqrt(t^2) = sqrt(.245)

t = 0.4949 seconds

<em>Answer</em>

You are not very clear about which answer you want. There are two of them. One is going horizontally and the other is vertically.

<u>Vertical</u>

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d

vi = 0

a = 9.8

t = 0.4949

vf^2 =0^2 +  2 * 9.8 * 1.2

vf^2 = 23.52

sqrt(vf^2) = sqrt(23.52)

vf = 4.85 m/s

<u>Horizontal</u>

This is likely what you are looking for.

There is 0 acceleration horizontally.

d = 13.5 m

t = 0.4949

s = ?

s = d/t

s = 13.5/0.4949

s = 27.28

<em>Note</em>

You should note a couple of things.

  1. The horizontal and vertical speeds are not the same.
  2. The time is used for both the horizontal and vertical speeds.
  3. The horizontal and vertical distances are quite different.
  4. Horizontal accelerations for these type of questions is generally 0.
