Answer:

$49.7^{\circ}$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

n1 = 1.33 is the index of refraction of the first medium (water)

n2 = 1.00 is the index of refraction of the second medium (air)

$\theta_1 = 35^{\circ}$ is the angle of incidence of the wave in water

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction of the wave in air

Solving for the angle of refraction,

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1 sin \theta_1}{n_2}=\frac{(1.33) sin 35^{\circ}}{1.00}=0.763\\\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (0.763)=49.7^{\circ}$

Explanation:

I think it will increase a little bit ... just image ... if the temperature is 0, the velocity will be 0 too. because the vibration of atom is so weak and the sound cant progation.

Calculate the translational speed of a cylinder when it reaches the foot of an incline 7.05 mm high. Assume it starts from rest

mestny [16]

Height is 7.05 m and not 7.05 mm

Answer:

9.603 m/s

Explanation:

We are dealing with rotation, so velocity of centre of mass is given by;

v_cm = Rω

Since we are working with a solid cylinder, moment of inertia of the cylinder is; I = ½mR²

Since it is rolled from the top to the bottom, at the top it will have potential energy(mgh) while at the bottom it will have kinetic energy (rotational plus translational kinetic energy).

Using conservation of energy, we have:

P.E = K.E_t + K.E_r

Formula for rotational and kinetic energy here are;

K.E_t = ½mv²

K.E_r = ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

Since we want to find translational speed(v), let's get rid of ω.

Earlier, we saw that v_cm = Rω

Thus; ω = v/R

Also, we know that I = ½mR².

Thus;

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

This gives;

mgh = ½mv² + ¼mv²

Divide through by m to get;

gh = v²(½ + ¼)

gh = ¾v²

Making v the subject gives;

v = √(4gh/3)

v = √((4 × 9.81 × 7.05)/3)

v = 9.603 m/s

What is the potential energy of a 3kg ball that is on the ground?

ELEN [110]

This is where we have to admit that gravitational potential energy is
one of those things that depends on the "frame of reference", or
'relative to what?'.

Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height).

So you have to specify height above what .

-- With respect to the ground, the ball has zero potential energy.
(If you let go of it, it will gain zero kinetic energy as it falls to
the ground.)

-- With respect to the floor in your basement, the potential energy is

(3) x (9.8) x (3 meters) = 88.2 joules.

(If you let go of it, it will gain 88.2 joules of kinetic energy as it falls
to the floor of your basement.)

-- With respect to the top of that 10-meter hill over there, the potential
energy is
(3) x (9.8) x (-10) = -294 joules

(Its potential energy is negative. After you let go of it, you have to give it
294 joules of energy that it doesn't have now, in order to lift it to the top of
the hill where it will have zero potential energy.)

What are the characteristics of image when object is between f1 and 2f1 for concave lense?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

The required diagram is shown in the figure. When an object is placed in front of the convex lens, i.e., between 2F

and F

, its image is formed beyond 2F

on the other side of the lens. The image is real, inverted and enlarged.

A scientist heats up a container full of neon gas. What will most likely happen to the container as the gas heats up?

Vlad [161]

Since neon atoms move quickly, it would shrink.
