Answer:
13.6 cm
Explanation:
From Snell's law:
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.
Given n₂ = 4/3:
1 = 4/3 sin θ
sin θ = 3/4
If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:
sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)
sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)
Substituting:
3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)
9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)
9/16 x² + 81 = x²
81 = 7/16 x²
x ≈ 13.6
Answer:
a)
, b) 
Explanation:
The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:



Where
is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:


Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:
a) t = 50 s.


b) t = 100 s.
Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:


Since
, then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

Answer:
Explanation:
potential energy of compressed spring
= 1/2 k d²
= 1/2 x 730 d²
= 365 d²
This energy will be given to block of mass of 1.2 kg in the form of kinetic energy .
Kinetic energy after crossing the rough patch
= 1/2 x 1.2 x 2.3²
= 3.174 J
Loss of energy
= 365 d² - 3.174
This loss is due to negative work done by frictional force
work done by friction = friction force x width of patch
= μmg d , μ = coefficient of friction , m is mass of block , d is width of patch
= .44 x 1.2 x 9.8 x .05
= .2587 J
365 d² - 3.174 = .2587
365 d² = 3.4327
d² = 3.4327 / 365
= .0094
d = .097 m
= 9.7 cm
If friction increases , loss of energy increases . so to achieve same kinetic energy , d will have to be increased so that initial energy increases so compensate increased loss .
