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: (Sorry, but I don't know how to calculate mass)
1. 15 N
2. 0.4921 (feet per second squared)
4. 150 N
5. 8.202 feet per second squared
