Answer:

correct option is B. 1.39

Explanation:

given data

angle of incidence (θ) = 54.2 degrees

to find out

index of refraction of the glass

solution

we know that here reflected beam is completely polarized

so angle of incidence = angle of polarized    ....................1

for reflective index we apply here Brewster law that is

μ = tan(θ)     ...............2

put here θ value we get

μ = tan(54.2)

μ = 1.386

so correct option is B. 1.39

Answer:

1.386

Explanation:

Angle of incidence, i = 54.2°

Let n be the refractive index of glass.

According to the Brewster's law

n = tan ip

where, ip is the polarising angle.

n = tan 54.2°

n = 1.386

Thus, the refractive index of glass is 1.386.

A car of mass 1167 kg accelerates on a flat highway from 10 m/s to 28.0 m/s. How much work does the car's engine do on the car?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Workdone = 465766038 Joules.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 1167

Initial velocity = 10m/s

Final velocity =28m/s

To find the workdone;

We know that from the workdone theorem, the workdone by an object or a body is directly proportional to the kinetic energy possessed by the object due to its motion.

Mathematically, it is given by the equation;

W = Kf - Ki

W = ½MVf² - ½MVi²

Substituting into the equation

W = ½(1167)*28² - ½(1167)*10²

W = ½ * 1361889* 784 - ½ * 1361889 * 100

W = 533860488 - 68094450

Workdone = 465766038 Joules.

Can a light bulb work without energy transfer.
Scrat [10]

Answer:Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be stored, or it can be transferred i.e. from a hot object to a cool object by conduction, convection or radiation.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The strength of magnetic field is 6.21 \times 10^{-5} T

Explanation:

Given:

Length of rod l = 1.39 m

Velocity v = 3.37 \frac{m}{s}

Induced emf = 0.291 \times 10^{-3} V

According to the faraday's law

Induced emf = Blv

We have to find strength of the magnetic field,

   B = \frac{0.291 \times 10^{-3} }{1.39 \times3.37}

   B = 6.21 \times 10^{-5} T

Therefore, the strength of magnetic field is 6.21 \times 10^{-5} T

What are the effects of atmospheric pressure​
pychu [463]

Answer:

Cloudiness, Wind, and Precipitation. There's more effects produced because of force is more if the surface of the area is smaller, and less when the surface is larger. It also affects weather, it can be measured with a barometer.

What are the ecological consequences of acidification of rain and oceans?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Some effects include:

  • Alumminum particles reach aquatic environments and can harm fish and other wildlife. In these ecosystems acidity can also prevent fish eggs from hatching.
  • Acid rain can remove important minerals and nutrients from the soil preventing trees to grow, it can also poison them due to the aluminum particles.
  • The fenomenon of e pisodic acidification can occur, this means that acidity can be present in m elting snow generating small lapses of higher acidity
  • It can occur a n itrogen pollution

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
