A thin spherical glass shell in air is filled with an unknown liquid. A horizontal parallel light beam is incident on the shell

and it is observed that the light is brought to focus on the surface of the shell directly opposite of the incoming beam. What is the refractive index of the liquid?

A projectile is launched from ground level at angle u and speed v0 into a headwind that causes a constant horizontal acceleratio
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Launch angle =u

Initial Speed is v_0

Horizontal acceleration is a_x=a

At maximum height velocity is zero therefore

v_f=v_i-gt

0=v_0\sin u-gt

t=\frac{v_0\sin u}{g}

Total time of flight T=2t=\frac{2v_0\sin u}{g}

During this time horizontal range is

R=v_o\cos u\cdot 2t-\frac{a(2t)^2}{2}

R=\frac{2v_0^2\sin u\cos u}{g}-\frac{2av_0^2\sin ^u}{g^2}

For maximum range \frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=0

\frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=\frac{2v_0^2\cos 2u}{g}-\frac{4av_0^2\sin u\cos u}{g^2}

\frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=\frac{2v_0^2}{g}\left [ \cos 2u-\frac{a}{g}\sin 2u\right ]=0

\tan 2u=\frac{g}{a}

u=\frac{1}{2}tan ^{-1}\frac{g}{a}

(b)If a =10% g

a=0.1g

thus u=\frac{1}{2}tan^{-1}\frac{g}{0.1g}

u=42.14^{\circ}

Friction occurs when microscopic hills and valleys stick together<br><br> true or false
Reika [66]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth. Rougher surfaces have more friction between them. Heavier objects also have more friction because they press together with greater force. Friction produces heat because it causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.
