A. Medium 1 is air. The refractive index of air is 1.0003. Refractive index is a measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium to another. If i is the angle of incidence of a ray in vacuum and r is the angle of refraction, the refractive index n is defined as the ratio of the sine angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction; that is, n= sin i/ sin r. Refractive index may also be given by the velocity of light in medium 1 divided by the velocity of light in medium 2.


b. In this case the refractive index = sin 72.5/sin 39.6 
                                                   = 1.4962 
but n = x/ 1.0003 = 1.4962
Therefore; x = 1.4967
Hence the refractive index of medium 2 is 1.4967. 
I therefore think that medium 2 is toluene; since it has a similar refractive index.

How much heat is contained in 100 kg of water at 60.0 °C?
attashe74 [19]
First we need to write down heat capacity for water which is constant.
cp=4186 J/(kg*K)

The equation for Energy that we will be calculating is:

E=cp*m*T
where m is mass and T is absolute temperature (273,15 + 60 in this case). Replacing all the values in equation we get:

E = 4186*100*333,15 = 139 456 590 J

The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of −5.2
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The car strikes the tree with a final speed of 4.165 m/s

The acceleration need to be of -5.19 m/seg2 to avoid collision by 0.5m

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the initial speed V_{0}

x=V_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *a*(t^{2} )\\62.5m=V_{0} *4.15s+\frac{1}{2} *-5.25\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(4.15^{2} )\\V_{0}=25.953\frac{m}{s}

Once we have the initial speed, we can isolate the final speed from following equation:

V_{f} =V_{0} +a*t  V_{f}= 4.165 \frac{m}{s}  

Then we can calculate the aceleration where the car stops 0.5 m before striking the tree.

To do that, we replace 62 m in the first formula, as follows:

x=V_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *a*(t^{2} )\\62m=25.953\frac{m}{s}*4.15s+\frac{1}{2} *-a\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(4.15^{2} )\\a=-5.19\frac{m}{s^{2} }

During a 0.001 s interval while it is between the plates, the change of the momentum of the electron Δp with arrow is < 0, -8
Delvig [45]

Answer:

5.5 x 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

t = 0.001 s

Δp = - 8.8 x 10^-17 kg m /s

Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

F = Δp / Δt

F = (8.8 x 10^-17) / 0.001 = 8.8 x 10^-14 N

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Electric field, E = F / q = (8.8 x 10^-14) / (1.6 x 10^-19)

E = 5.5 x 10^5 N/C

Assuming a vertical trajectory with no drag, derive the applicable form of the rocket equation for this application
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The vertical trajectory is governed by Ordinary Differential Equation.

Time derivatives of each state variables.

d(d)/dt = v, d(m)/dt = -d(m-fuel)/dt, d(v)/dt = F/m.

Where V is velocity positive upwards, t is time, m is mass, m-fuel is fuel mass, F is Total force, positive upwards.

Therefore,

F = -mg - D + T, If V is positive and

F = -mg + D - T, If T is negative.

D is drag and the questions gave it as zero.

Explanation:

The two sign cases in derivative equations above are required because F is defined positive up, so the drag D and thrust T can subtract or add to F depending in the sign of V . In contrast, the gravity force contribution mg is always negative. In general, F will be some function of time, and may also depend on the characteristics of the particular rocket. For example, the T component of F will become zero after all the fuel is expended, after which point the rocket will be ballistic, with only the gravity force and the aerodynamic drag force being p
