A ray of laser light travels through air and enters an unknown material. The laser enters the material at an angle of 36 degrees

to the normal. The refracted angle is 27.5 degrees. If the index of refraction of air is n = 1.00, what is the index of refraction of the unknown material?

Answer:1.27

Explanation:

Given

incident angle $i=36^{\circ}$

refracted angle $r=27.5^{\circ}$

Suppose $n_2$ is the refractive index of material then using Snell's law we can write

$n_1\sin i=n_2\sin r$

where $n_1$ =refractive index of air

$1\times \sin (36)=n_2\times \sin (27.5)$

$n_2=\dfrac{0.5877}{0.4617}$

$n_2=1.27$

If the average pitcher is releasing the ball from a height of 1.8 m above the ground, and the pitcher's mound is 0.2 m higher th

mina [271]

The catcher can catch the ball at a height of 0.96 m from the ground.

The distance between the pitcher's mound and the catcher's box is about 60'6", which translates to 18.44 m. An average pitcher can pitch with speeds ranging from 88 mph to 97 mph, which is from 39.3 m/s to 43.4 m/s.

Assume the pitcher pitches a ball horizontally with a speed of 40 m/s. If the catcher catches the ball in a time t, then the ball travels a horizontal distance x of 18.44 m and at the same time falls through a height y.

The horizontal motion of the ball is uniform motion since no force acts on the ball ( assuming no air resistance) and hence the acceleration of the ball along the horizontal direction is zero.

Therefore,

$x=ut$

Calculate the time t by substituting 18.44 m for x and 40 m/s for u.

$t=\frac{x}{u} \\ =\frac{18.44 m}{40 m/s} \\ =0.461s$

The ball is acted upon by the earth's gravitational attraction and hence it accelerates downwards with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g.

Since a horizontal projection is assumed, the ball has no component of velocity in the downward direction.

Therefore, for vertical motion, which is an accelerated motion, the distance y, the ball falls in the time t taken by it to reach the catcher's box is given by the equation,

$y=\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Substitute 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.461 s for t.

$y=\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ y=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(0.461s)^2=1.04 m$

The pitcher releases the ball at a height of 1.8 m from a mound which is at a height of 0.2 m. Thus, the ball is released at a height of 2.0 m from the ground. It falls through a distance of 1.04 m in the time it takes to reach the catcher.

Therefore, the height at which the catcher needs to keep his glove so as to catch the ball is given by, $(2.0 m)-(1.04 m)=0.96 m$

The catcher needs to hold his glove at a height of <u>0,96 m from the ground.</u>

A stuntwoman is going to attempt a jump across a canyon that is 77 m wide. The ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

She will make the jump.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

First we will consider horizontal motion of stunt women

Displacement = 77 m, Initial velocity = 28 cos 15 = 27.05 m/s, acceleration = 0

Substituting

$77= 27.05t+\frac{1}{2} *0*t^2\\ \\ t=77/27.05=2.85 seconds$

So she will cover 77 m in 2.85 seconds

Now considering vertical motion, up direction as positive

Initial velocity = 28 sin 15 = 7.25 m/s, acceleration =acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 $m/s^2$ , time = 2.85

Substituting

$s=7.25*2.85-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*2.85^2=20.69-39.80 =-10.11 m$

So at time 2.85 stunt women is 10.11 m below from starting position, far side is 25 m lower. So she will be at higher position.

So she will make the jump.

A 16.2 kg person climbs up a uniform ladder with negligible mass. The upper end of the ladder rests on a frictionless wall. The

S_A_V [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. We will decompose the forces in the vertical and horizontal sense, and at the same time, we will perform summation of torques to eliminate some variables and obtain a system of equations that allow us to obtain the angle.

The forces in the vertical direction would be,

$\sum F_x = 0$

$f-N_w = 0$

$N_w = f$

The forces in the horizontal direction would be,

$\sum F_y = 0$

$N_f -W =0$

$N_f = W$

The sum of Torques at equilibrium,

$\sum \tau = 0$

$Wdcos\theta - N_wLsin\theta = 0$

$WdCos\theta = fLSin\theta$

$f = \frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$

The maximum friction force would be equivalent to the coefficient of friction by the person, but at the same time to the expression previously found, therefore

$f_{max} = \mu W=\frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{d}{\mu L})$

Replacing,

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{0.9}{0.42*2})$

$\theta = 46.975\°$

Therefore the minimum angle that the person can reach is 46.9°

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a.

<u>To </u><u>Find</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m .

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

As the man is in a accelerated frame that is <u>non </u><u>inertial</u><u> frame</u><u> </u>, we would have to think of a pseudo force .

The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .

For the FBD refer to the attachment . From that ,

$\implies Weight_{apparent}= mg + ma$

<u>Hence</u><u> </u><u>option</u><u> </u><u>d </u><u>is </u><u>correct</u><u> </u><u>choice </u><u>.</u>
