Which of the following values represents an index of refraction of an actual material?

1 answer:

3 0

Sadly, we're forced to answer the question without the benefit of the
list of choices, which, for some reason, you decided not to let us see.

Index of refraction of a substance =

(speed of light in vacuum) / (speed of light in the substance).

Any number greater than ' 1 ' can be an index of refraction. A number
less than ' 1 ' can't be . . . that would be saying that the speed of light
in this substance is greater than the speed of light in vacuum.

A person who normally weighs 580 N is riding in an elevator that is moving upward, but slowing down at a steady rate. If this pe

Zanzabum

Answer:

M au = Fs - M g au = upwards acceleration; Fs = scale reading

Fs = M (au + g) scalar quantities where g is positive downwards and au is positive upwards - Fs is the net force acting on the person

If the acceleration is zero Fs = M g and the scale reads the persons weight

If the elevator is decelerating then au is negative and the scale reading Fs = (g - au) M and the scale reading is less than the weight of the person

Answer:

(i) See attached image for the drawing

(ii) net force given in component form: (20, 20)N with magnitude: $\sqrt{800} \,\,\,N$

Explanation:

First try to write all forces in vector component form:

The force F1 acting at 45 degrees would have multiplication factors of $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ on both axes, to take care of the sine and cosine projections. Therefore, the:

x-component of F1 is $F1_x=12\,\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =12\,\,N$

y-component of F1 is $F1_y=12\,\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =12\,\,N$

As far as force F2, it is given already in x and y components, then:

x-component of F2 = 8 N

y-component of F2 = -6 N (negative meaning pointing down the y-axis)

Force F3 has only component (upwards) in the y-direction

x-component of F3 = 0 N

y-component of F3 =14 N

The additions of all these component by component, gives the resultant force (R) acting on the 5 kg mass:

x-component of R = 12 + 8 = 20 N

y-component of R = 12 + 14 - 6 = 20 N

Therefore, the acceleration that the mass receives due to this force is given in component form as:

x-component of acceleration: 20 N / 5 kg = $4\,\,\,m/s^2$

y-component of acceleration: 20 N / 5 kg = $4\,\,\,m/s^2$

Now we can calculate the components of the velocity of this mass after 2 seconds of being accelerated by this force, using the formula of acceleration times time:

x-component of the velocity is: $v_x=4\,*\,2=8\,m/s$

y-component of the velocity is: $v_y=4\,*\,2=8\,m/s$
