Answer:

2000 N

1600 N

Explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the bear's weight is 2000 N and it slides down the tree with constant velocity. Since it is sliding with constant velocity the overall force on the bear is zero. The weight of the bear acting downward balances the upward force caused due to friction. Hence the upward force equals the weight 2000 N.

Step 2:

It is given that the bear slides down with an acceleration 2 m/sec sq

Weight of the bear = 2000 N

Mass of the bear = 2000/10 (taking g = 10 m/sec sq)=200 kg

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Hence net force acting downward = 200*2=400 N.

Net force = Weight of bear - Force acting upward on the bear

400 = 2000 - Force acting upward on the bear

Force on the bear acting upward = 2000 - 400 = 1600 N

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

I don't know but I explain some of it as best as I can

Explanation:

Substances that start a chemical reaction are called reactants. Substances that are produced in the reaction are called products. Reactants and products can be elements or compounds. Bonds break in the reactants and new bonds form in the products.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

$\theta_{max} =18.38^o$

New $n_{cladding} =1.491$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The refractive index of the core is $n_{core} = 1.497$

The refractive index of the cladding is $n_{cladding} = 1.421$

Generally according to Snell's law

$n_{core} * sin(90- \theta) = n_{cladding} * sin (90)$

Where $\theta_{max}$ is the largest angle a largest angle a ray will make with respect to the interface of the fiber and experience total internal reflection

$\theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{n_{cladding}}{n_{core}} ]$

$\theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{1.421}{1.497}} ]$

$\theta_{max} =18.38^o$

Given from the question the the largest angle is 5°

Generally the refraction index of the cladding is mathematically represented as

$n_{cladding} = n_{core} * sin (90 - 5)$

$n_{cladding} =1.491$

What is the maximum frequency of visible light in hertz?

Nataliya [291]

All frequencies of light in hertz are in between
$Red = 4 * 10 ^{14} Hz$ and
$Violet = 8 * 10 ^{14} Hz$

Light with a lower frequency than 4 * 10^14 Hz, are called infrared and can't be seen by human eye. Light with a higher frequency than 8 * 10^14 Hz, are called ultraviolet and can't bee seen by human eye.

Therefore, the maximum frequency of visible light in Hz, is 8 * 10^14 Hz
