Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
(c) 
(d) 
Solution:
As per the question:
Refractive index of medium 1, 
Angle of refraction for medium 1, 
Angle of refraction for medium 2, 
Now,
(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:
where
= Refractive Index of medium 2
Now,
(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:
(c) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 1:
We know that:
Thus for medium 1
(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:
For medium 2:
Answer:
<em>The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N and acts opposite to the applied force.</em>
Explanation:
<u>Net Force
</u>
The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an unbalanced net force is applied to it.
The acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
If the object has zero net force, it won't get accelerated and its velocity will remain constant.
The m=2 kg block is being pulled across a horizontal surface by a force of F=15 N and we are told the block moves at a constant velocity. This means the acceleration is zero and therefore the net force is also zero.
Since there is an external force applied to the box, it must have been balanced by the force of friction, thus the force of friction has the same magnitude acting opposite to the applied force.
The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N opposite to the applied force.
Answer:
Option C. 210 J.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg
Height (h) = 12 m
Velocity (v) = 18 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?
Next, we shall determine the potential energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg
Height (h) = 12 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 0.75 × 9.8 × 12
PE = 88.2 J
Next, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg
Velocity (v) = 18 m/s
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 0.75 × 18²
KE = ½ × 0.75 × 324
KE = 121.5 J
Finally, we shall determine the total mechanical energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:
Potential energy (PE) = 88.2 J
Kinetic energy (KE) = 121.5 J
Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?
ME = PE + KE
ME = 88.2 + 121.5
ME = 209.7 J
ME ≈ 210 J
Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the plane is 210 J.
