Why does light change its velocity (or slows down) when it encounters a glass lens?​

Physics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

what happens is that light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass or water. This slowing down of the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change direction. It is the change in the speed of the light that causes refraction.

You set your stationary bike on a high 80-N friction-like resistive force and cycle for 30 min at a speed of 8.0 m/s . Your body
stellarik [79]

A) The change in internal chemical energy is 1.15\cdot 10^7 J

B) The time needed is 1 minute

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the power output of you and the bike, given by:

P=Fv

where

F = 80 N is the force that must be applied in order to overcome friction and travel at constant speed

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

P=(80)(8.0)=640 W

The energy output is related to the power by the equation

P=\frac{E}{t}

where:

P = 640 W is the power output

E is the energy output

t = 30 min \cdot 60 = 1800 s is the time elapsed

Solving for E,

E=Pt=(640)(1800)=1.15\cdot 10^6 J

Since the body is 10% efficient at converting chemical energy into mechanical work (which is the output energy), this means that the change in internal chemical energy is given by

\Delta E = \frac{E}{0.10}=\frac{1.15\cdot 10^6}{0.10}=1.15\cdot 10^7 J

B)

From the previous part, we found that in a time of

t = 30 min

the amount of internal chemical energy converted is

E=1.15\cdot 10^7 J

Here we want to find the time t' needed to convert an amount of chemical energy of

E'=3.8\cdot 10^5 J

So we can setup the following proportion:

\frac{t}{E}=\frac{t'}{E'}

And solving for t',

t'=\frac{E't}{E}=\frac{(3.8\cdot 10^5)(30)}{1.15\cdot 10^7}=1 min

A man walks 7 km, east in 2 hours and 2 km in 1 hour in the same direction. a) what is
Rzqust [24]

Explanation:

Average speed = distance / time

|v| = (7 km + 2 km) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

|v| = 3 km/hr

Average velocity = displacement / time

v = (7 km east + 2 km east) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

v = 3 km/hr east

A proton is initially at rest. After some time, a uniform electric field is turned on and the proton accelerates. The magnitude
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

a) 8.83*10⁵ m/s  b) 2.80*10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

a) Assuming no other forces acting on the proton, the acceleration on it is produced by the electric field.

By definition, the  force due to the electric field is as follows:

F = q*E = e*E (1)

where e is the elementary charge, the charge carried by only one proton, and is e = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C.

According to Newton's 2nd law, this force is at the same time, the product of the mass of the proton, times the acceleration a:

F = mp*a (2)

From (1) and(2), being left sides equal, right sides must be equal too:

F = e*E = mp*a

Solving for a:

a = \frac{e*E}{mp} =\frac{1.6e-19C*1.36e5N/C}{1.67e-27kg} =1.3e13 m/s2

⇒ a = 1.3*10¹³ m/s²

As we have the value of a (which is constant due to the field is uniform), the displacement x, and we know that the initial velocity is 0, in order to get the value of the speed, we can use the following kinematic equation:

vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*a*x

Replacing by v₀ = 0, a= 1.3*10¹³ m/s² and  x = 0.03 m, we can find vf as follows:

vf =\sqrt{2*(1.3e13 m/s2)*0.03m} = 8.83e5 m/s

⇒ vf = 8.83*10⁵ m/s

b) We can just repeat the equation from above, replacing x=0.03 m by x=0.3 m, as follows:

vf =\sqrt{2*(1.3e13 m/s2)*0.3m} = 2.80e6 m/s

⇒ vf = 2.80*10⁶ m/s
