Answer:

$4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m$

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.

In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0$ is the wavelength in a vacuum (air is a good approximation of vacuum)

n is the refractive index of the medium

In this problem:

$\lambda_0 = 5.89\cdot 10^{-7} m$ is the original wavelength of the wave

n = 1.47 is the index of refraction of corn oil

Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in corn oil is:

$\lambda=\frac{5.89\cdot 10^{-7}}{1.47}=4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m$

What is the average acceleration of a car that goes from rest to 60 km/h in 8 seconds? Be sure to show all work to support your

wel

The average acceleration can be found by dividing the final speed by the time taken to reach said point so in this case you divide 60 by 8 resulting in 7.5 which will be your answer

Consider the two moving boxcars in Example 5. Car 1 has a mass of m1 = 65000 kg and a velocity of v01 = +0.80 m/s. Car 2 has a m

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

1.034m/s

Explanation:

We define the two moments to develop the problem. The first before the collision will be determined by the center of velocity mass, while the second by the momentum preservation. Our values are given by,

$m_1 = 65000kg\\v_1 = 0.8m/s\\m_2 = 92000kg\\v_2 = 1.2m/s$

<em>Part A)</em> We apply the center of mass for velocity in this case, the equation is given by,

$V_{cm} = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$

Substituting,

$V_{cm} = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}$

$V_{cm} = 1.034m/s$

Part B)

For the Part B we need to apply conserving momentum equation, this formula is given by,

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f$

Where here $v_f$ is the velocity after the collision.

$v_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$v_f = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}$

$v_f = 1.034m/s$

When the speed of the bottle is 2 m/s, the KE is kg m2/s2. When the speed of the bottle is 3 m/s, the KE is kg m2/s2. When the s

d1i1m1o1n [39]

mass of the bottle in each case is M = 0.250 kg

now as per given speeds we can use the formula of kinetic energy to find it

1) when speed is 2 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K = \frac{1}{2}(0.250)(2)^2 = 0.5 J$

2) when speed is 3 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K = \frac{1}{2}(0.250)(3)^2 = 1.125 J$

3) when speed is 4 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K = \frac{1}{2}(0.250)(4)^2 = 2 J$

4) when speed is 5 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K = \frac{1}{2}(0.250)(5)^2 = 3.125 J$

5) when speed is 6 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K = \frac{1}{2}(0.250)(6)^2 = 4.5 J$

A test charge of 13 mC is at a point P where an external electric field is directed to the right and has a magnitude of 4 3 106

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C, but the direction is still to the right.

Explanation:

From coulomb's law, F = Eq

Thus,

F = E₁q₁

F = E₂q₂

Then

E₂q₂ = E₁q₁

$E_2 = \frac{E_1q_1}{q_2}$

where;

E₂ is the external electric field due to second test charge = ?

E₁ is the external electric field due to first test charge = 4 x 10⁶ N/C

q₁ is the first test charge = 13 mC

q₂ is the second test charge = 23 mC

Substitute in these values in the equation above and calculate E₂.

$E_2 = \frac{4*10^6*13}{23} = 2.26 *10^6 \ N/C$

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C when 13 mC test charge is replaced with another test charge of 23 mC.

However, the direction of the external field is still to the right.
