Answer: 1.43

Explanation:

Given that:

C (critical angle) = 44.4°

n (refractive index of plastic) = ?

Apply the formula n = 1/sineC, the index of refraction for the plastic can be obtained by:

n = 1/sineC

n = 1/sine 44.4°

n = (1/0.6996)

n = 1.43

Thus, the index of refraction for the plastic is 1.43

Answer:0.38

Explanation:

the formula is f = c / λ

so f= 2.5/6.5

and that equals 0.38 46 and so on so i just rounded it

An element has the following natural abundances and isotopic masses: 90.92% abundance with 19.99 amu, 0.26% abundance with 20.99

sashaice [31]

Answer: The average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of the isotopes each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

We are given:

For isotope 1:

Mass of isotope 1 = 19.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 90.92 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9092

For isotope 2:

Mass of isotope 2 = 20.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 0.26%

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0026

For isotope 3:

Mass of isotope 3 = 21.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 8.82%

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0882

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Average atomic mass}=[(19.99\times 0.9092)+(20.99\times 0.0026)+(21.99\times 0.0882)]$

$\text{Average atomic mass}=20.169amu$

Hence, the average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.

12. An electric motor is plugged into a standard wall socket and is run- ning at normal speed. Suddenly, some dirt prevents the

rusak2 [61]

the answer would be B. the back emf increases, and the current drawn from the socket increases

more current is needed to make the motor move, like when you try to self crank a motor and the back wires are touching its harder to crank. and the emf increases since more current is being drawn in, strengthening the emf or increasing the emf

A rod of length 20 cm has two beads attached to its ends. The rod with beads starts rotating from rest. If the beads are to have

exis [7]

Answer:

$\alpha=28.57\frac{rad}{s^2}$

Explanation:

We use the following rotational kinematic equation to calculate the angular acceleration of the rod:

$\omega_f=\omega_0+\alpha t$

Here $\omega_f$ is the final angular speed, $\omega_0\\$ is the initial angular speed and $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration. The rod starts rotating from rest ( $\omega_0=0$ ):
