The angle of incidence of a light beam in air onto a reflecting surface is continuously variable. The reflected ray is found to

be completely polarized when the angle of incidence is 64.2° .What is the index of refraction of the reflecting material?

Answer:

  n = 2.0686

Explanation:

When an unpolarized ray of light is reflected on a surface, the reflected ray is partially polarized, complete polarization occurs when it is true that between the transmitted and reflected ray one has 90, the relationship is

        n = so tea

 let's calculate

        n = tan 64.2

        n = 2.0686

A gas in a cylinder expands from a volume of 0.110 m³ to 0.320 m³. heat flows into the gas just rapidly enough to keep the press
Elden [556K]

80000 Joule is the change in the internal energy of the gas.

<h3>In Thermodynamics, work done by the gas during expansion at constant pressure:</h3>

ΔW = -pdV

ΔW = -pd (V₂ -V₁)

ΔW = - 1.65×10⁵ pa (0.320m³ - 0.110m³)

     = - 0.35×10⁵ pa.m³

     = - 35000 (N/m³)(m³)

     = -35000 Nm

ΔW = -35000 Joule

Therefore, work done by the system = -35000 Joule

<h3>Change in the internal energy of the gas,</h3>

ΔV = ΔQ + ΔW

Given:

ΔQ = 1.15×10⁵ Joule

ΔW = -35000 Joule

ΔU = 1.15×10⁵ Joule - 35000 Joule

      = 80000 Joule.

Therefore, the change in the internal energy of the gas= 80000 Joule.

A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.76 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the
alex41 [277]

Answer:

(a)v_1 = a_1t_1 = 1.76 t_1

(b) It won't hit

(c) 110 m

Explanation:

(a) the car velocity is the initial velocity (at rest so 0) plus product of acceleration and time t1

v_1 = v_0 + a_1t_1 = 0 +1.76t_1 = 1.76t_1

(b) The velocity of the car before the driver begins braking is

v_1 = 1.76*20 = 35.2m/s

The driver brakes hard and come to rest for t2 = 5s. This means the deceleration of the driver during braking process is

a_2 = \frac{\Delta v_2}{\Delta t_2} = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2} = \frac{0 - 35.2}{5} = -7.04 m/s^2

We can use the following equation of motion to calculate how far the car has travel since braking to stop

s_2 = v_1t_2 + a_2t_2^2/2

s_2 = 35.2*5 - 7.04*5^2/2 = 88 m

Also the distance from start to where the driver starts braking is

s_1 = a_1t_1^2/2 = 1.76*20^2/2 = 352

So the total distance from rest to stop is 352 + 88 = 440 m < 550 m so the car won't hit the limb

(c) The distance from the limb to where the car stops is 550 - 440 = 110 m

A copper wire has a radius of 3.5 mm. When forces of a certain equal magnitude but opposite directions are applied to the ends o
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The tensile stress on the wire is 550 MPa.

Explanation:

Given;

Radius of copper wire, R = 3.5 mm

extension of the copper wire, e =  5.0×10⁻³ L

L is the original length of the copper wire,

Young's modulus for copper, Y =  11×10¹⁰Pa.

Young's modulus, Y is given as the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain, measured in the same unit as Young's modulus.

Y =\frac{Tensile \ stress}{Tensile \ strain} \\\\Tensile \ stress = Y*Tensile \ strain\\\\But, Tensile \ strain = \frac{extension}{original \ Length} = \frac{5.0*10^{-3} L}{L} = 5.0*10^{-3}\\\\Tensile \ stress = 11*10^{10} *5.0*10^{-3} \ = 550*10^6 \ Pa

Therefore, the tensile stress on the wire is 550 MPa.
