"Light traveling in a medium with a refractive index 1.11 is incident on a plate of another medium with index of refraction 1.66

. At what angle of incidence is the reflected light fully polarized?"

Answer:

56°

Explanation:

Brewsters angle can be simply derived from

n1sin theta1= n2sintheta2= n2costheta1

because the reflected light will be 100% polarized if it is reflected at an angle 90o to the refracted light. Hence, Brewsters angle is

Tan theta= n2/n1

1.66/1.11= 1.495

Theta = 56°

Two satellites are in circular orbits around a planet that has radius 9.00x10^6 m. One satellite has mass 53.0 kg , orbital radi

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The orbital speed of this second satellite is 5195.16 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Orbital radius of first satellite $r_{1}= 8.20\times10^{7}$

Orbital radius of second satellite $r_{2}=7.00\times10^{7}\ m$

Mass of first satellite $m_{1}=53.0\ kg$

Mass of second satellite $m_{2}=54.0\ kg$

Orbital speed of first satellite = 4800 m/s

We need to calculate the orbital speed of this second satellite

Using formula of orbital speed

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$

From this relation,

$v_{1}\propto\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{r}}$

Now, $\dfrac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}}$

$v_{2}=v_{1}\times\sqrt{\dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{2}=4800\times\sqrt{\dfrac{ 8.20\times10^{7}}{7.00\times10^{7}}}$

$v_{2}=5195.16\ m/s$

Hence, The orbital speed of this second satellite is 5195.16 m/s.

Explain what it means when scientists say that the offspring of sexual reproduction are genetically diverse.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: During sexual reproduction, the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically-diverse offspring that differ from their parents. The genetic diversity of sexually-produced offspring is thought to give species a better chance of surviving in an unpredictable or changing environment

At standard temperature and pressure, carbon dioxide has a density of 1.98 kg/m3. What volume does 1.70 kg of carbon dioxide occ

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

<h2>volume= 0.85m^3</h2>

Explanation:

<em>The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of the substance, the unit is in kg/m^3 and it is represented by the greek letter rho</em>

Step one:

given data

we are told that the density of Co2= 1.98 kg/m3

and the mass of Co2 is= 1.70 kg

we know the relation between mass, volume and density is

$density=mass/volume$

make volume subject of formula we have

$volume=mass/density$

substitute we have

$volume=1.7/1.98\\\\volume= 0.85m^3$

When a burning stick of increase is moved fast in a circle a circle of red light is seen.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The impression of the image on the retina lasts for about 1/16th of a second after the removal of the object. If a burning stick of incense is revolved at a rate of more than sixteen revolutions per second, we see a circle of red light due to persistence of vision.

An object is originally moving at a constant velocity of 8 m/s in the -x direction. It moves at this constant velocity for 3 sec

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

244.64m

Explanation:

First, we find the distance traveled with constant velocity. It's simply multiplying velocity time the time that elapsed:

$x = V*t = -8\frac{m}{s} *3s = -24m$

After this, the ball will start traveling with a constant acceleration motion. Due to the fact that the acceleration is the opposite direction to the initial velocity, this motion will have 2 phases:

1. The velocity will start to decrease untill it reaches 0m/s.

2. Then, the velocity will start to increase at the rate of the acceleration.

The distance that the ball travels in the first phase can be found with the following expression:

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2a*d$

Where v is the final velocity (0m/s), v_0 is the initial velocity (-8m/s) and a is the acceleration (+9m/s^2). We solve for d:

$d = \frac{v^2 - v_0^2}{2a} = \frac{(0m/s)^2 - (-8m/s)^2}{2*7m/s^2}= -4.57m$

Now, before finding the distance traveled in the second phase, we need to find the time that took for the velocity to reach 0:

$t_1 = \frac{v}{a} = \frac{8m/s}{7m/s^2} = 1.143 s$

Then, the time of the second phase will be:

$t_2 = 9s - t_1 = 9s - 1.143s = 7.857s$

Using this, we using the equations for constant acceleration motion in order to calculate the distance traveled in the second phase:

$x = \frac{1}{2}a*t^2 + v_0*t + x_0$

V_0, the initial velocity of the second phase, will be 0 as previously mentioned. X_0, the initial position, will be 0, for simplicity:

$x = \frac{1}{2}*7\frac{m}{s^2}*t^2 + 0m/s*t + 0m = 216.07m$

So, the total distance covered by this object in meters will be the sum of all the distances we found:

$x_total = 24m + 4.57m + 216.07m = 244.64m$
