Answer:
13.6 cm
Explanation:
From Snell's law:
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.
Given n₂ = 4/3:
1 = 4/3 sin θ
sin θ = 3/4
If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:
sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)
sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)
Substituting:
3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)
9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)
9/16 x² + 81 = x²
81 = 7/16 x²
x ≈ 13.6
The initial velocity of the ball is 1.01 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the ball rolling off the desk is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform horizontal motion with constant horizontal velocity
- A vertical accelerated motion with constant acceleration (, acceleration due to gravity)
We start by analyzing the vertical motion: we can find the time of flight of the ball by using the following suvat equation
where
s = 1.20 m is the vertical displacement (the height of the desk)
u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity
t is the time of flight
Solving for t,
Now we analyze the horizontal motion. We know that the ball covers a horizontal distance of
d = 0.50 m
in a time
t = 0.495 s
Therefore, since the horizontal velocity is constant, we can calculate it as
So, the ball rolls off the table at 1.01 m/s.
