Ask Your Teacher A piece of wire is bent through an angle θ. The bent wire is partially submerged in carbon disulfide (index of

refraction n = 1.628) so that, to a person looking along the dry part, the wire appears to be straight and makes an angle of 26.4° with the horizontal. Determine the value of θ.

Answer:

θ1 = 33.38°

Explanation:

From Snell's law of refraction,

n1•sinθ1 = n2•sinθ2

We are given ;

Angle of refraction; θ2 = (90 - 26.4°) = 63.6°

Index of refraction; n1 = 1.628

Index of refraction in air; n2 will have a constant value of 1

Now, we are looking for angle of incidence θ1, so let's make θ1 the subject;

n1•sinθ1 = n2•sinθ2

So, sinθ1 = (n2•sinθ2)/n1

Plugging in the relevant values;

sinθ1 = (1 x sin 63.6)/1.628

sinθ1 = 0.5502

θ1 = sin^(-1)0.5502

θ1 = 33.38°

A 2 kg block is pushed by an external force against a spring with spring constant 131 N/m until the spring is compressed by 2.1
Andrej [43]

Answer:

   d = 19.92 m

Explanation:

As in this exercise there is friction we must use the relationship between work and energy

          W = ΔEm

Look for energy in two points

Initial. Fully compressed spring

          Em₀ = K_{e} = ½ k x²

Final. When the block stopped

      Em_{f} = 0

Let's look for the work of the rubbing force

       W = fr d cos θ

Since rubbing is always contrary to movement, θ = 180

      W = - fr d

Let's use Newton's second Law, to find the force of friction

Y Axis

          N- w = 0

          N = mg

The equation for the force of friction is

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ mg

We substitute in the work equation

          W = - μ m g d

We write the relationship of work and energy

     -μ m g d = 0 - ½ k x²

     d = ½ k x² / μ m g

Let's calculate

     d = ½ 131 2.1 2 / (0.74 2 9.8)

     d = 19.92 m

When its 75 kW (100 hp) engine is generating full power, a small single-engine airplane with mass 700 kg gains altitude at a rat
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

343/1500

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the product force and velocity. The S.I unit of power is Watt (w).

From the question,

P' = mg×v................. Equation 1

Where P' = power used to gain an altitude, m = mass of the engine, g = acceleration due to gravity of the engine, v = velocity of the engine.

Given: m = 700 kg, v = 2.5 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

P' = 700(2.5)(9.8)

P' = 17150 W.

If the full power generated by the engine = 75000 W

The fraction of the engine power used to make the climb = 17150/75000

= 343/1500

An astronaut standing on a platform on the moon drops a hammer. if the hammer falls 6.0 meters vertically in 2.7 seconds, what i
Amanda [17]
The distance that is traveled by the astronaut given that the motion is free-fall can be calculated through the equation,

    d = Vot + 0.5at²

where d is the distance, Vo is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration. Substituting the known,

   6 = (0 m/s)(2.7 s) + 0.5(a)(2.7 s)²

Determining the value of a,
    a = 1.646 m/s²

ANSWER: 1.646 m/s²
