Answer:

The idex of refraction of the medium is 1.31.

Explanation:

the relationship between the index of refraction of a medium and the speed at which light travels is given by:

n = c/v

where n is the index of refraction, c is the speed of light and v is the speed of light in the medium.

n = c/v

= (3×10^8)/(2.290×10^8)

= 1.31

Therefore, the idex of refraction of the medium is 1.31.

Triss [41]

Answer:

The principle of conservation of energy and angular momentum

Explanation:

At point A, the car experienced maximum of potential energy

As it moves down the hill, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.

The maximum kinetic energy of the car is needed for the attainment of enough centripetal force to help the car move through the loop without falling .

adell [148]

Answer:

the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

$f_{c_1$ = c / 2a

where f is frequency, c is the speed of light in air and a is the plate separation distance.

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s

plate separation distance a = 7.11 mm = 0.0711 cm

so we substitute

$f_{c_1$ = 3 × 10¹⁰ / 2( 0.0711 )

$f_{c_1$ = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s / 0.1422 cm

$f_{c_1$ = 21.1 GHz which is larger than 15 GHz { TEM mode is only propagated along the wavelength }

Now, we determine the minimum wavelength required

Each non propagating mode is attenuated by at least 100 dB at 15 GHz

Attenuation constant TE₁ and TM₁ expression is;

∝₁ = 2πf/c × √( ( $f_{c_1$ / f)² - 1 )

so we substitute

∝₁ = ((2π × 15)/3 × 10⁸ m/s) × √( (21.1 / 15)² - 1 )

∝₁ = 3.1079 × 10⁻⁷

∝₁ = 310.79 np/m

Now, To find the minimum wavelength, lets consider the design constraint;

20log₁₀ $e^{-\alpha _1l_{min$ = -100dB

we substitute

20log₁₀ $e^{-(310.7np/m)l_{min$ = -100dB

$l_{min$ = 3.71 cm

Therefore, the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm

A coil of 160 turns and area 0.20 m2 is placed with its axis parallel to a magnetic field of initial magnitude 0.40 T. The magne

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The rate at which power is generated in the coil is 10.24 Watts

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the coil, N = 160

area of the coil, A = 0.2 m²

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 0.4 T

time for field change = 2 s

resistance of the coil, R = 16 Ω

The induced emf in the coil is calculated as;

emf = dΦ/dt

where;

Φ is magnetic flux = BA

emf = N (BA/dt)

emf = 160 (0.4T x 0.2 m²)/dt

emf = 12.8 V/s

The rate power is generated in the coil is calculated as;

P = V²/ R

P = (12.8²) / 16

P = 10.24 Watts

Therefore, the rate at which power is generated in the coil is 10.24 Watts

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

α = - 1.883 rev/min²

Explanation:

Given

ωin = 113 rev/min

ωfin = 0 rev/min

t = 1.0 h = 60 min

α = ?

we can use the following equation

ωfin = ωin + α*t ⇒ α = (ωfin - ωin) / t

⇒ α = (0 rev/min - 113 rev/min) / (60 min)

⇒ α = - 1.883 rev/min²
