A ray in oil (n = 1.52) reaches a boundary with water (n = 1.33) at 55.9 deg. Does it reflect internally or refract into the air

Answer:

Ray reflects internally

Explanation:

Given:

Ray in oil (n1) = 1.52

Ray in water (n2) = 1.33

θ = 55.9°

Computation:

Step 1 . Find critical angel(θc)

Sinθc/Sin90° = Ray in water / Ray in oil

Sinθc/1 = 1.33/1.52

θc = 61°

Since, θ = 55.9° is smaller than θc = 61°

So, Ray reflects internally.

A bicyclist starts at rest and speeds up to 30 m/s while accelerating at 4 m/s^2. Determine the distance traveled.
raketka [301]

Answer:

Distance, d = 112.5 meters

Explanation:

Initially, the bicyclist is at rest, u = 0

Final speed of the bicyclist, v = 30 m/s

Acceleration of the bicycle, a=4\ m/s^2

Let s is the distance travelled by the bicyclist. The third equation of motion is given as :

v^2-u^2=2as

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{(30)^2}{2\times 4}

s = 112.5 meters

So, the distance travelled by the bicyclist is 112.5 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

How much work is done when a 214 newton force pushes a sleeping cow 37m across a field.
nata0808 [166]
Hello!

Answer: 
7918 J

Explanation:

We are assuming that the floor (field) is completely horizontal since there's no information about that in the statement. 

We are going to use the following formula:

W= F . Cos \alpha . D

Where:

F=214 N
\alpha =0º
D= 37m

Then, by substituting we have:

W=214N . Cos (0).37m= 7918 N.m=7918 J

2. A 0.8 kg tetherball hangs on the end of a cord. It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground. a. What is the maximum
skad [1K]

Answer:

E = 16.464 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of tetherball, m = 0.8 kg

It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground, h = 21. m

We need to find the maximum gravitational potential energy of the ball. The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 0.8 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2.1 m

= 16.464 J

So, the maximum potential energy of the ball is 16.464 J.

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g
djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

         m = F / a

         m = 60.0 / 0.870

         m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v = M v '

         v ’= \frac{m}{M} \ v

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.
