Answer:

a) R_s = 0.092

b) R_p = 0.085

Explanation:

given,

n =1.5 for glass surface

n = 1 for air

incidence angle = 45°

using Fresnel equation of reflectivity of S and P polarized light

R_s=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_i-n_2cos\theta_t}{n_1cos\theta_i+n_2cos\theta_t} \right |^2\\R_p=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_t-n_2cos\theta_i}{n_1cos\theta_t+n_2cos\theta_i} \right |^2

using snell's law to calculate θ t

sin \theta_t = \dfrac{n_1sin\theta_i}{n_2}=\dfrac{sin45^0}{1.5}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{3}

cos \theta_t =\sqrt{1-sin^2\theta_t} = \dfrac{sqrt{7}}{3}

a) R_s=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}} \right |^2

R_s = 0.092

b) R_p=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}-\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}}{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}+\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}} \right |^2

R_p = 0.085

How long will it take a car to accelerate from 15.2 to 23.5 m/s if the car has an average acceleration of 3.2 m/s?
Nuetrik [128]
 a =  ( V2 - V1)/( t2 - t1)
 3.2 =  ( 23.5m/s - 15.2m/s)/(t - 0)
3.2m/s = 8.3/t
t(3.2) = 8.3
t = 8.3/3.2
t = 2.59 seconds

An electron in the beam of a cathod-ray tube is accelerated by a potential difference of 2.12 kV . Then it passes through a regi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

Explanation:

To find the velocity first we put kinetic energy og electron is equal to potential energy of electron

K.E=P.E

\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}  =e*V

where :

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

V is the potential difference

v=\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} }    eq 1

Radius of electron moving in magnetic field is given by:

R=\frac{m*v}{q*B}       eq 2

where:

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

q=e=charge of electron

B is the magnitude of magnetic field

Put v from eq 1 into eq 2

R=\frac{m*\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} } }{e B}

B=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*V}{e*R^{2} } }

B=\sqrt{\frac{2*(9.31*10^{-31})*(2.12*10^{3})  }{(1.60*10^{-19})*(0.170)^{2}  } }

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

An ideal battery would produce an extraordinarily large current if "shorted" by connecting the positive and negative terminals w
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Resistance, R=0.529\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of the battery, V = 9 volts

Current produced in the circuit, I = 17 A

We need to find the resistance when shorted by a wire of negligible resistance. It is a case of Ohm's law. The voltage is given by :

V=IR

R=\dfrac{V}{I}

R=\dfrac{9\ V}{17\ A}

R=0.529\ \Omega

So, the resistance in the circuit is 0.529 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.
