For a beam of light in air (n = 1) reflecting off glass (n = 1.5), what is Brewster's angle to the nearest degree?

Physics

Georgia [21]3 years ago

Answer: 56°

Explanation:

Brewster's angle refers to the angle at the point where light of a certain polarization passes through a transparent dielectric surface and is transmitted perfectly such that no reflection is made.

The formula is;

= Tan^{-1} (\frac{n_{2} }{n_{1}} )

= Tan^{-1} (\frac{1.5 }{1} )

= 56.30993247

= 56°

Answer:

Solar water heaters are devices that use energy from the sun to heat water. ... This metal surface, placed in contact with the water, will heat the water. Black-painted surfaces that receive the sun's heat become hotter than surfaces of any other color. The black metal plate is called a collector.

A runner is moving at a constant speed of 8.00 m/s around a circular track. If the distance from the runner to the center of the
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: Last option

2.27 m/s2

Explanation:

As the runner is running at a constant speed then the only acceleration present in the movement is the centripetal acceleration.

If we call a_c to the centripetal acceleration then, by definition

a_c =w^2r = \frac{v^2}{r}

in this case we know the speed of the runner

v =8.00\ m/s

The radius "r" will be the distance from the runner to the center of the track

r = 28.2\ m

a_c = \frac{8^2}{28.2}\ m/s^2

a_c = 2.27\ m/s^2

The answer is the last option

Una persona tiene 45 años de edad y una masa de 78 kg. ¿Cuántas horas ha vivido? ¿Cuál
Pavel [41]

Answer:

I will answer this in English.

He has 45 years.

a year has 365 days.

a day has 24 hours.

So he has:

45*365*24  hours = 394,200 hours.

His mass is 78 kg,

And we know that 1 slug = 1lbf*ft/s^2

Then, the first step is transform the 78 kg into lbf.

1kg = 2.2 lbf.

then 78kg = 78*2.2 lbf = 171.6lbf.

Now, the weight is m*g, where m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration, in this case the gravitational acceleration in ft/s^2 is:

g =  32.2 ft/s^2

Then the weight in slugs is:

W = 32.2ft/s^2*171.6lbf = 5,525.5 slugs
