ent angle is 35º and the light ray originates in the medium of higher refractive index. (a) Compute the angle of refraction. (b) Repeat part (a), assuming that the light ray originates in the medium of lower refractive index.

Explanation:

Given

Refractive Index $(n_1)=1.65$

$n_2=1.35$

angle of incident $=35 ^{\circ}$

Light originates in the medium of higher refractive index

Let $\theta _1$ and $\theta _2$ be the incident and refraction angles respectively thus according to snell's law

$n_1sin\theta _1=n_2sin\theta _2$

$1.65\times sin35=1.35\times sin\theta _2$

$sin\theta _2=0.701$

$\theta _2=44.507^{\circ}$

(b)Ray originates from lighter medium

$1.35\times sin35=1.65\times sin\theta _2'$

$sin\theta _2'=0.469$

$\theta _2'=27.96\approx 28^{\circ}$

A 12,500 N alien UFO is hovering about the surface of Earth. At time , its position can be given as () = ((0.24 m/s^3)^3 + 25 m)

stepladder [879]

a) $F=(3675i-4543k)N$

b) 5843 N

Explanation:

a)

The position of the UFO at time t is given by the vector:

$r(t)=(0.24t^3+25)i+(4.2t)j+(-0.43t^3+0.8t^2)k$

Therefore it has 3 components:

$r_x=0.24t^3+25\\r_y=4.2t\\r_z=-0.43t^3+0.8t^2$

We start by finding the velocity of the UFO, which is given by the derivative of the position:

$v_x=r'_x=\frac{d}{dt}(0.24t^3+25)=3\cdot 0.24t^2=0.72t^2\\v_y=r'_y=\frac{d}{dt}(4.2t)=4.2\\v_x=r'_z=\frac{d}{dt}(-0.43t^3+0.8t^2)=-1.29t^2+1.6t$

And then, by differentiating again, we find the acceleration:

$a_x=v'_x=\frac{d}{dt}(0.72t^2)=1.44t\\a_y=v'_y=\frac{d}{dt}(4.2)=0\\a_z=v'_z=\frac{d}{dt}(-1.29t^2+1.6t)=-2.58t+1.6$

The weight of the UFO is W = 12,500 N, so its mass is:

$m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{12500}{9.8}=1276 kg$

Therefore, the components of the force on the UFO are given by Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

So, Substituting t = 2 s, we find:

$F_x=ma_x=(1276)(1.44t)=(1276)(1.44)(2)=3675 N\\F_y=ma_y=0\\F_z=ma_z=(1276)(-2.58t+1.6)=(1276)(-2.58(2)+1.6)=-4543 N$

So the net force on the UFO at t = 2 s is

$F=(3675i-4543k)N$

b)

The magnitude of a 3-dimensional vector is given by

$|v|=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2+v_z^2}$

where

$v_x,v_y,v_z$ are the three components of the vector

In this problem, the three components of the net force are:

$F_x=3675 N\\F_y=0\\F_z=-4543 N$

Therefore, substituting into the equation, we find the magnitude of the net force:

$|F|=\sqrt{3675^2+0^2+(-4543)^2}=5843 N$

Match each label to the boundary it describes. convergent boundary new crust forms transform boundary crust submerges into the m

Paraphin [41]

The answers would be:

CONVERGENT boundary - Crust submerges into the mantle

TRANSFORM boundary - neither forms nor submerges

DIVERGENT boundary - new crust forms

If you'd like to know more about the different boundaries, read on:

Convergent boundaries occur when two plates move TOWARDS each other. The event where crust submerges into the mantle is called <em><u>subduction</u></em> and this occurs when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide. The oceanic plate is more dense and thinner than the continental plate, so it slides under it.

Transform boundaries occur when two plates slide against each other. They move slide side by side, so nothing is formed nor do they go under each other. Although, this type of boundaries create strong earthquakes.

Lastly, divergent boundaries occur when two plates move apart. The separation creates a way for magma to come up. New crust is formed when the magma that seeps out is cooled by its cooler surroundings. This is observed in the mid oceanic ridge.

Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. a fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. a

Alchen [17]

The height of the roof is <u>3.57m</u>

Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.

Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.

$s_2=\frac{1}{2} g(4t)^2=8gt^2\\ s_3=\frac{1}{2} g(3t)^2=(4.5)gt^2$

The length of the window s is given by,

$s=s_2-s_3\\ (1.00 m)=8gt^2-4.5gt^2=3.5gt^2\\ t^2=\frac{1.00 m}{(3.5)(9.8m/s^2)} =0.02915s^2$

The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.

The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,

$h=\frac{1}{2} g(5t)^2=\frac{25t^2}{2g} =\frac{25(0.02915s^2)}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =3.57 m$

the height of the roof is 3.57 m
