Answer:

a) n2 = 1.55

b) 408.25 nm

c) 4.74*10^14 Hz

d) 1.93*10^8 m/s

Explanation:

a) To find the index of refraction of the syrup solution you use the Snell's law:

n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2   (1)

n1: index of refraction of air

n2: index of syrup solution

angle1: incidence angle

angle2: refraction angle

You replace the values of the parameter in (1) and calculate n2:

n_2=\frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}=\frac{(1)(sin30.2\°)}{sin18.82\°}=1.55

b) To fond the wavelength in the solution you use:

\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}\\\\\lambda_2=\lambda_1\frac{n_1}{n_2}=(632.8nm)\frac{1.00}{1.55}=408.25nm

c) The frequency of the wave in the solution is:

v=\lambda_2 f_2\\\\f_2=\frac{v}{\lambda_2}=\frac{c}{n_2\lambda_2}=\frac{3*10^8m/s}{(1.55)(408.25*10^{-9}m)}=4.74*10^{14}\ Hz

d) The speed in the solution is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n_2}=\frac{3*10^8m/s}{1.55}=1.93*10^8m/s

A heat engine cycle is executed with steam in the saturation dome. The pressure of steam is 1.1 MPa during heat addition and 0.3
klio [65]

Answer:The highest possible efficiency of this heat engine is 11%

Explanation:

Saturated water temperature at  P1, Pressure in Heat addition,

1.1 MPa=185°C +273= 458K

Saturated water temperature at  P2, Pressure in Heat rejection,

0.3MPa=133.5°C+ 273=406.5K

The highest possible efficiency of any heat engine is the Carnot efficiency given as

Carnot efficiency,  ηmax = 1- (T2/ T1)

1- (406.5K/458K)

1-0.88755=0.112

=11%

Please Help!<br><br><br>What is inertia? What does inertia depend on?
Lemur [1.5K]
Inertia is that quantity which depends solely upon mass. The more mass, the more inertia. Momentum is another quantity in Physics which depends on both mass and speed.

Communications satellites are placed in a circular orbit where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth
zalisa [80]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Given:
R = 6.37 x 10⁶ m, the radius of the earth
h = 3.58 x 10⁷ m, the height of the satellite above the earth's surface.
Therefore
R + h = 4.217 x 10⁷ m

In geosynchronous orbit, the period of rotation is 1 day.
Therefore the period is
T = (24 h)*(60 min/h)*(60 s/min) = 86400 s

The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(86400 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Part (a)
The tangential speed is
v = (R+h)*ω
   = (4.217 x 10⁷ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s) 
   = 3066.7 m/s
   = 3.067 km/s

Part (b)
The centripetal acceleration is
a = v²/(R+h)
   = (3066.7 m/s)²/(4.217 x 10⁷ m)
   = 0.223 m/s²

Answers:
(a) The speed is 3.067 km/s
(b) The acceleration is 0.223 m/s²
