The drawings show two examples in which a ray of light is refracted at the interface between two liquids. In each example the in

cident ray is in liquid
A and strikes the interface at the same angle of incidence. In one case the ray is refracted into liquid
B, and in the other it is refracted into liquid
C. The dashed lines denote the normals to the interfaces.
D.Rank the indices of refraction of the three liquids in descending order (largest first).

Answer:

Possible options:

A. nA, nC, nB

B. nA, nB, nC

C. nC, nB, nA

D. nC, nA, nB

E. nB, nA, nC

Answer is D

Explanation:

When the light is refracted into liquid B it is bent away from the normal, so that nA > nB. When the light is refracted into liquid C it is bent toward the normal, so that nC > nA. Therefore, we conclude that nC > nA > nB

In a region of space where gravitational forces can be neglected, a sphere is accelerated by a uniform light beam of intensity 8
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration we must use Newton's second law

      F = m a

      a = F / m

To calculate the force we use the defined pressure and the radiation pressure for an absorbent surface

       P = I / c        absorbent surface

       P = F / A

       F / A = I / c

       F = I A / c

The area of ​​area of ​​a circle is

      A = π r²

We replace

     F = I π r² / c

Let's calculate

     F = 8.0 10⁻³ π (1.0 10⁻⁶)²/3 10⁸

     F = 8.375 10⁻²³ N

Density is

      ρ = m / V

      m = ρ V

      m = ρ (4/3 π r³)

      m = 4500 (4/3 π (1 10⁻⁶)³)

      m = 1,885 10⁻¹⁴ kg

Let's calculate the acceleration

     a = 8.375 10⁻²³ / 1.885 10⁻¹⁴

     a = 4.44 10⁻⁹ m/s²               absorbent surface

The correct answer is B

An aircraft flies at sea level at a speed of 220 m/s. What is the highest pressure that can be acting on the surface of the airc
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

An aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying Bernoulli's equation, we determine the highest pressure on the aircraft.

P = \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2

where;

P is the highest pressure on the aircraft

\rho is the density of air = 1.204 kg/m³ at sea level temperature.

V is the velocity of the aircraft = 220 m/s

P = 0.5*1.204*(220)² = 29136.8 N/m²

Therefore, an aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²

21) A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest
zlopas [31]

Answer:

-22,150 N

Explanation:

When the youngster jumps off the platform, during the fall her initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy. Therefore, we can write:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mu^2

where the term on the left is the potential energy while the term on the right is the kinetic energy, and where

m = 50.0 kg is the mass of the youngster

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.00 m is the heigth of the platform

u is the speed of the youngster as she reaches the floor

Solving for u,

u=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(1.00)}=4.43 m/s

Then, when the youngster hits the floor, the force exerted on her during the deceleration is given by:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

where \Delta p is her change in momentum, and where

m is the mass

v = 0 is the final velocity (she comes to a stop)

u = 4.43 m/s is the initial velocity

\Delta t=10.0 ms =0.010 s is the duration of the collision

Substituting,

F=\frac{(50.0)(0-4.43)}{0.010}=-22150 N

And the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion (so, upward).

Calculate the distance travel if it accelerates from 0 to 27.8 meters per second in 2.5 seconds
luda_lava [24]

The distance travel is 69.5 meters.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given datas are as follows

Speed = 27.8 meters / second

Time = 2.5 seconds

The formula to calculate the speed using distance and time is

Speed = Distance ÷ Time (units)

Then Distance = Speed × Time (units)

Distance = (27.8 × 2.5) meters          

Distance = 69.50 meters

Therefore the distance travelled is 69.50 meters.

Un prisma de cemento pesa 2500 N y ejerce una presión de 125 Pa, ¿cuál es el valor del área en la cual se apoya?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Area = 20 m²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 2500 N

Pressure = 125 Pa

To find the area on which it rest;

Mathematically, pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = \frac {Force}{area}

Making area the subject of formula, we have;

Area = \frac {Force}{pressure}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Area = \frac {2500}{125}

Area = 20 m²
