Explain why it is not advisable to use small values of index in performing refraction through a prism experiment

Physics
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago

The refractive index is the ratio of the speed in a vacuum to the speed of light in the given medium. If the refractive index is too low, there will not be a large bending, or deviation, of the light beam from its original path.


The small deviation will make it difficult to carry out the experiment, and is more likely to cause errors. Therefore, larger refractive indexes should be used, in order to ensure that the bending of the light beams is easily traceable.

Describe a situation where kinetic energy is converted into potential energy
siniylev [52]
1. A spring or elastic can be stretched to store energy as it wants to return to rest.

2. Gravitational every can be is stored by moving a ball against gravity when lifted then released when bounced.

3. Separating two charged plates will store energy as the plates want to return to their original position.

A basketball player can leap upward 0.43 m. how long does he remain in the air? use an acceleration due to gravity of 9.80 m/s2
MArishka [77]
From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
                = 2×9.81×0.43
                = 8.4366
            u = √8.4366
               =2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
 Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
              = 2.905/9.81
              = 0.296 seconds

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The vertical component of Jack's initial velocity is:

5.0

⋅

=

2.5

m/s

With gravitational acceleration

9.8

m/s

2

, he will reach the highest point of his trajectory after:

2.5

9.8

≈

0.255

s

The average vertical component of his velocity in that

0.255

s

will be:

2.5

=

1.25

m/s

So the highest point of his trajectory will be:

0.255

⋅

1.25

≈

0.32

m

So he will pass approximately

7

above the top of the candle.

The horizontal component of his velocity will be a constant:

5.0

m/s

So Jack's trajectory will be substantially longer than it is high and he will spend little time anywhere near above the candle.

A baseball is thrown 50.0m in 3.0s, what is the average speed of the baseball? Calculated answer is 16.666667! What is the corre
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

20m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance of throw = 50m

Time  = 3s

Unknown:

Average speed  = ?

Solution:

Average speed is distance divided by time;

  Average speed  = \frac{distance }{time}

Insert the parameters and solve;

  Average speed  = \frac{50}{3}   = 16.66667m/s  = 20m/s
