Orlov [11]

The question is incomplete. You dis not provide values for A and B. Here is the complete question

Light in the air is incident at an angle to a surface of (12.0 + A) degrees on a piece of glass with an index of refraction of (1.10 + (B/100)). What is the angle between the surface and the light ray once in the glass? Give your answer in degrees and rounded to three significant figures.

A = 12

B = 18

Answer:

18.5⁰

Explanation:

Angle of incidence i = 12.0 + A

A = 12

= 12.0 + 12

= 14

Refractive index u = 1.10 + B/100

= 1.10 + 18/100

= 1.10 + 0.18

= 1.28

We then find the angle of refraction index u

u = sine i / sin r

u = sine24/sinr

1.28 = sine 24 / sine r

1.28Sine r = sin24

1.28 sine r = 0.4067

Sine r = 0.4067/1.28

r = sine^-1(0.317)

r = 18.481

= 18.5⁰

Wine and cheese are complement goods because they are consumed together. What would we expect to happen to the equilibrium quant

notka56 [123]

Explanation:

As wine and cheese are consumed together,it means that they both are complimentary goods.

As per law of demand,the fall in price of a complimentary good would increase the demand and shift the demand curve of the other to the right.

The equilibrium quantity of cheese would increase and shift to right when the price of wine falls.

A student, who weighs 720N, is standing on a bathroom scale and riding an elevator that is moving downwards with a speed that is

jasenka [17]

Answer:

1) The mass of the student is approximately 73.39 kg

2) The net force on the student is approximately 947.523 N

3) The value the scale will read is approximately 96.59 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The weight of the student = 720 N

The speed at which the elevator is decreasing = 3.1 m/s²

1) The weight of the student = The mass of the student × The acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity is a constant = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting the known values gives;

720 N = The mass of the student × 9.81 m/s²

∴ The mass of the student = 720 N/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 73.39 kg

2) The forces acting on the student are;

i) The force of gravity which is the weight of the student acting downwards

ii) The inertia force of the slowing elevator acting downwards in the same direction as the weight of the student

The net force, $F_{net}$ = The weight of the student + The inertia force of the slowing elevator

∴ The net force, $F_{net}$ = 720 N + 73.39 kg × 3.1 m/s² ≈ 947.523 N

3) The scale will read the mass of the student as follows;

Mass reading of student on the scale = Force on scale/9.81

∴ Mass reading of student on the scale = 947.523/9.81 ≈ 96.59 kg

The value the scale will read = 96.59 kg.

The mass of a star is 1.61·1031 kg and its angular velocity is 1.60E-7 rad/s. Find its new angular velocity if the diameter sudd

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

ω₂ = 1.9025 x 10⁻⁶ rad/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of star = 1.61 x 10³¹ kg

angular velocity = 1.60 x 10⁻⁷ rad/s

diameter suddenly shrinks = 0.29 x present size

r₂ = 0.29 r₁

using conservation of angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ ω₂

$(\dfrac{2}{5}mr_1^2)\omega_1=(\dfrac{2}{5}mr2^2)\omega_2$

$r_1^2\times \omega_1=r_2^2\times \omega_2$

$r_1^2\times 1.60\times 10^{-7}=(0.29r_1)^2\times \omega_2$

$1.60\times 10^{-7}=0.0841\times \omega_2$

$\omega_2=\dfrac{1.60\times 10^{-7}}{0.0841}$

ω₂ = 1.9025 x 10⁻⁶ rad/s
