Answer:
13.6 cm
Explanation:
From Snell's law:
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.
Given n₂ = 4/3:
1 = 4/3 sin θ
sin θ = 3/4
If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:
sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)
sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)
Substituting:
3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)
9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)
9/16 x² + 81 = x²
81 = 7/16 x²
x ≈ 13.6
Answer:
e) 120m/s
Explanation:
When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning
.
where is the initial velocity.
Solving for we get
which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.
Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity
it has gained is
,
and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity ; therefore,
which gives
Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity is
This , we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,
and solving for we get:
which from the options given is choice e.
