Answer:
Part i)
h = 5.44 m
Part ii)
h = 3.16 m
Explanation:
Part i)
Since the ball is rolling so its total kinetic energy in this case will convert into gravitational potential energy
So we have
here we know that for spherical shell and pure rolling conditions
Part b)
If ball is not rolling and just sliding over the hill then in that case
Answer:
The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°
Explanation:
According to Snell's Law,
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n
n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)
Note that from trigonometric relations,
Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁
n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁
(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1
tan θ₁ = 1
θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°
Hope this Helps!!!
