What three variable factors determine the force of gravity between any two objects?

1 answer:

5 0

The force of gravity between two objects is:
F = G*m1*m2/r^2

So, it is dependent of the two masses and the distance between their centers of mass.

snow_lady [41]

Laurentia, also called the North American Craton, is a huge continental craton. It forms the ancient geological core of the continent of North America. It is made up of present day North America and Greenland. About 300 million years ago, it collided with the southern hemispheric continent of Gondwana and formed the supercontinent called Pangaea.

An example of when total internal reflection occurs is when all the light passing from a region of higher index of refraction to

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

is reflected back into the region of higher index

Explanation:

Total internal reflection is a phenomenon that occurs when all the light passing from a region of higher index of refraction to a region of lower index is reflected back into the region of higher index.

According to Snell's law, refraction of ligth is described by the equation

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

n1 is the refractive index of the first medium

n2 is the refractive index of the second medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (in the first medium)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (in the second medium)

Let's now consider a situation in which

$n_1 > n_2$

so light is moving from a medium with higher index to a medium with lower index. We can re-write the equation as

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

Where $\frac{n_1}{n_2}$ is a number greater than 1. This means that above a certain value of the angle of incidence $\theta_1$ , the term on the right can become greater than 1. So this would mean

$sin \theta_2 > 1$

But this is not possible (the sine cannot be larger than 1), so no refraction occurs in this case, and all the light is reflected back into the initial medium (total internal reflection). The value of the angle of incidence above which this phenomen occurs is called critical angle, and it is given by

$\theta_c =sin^{-1}(\frac{n_2}{n_1})$
