Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib

Effectus [21]

Answer:

D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides

Explanation:

The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 3 m/s.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

a) Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

c) If the helicopter was rising steadily at 3.00 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Initial velocity = 3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = 3+9.8*3 = 32.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Velocity of helicopter = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 53.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 53.1 meter.

So package is (53.1-9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

c) Initial velocity = -3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = -3+9.8*3 = 26.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Velocity of helicopter = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=-9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 35.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 35.1 meter.

So package is (35.1+9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m
