Answer:

W=2 J

Explanation:

Given that

C= 400 µF

V= 100 V

d= 1 mm

Energy before disconnected from the battery

U= 1/2 CV²=Q²/(2C)

Energy after  disconnected from the battery

U'=1/2 C'V²=Q²/(2C')

The work done W

W= U' - U

W= Q²/(2C') - Q²/(2C)

W=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}\left ( \dfrac{C}{C'} -1\right )

1/2 CV²=Q²/(2C)

W=\dfrac{CV^2}{2}\left ( \dfrac{C}{C'} -\right )

We know that

C=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}

C'=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d'}

Given that

d'=2mm ,d= 1mm

C/C'= d'/d= 2

W=\dfrac{CV^2}{2}\left ( \dfrac{C}{C'} -\right )

By putting the values

W=\dfrac{400\times 10^{-6}\times 100^2}{2}( 2 -1 )

W=2 J

The indices of refraction for violet light (λ = 400 nm) and red light (λ = 700 nm) in diamond are 2.46 and 2.41, respectively. A
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

0.42°

Explanation:

Using Snell's law of refraction which states that the ratio of the angle of sin of incidence to angle of sine of refraction is equal to a constant for a given pair of media. Mathematically,

Sin(i)/sin(r) = n

n is the refractive index of the medium

FOR VIOLET LIGHT:

n = 2.46

i = 51°

r = ?

To get r, we will use the Snell's law formula.

2.46 = sin51°/sinr

Sinr = sin51°/2.46

Sinr = 0.316

r = sin^-1(0.316)

rv = 18.42°

FOR RED LIGHT:

n = 2.41

i = 51°

r = ?

To get r, we will use the Snell's law formula.

2.41 = sin51°/sinr

Sinr = sin51°/2.41

Sinr = 0.323

r = sin^-1(0.323)

rd = 18.84°

The angular separation between these two colors of light in the refracted ray will be the difference between there angle of refraction.

Angular separation = rd - rv

= 18.84° - 18.42°

= 0.42°

A diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat at an angle of 30° relative to the normal. If the index of
son4ous [18]

Answer:

<h2>35</h2>

Explanation:

According to snell's law which states that the ratio of the sin of incidence (i) to the angle of refraction(n) is a constant for a given pair of media.

sini/sinr = n

n is the constant = refractive index

Since the diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat, the refractive index n = nw/ng

nw is the refractive index of water and ng is that of glass

sini/sinr = nw/ng

given i = 30°, nw = 1.33, ng = 1.5, r = angle the light leave the glass

On substitution;

sin 30/sinr = 1.33/1.5

1.5sin30 = 1.33sinr

sinr = 1.5sin30/1.33

sinr = 0.75/1.33

sinr = 0.5639

r = arcsin0.5639

r ≈35°

angle the light leave the glass is 35°

A 2.93 kg particle has a velocity of (2.98 i hat - 3.98 j) m/s.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

a) The x and y components of the momentum are 8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} and -11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}, respectively.

b) The magnitude and direction of its momentum are approximately 14.567 kilogram-meters per second and 306.823º.

Explanation:

a) The vectorial equation of momentum is represented by the following expression:

\vec p = m\cdot \vec v (1)

Where:

\vec p - Vector momentum, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

m - Mass of the particle, measured in kilograms.

\vec v - Vector velocity, measured in meters per second.

If we know that m = 2.93\,kg and \vec v = 2.98\,\hat{i}-3.98\,\hat{j}\,\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right], then the momentum is:

\vec p = (2.93)\cdot (2.98\,\hat{i}-3.98\,\hat{j})\,\,\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right]

\vec p = 8.731\,\hat{i}-11.661\,\hat{j}\,\,\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right]

The x and y components of the momentum are 8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} and -11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}, respectively.

b) The magnitude and direction of momentum are represented by the following expressions:

\|\vec p \| = \sqrt{p_{x}^{2}+p_{y}^{2}} (2)

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{p_{y}}{p_{x}} \right) (3)

Where:

\|\vec p\| - Magnitude of momentum, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

\theta - Direction of momentum, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that p_{x} = 8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} and p_{y} = -11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}, then the magnitude and direction of momentum are, respectively:

\|\vec p\| = \sqrt{\left(8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right)^{2}}

\|\vec p\| \approx 14.567\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

\theta =\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} }{8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} } \right)

\theta \approx 306.823^{\circ}

The magnitude and direction of its momentum are approximately 14.567 kilogram-meters per second and 306.823º.
