Use evidence to explain why glass refracted more light than air or water

1 answer:

agasfer [191]3 years ago

Explanation:

The refraction is the change in the direction of light while travelling from the one medium to another due to having different speeds in different mediums.

To determine how much light gets refracted, it depends on the density of substance and the wavelength and the angle at which light enters the substance.

Light travels more slowly in denser medium than the rarer medium. The refractive index of glass is more than water or air. Light gets refracted more in this. When the light travels from rarer to denser then the light will get bend towards the normal. When the light travels from denser to rarer then the light will get bend away from the normal.

Glass is more denser than air or water. Water is more denser than the air. When light travels from air to glass then the light gets bends towards the normal. When the light travels from glass to the air then light gets bends away from the normal.

Therefore, the light gets refracted more in the glass than air to water.

A pump lifts 200 kg of water to a water tank placed at a height of 25m in 20 s. Find its power. g = 10 m/s² [Ans: 2500 W]

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

2500W

Explanation:

P = W/t

As we know that

W = mgh

so:

P = mgh/t

put values

P = (200)(10)(25) / 20

<u><em>P = 2500W </em></u>

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 22 kg kg crate and the floor is 0.27, what horizontal force is required to move

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

58.27 N

Explanation:

the data we have is:

mass: $m=22kg$

coefficient of friction: $\mu =0.27$

and we also know the acceleration of gravity is $g=9.81m/s^2$

We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:

-------

Vertically the forces acting on the object:

Normal force $N$ (acting up from the object)

weight: $w=mg$ (acting down from)

so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:

$F_{y}=N-w\\F_{y}=N-mg$

from Newton's second Law we know that $F=ma$ , so:

$ma_{y}=N-mg$

and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) $a_{y}=0$ , and:

$0=N-mg\\N=mg$

-----------

now let's analyze the horizontal forces

frictional force: $f= \mu N$ and since $N=mg$ --> $f=\mu mg$

force to move the object: $F$

and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:

$F=ma_{x}=F-f\\ma_{x}=F-\mu mg$

and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration: $a_{x}=0$

and we get:

$0=F-\mu mg\\F=\mu mg$

substituting known values:

$F=(0.27)(22kg)(9.81m/s^2)\\F=58.27N$
