A flat piece of glass covers the top of a vertical cylinder that is completely filled with water. If a ray of light traveling in

the glass is incident on the interface with the water at an angle of \theta_{a} = 36.2°, the ray refracted into the water makes an angle of 49.8° with the normal to the interface. What is the smallest value of the incident angle \theta_{a} for which none of the ray refracts into the water?

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Snell's law

n₁ sinθ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

n₁ = refractive index of the first medium ( glass)

n₂ = refractive index of the second medium ( water)

θ₁ = 36.2°, θ₂ = 49.8° refractive index of water = 1.333

n₁ sin 36.2 = 1.333 sin 49.8

n₁ = 1.333 sin 49.8° / sin 36.2° = 1.724

the smallest angle of incidence for which none of the ray refracts into the water is the critical angle which is just the angle in which there is an increase to the normal will cause total internal reflection

n₁  sin citical angle = 1.333 sin 90° where the refracted angle for this is 90°

sin critical angle = 1.3333 / 1.724 = 0.7732

critical angle = sin⁻¹0.7732 = 50.64°

Answer:

The smallest value of the incident angle is 50.8°

Explanation:

According the law of refraction:

n_{1} sin\theta _{1}  =n_{2} sin\theta _{2}

Where

n₁ = index of refraction glass

n₂ = index of refraction water = 1.333

θ₁ = 36.2°

θ₂ = 49.8°

The index of refraction of the glass is:

n_{1} =\frac{n_{2}sin\theta _{2}  }{sin\theta _{1} } =\frac{1.333*sin49.8}{sin36.2} =1.72

The smallest value of the incident angle is:

\theta =sin^{-1} \frac{n_{2} }{n_{1} } =\frac{1.333}{1.72} =50.8

Energy Transformation
Serjik [45]

Answer:

<em>K =400000 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy</u>

Is the energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

The car has a mass of m=2000 Kg and travels at v=20 m/s. Calculating the kinetic energy:

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}2000*20^2

Calculating:

K =400000 J

A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 220 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. What mass of fuel is n
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let fuel is released at the rate of dm / dt where m is mass of the fuel

thrust created on rocket

= d ( mv ) / dt

= v dm / dt

this is equal to force created on the rocket

= 220 dv / dt

so applying newton's law

v dm / dt = 220 dv / dt

v dm = 220 dv

dv / v = dm / 220

integrating on both sides

∫ dv / v    = ∫ dm / 220

lnv =  ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

ln4000 - ln 2500 = ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( ln4000 - ln 2500 )

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( 8.29  - 7.82 )

= 103.4 kg .

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 103 N/C. Compare the
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) FE = 0.764FG

b) a = 2.30 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{qE}{mg}              (1)

FE: electric force

FG: gravitational force

q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

E: electric field = 103N/C

m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)}{(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\\frac{F_E}{F_G}=0.764

Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle

b)

The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:

F_E-F_G=ma\\\\a=\frac{qE-mg}{m}

you replace the values of all variables:

a=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)-(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{2.2*10^{-18}kg}\\\\a=-2.30\frac{m}{s^2}

hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.
