Answers:
kinetic energy lost = 86.4J
Explanation:
let Kf be the kinetic energy after the collision and Ki be the kinetic energy before the collision. let the 3kg car be 1 and 2kg car be 2.
Kf = K1(f) + K2(f)
Ki = K1(i) + k2(i)
loss in kinetic energy = Kf - Ki
= 1/2(3)(2.20)^2 + 1/2(2)(2.20)^2 - 1/2(3)(7)^2 - 1/2(2)(-5)^2
= 12.1 - 98.5
= -86.4 J
therefore, the kinetic energy lost in the collision is 86.4 J.
The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.
What is a laser beam?
Laser beam is a light beam propagating dominantly in one direction.
It is a beam of radiation produced from a laser.
Here given that,
refraction index of glass, n1= 1.52
refraction index of polystyrene plastic, n2 = 1.59
deflection angle, B = 22.6º
For the second surface,
B = 45º - 22.6º
B = 22.40º
Now from the formula of Snell's law:
n1 sinФ = n2 sin B
sin B / sinФ = n1 / n2
sinФ = (sin 22.40º) * ( 1/ 1.59)
Ф = 37.29º
Hence,
The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.
