Calculate the index of refraction for a medium in which the speed of light is 2.1x 108 m/s. The speed of light in vacuum is 3x10
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

n = 1.42

Explanation:

The refractive index for a medium is given by the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\n=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.1\times 10^8}\\\\n = 1.42

So, the refractive index of the medium is 1.42.

Two 13 cm -long thin glass rods uniformly charged to +11nC are placed side by side, 4.0 cm apart. What are the electric field st
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

E1  = 10.15 * 10^4 N/C

E2 = 0

E3 = 10.15 *10^4 N/C

Explanation:

Given data:

Two 13 cm-long thin glass rods ( L ) = 0.13 m

charge (Q)  = +11nC

distance between thin glass rods   = 4 cm .

<u>Calculate the electric field strengths </u>

electric charge due to a single glass rod in the question ( E ) = \frac{Q}{2\pi e_{0}rL }

equation 1 can be used to determine E1, E2 and E3 because the points lie within the two rods hence the net electric field produced will be equal to the difference in electric fields produced

applying equation 1 to determine E1

E1 = \frac{Q}{2\pi e_{0}rL } ( \frac{1}{0.01} - \frac{1}{0.03} )    ( distance from 1 rod is 0.01 m and from the other rod is 0.03 )

   = \frac{11*10^{-9} }{2*3.14*8.85*10^{-12}*0.13 } ( 66.67 )

   = 10.15 * 10^4 N/C

applying equation 1 to determine E2

E2 = \frac{Q}{2\pi e_{0}rL }( \frac{1}{0.02} - \frac{1}{0.02} )

therefore E2 = 0

E1 = E3

hence E3 = 10.15*10^4 N/C

In an experiment, a disk is set into motion such that it rotates with a constant angular speed. As the disk spins, a small spher
boyakko [2]

Answer:

  L₀ = L_f ,  K_f < K₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we start as the angular momentum, with the friction force they are negligible and if we define the system as formed by the disk and the clay sphere, the forces during the collision are internal and therefore the angular momentum is conserved.

This means that the angular momentum before and after the collision changes.

Initial instant. Before the crash

        L₀ = I₀ w₀

Final moment. Right after the crash

        L_f = (I₀ + mr²) w

we treat the clay sphere as a point particle

how the angular momentum is conserved

       L₀ = L_f

       I₀ w₀ = (I₀ + mr²) w

       w = \frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}   w₀

having the angular velocities we can calculate the kinetic energy

       

starting point. Before the crash

        K₀ = ½ I₀ w₀²

final point. After the crash

        K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) w²

sustitute

        K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²)  ( \frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}   w₀)²

        Kf = ½  \frac{I_o^2}{ I_o + m r^2}   w₀²

we look for the relationship between the kinetic energy

        \frac{K_f}{K_o}=   \frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}

       \frac{K_f}{K_o } < 1

      K_f < K₀          

we see that the kinetic energy is not constant in the process, this implies that part of the energy is transformed into potential energy during the collision

Use Newton's laws to explain why a falling object dropped from a 57m tower accelerates initially but then reaches constant veloc
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

At the point of dropping the object, by Newton's first law due to gravitational force F_g = m × g, accelerates

By Newton's Second law the object reaches impacts on the air with the gravitational force resulting in changing momentum of m×(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)

As the velocity increases, the rate of change of momentum becomes equivalent to the gravitational force and by Newton's third law, the action action and reaction are equal and opposite hence they cancel each other out

The body then moves at a constant uniform motion down according to Newton's first law

Explanation:

At the point the object of mass, m, is dropped from the height of the tower, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force such that the object has an acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity, g, and the gravitational force is therefore = m × g

As the speed of the object increases while the object is falling with the gravitational acceleration the rate at which the object cuts through layers of air which (by Newton's first law of motion, are at rest ) has some buoyancy effect also increases therefore, the object is constantly increasingly changing the momentum of the air which by Newton's second law results, at an high enough velocity, and by Newton's third law, in a force equal to the applied gravitational force

Therefore, the force of the air drag becomes equal to the gravitational force, cancelling each other out and the object then moves according to Newton;s first law, in uniform motion of a constant speed while still falling down.

A family is skating at an ice rink. The 58.2 kg mother is holding the
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

When I got this question I had to draw it out so if you have to do that, draw 3 stick figures holding hands, one representing the mother, father, and daughter. Then you write their weights on top of them and then draw an arrow pointing from the father to the mother.

Explanation:

use this formula :

a_{y} = \frac{Fdadshandy}{msys}

then you fill it in :

a_{y} = \frac{100N}{35.5kg+58.2kg}

a_{y} = \frac{100N}{93.7kg}

a_{y} = 1.0672 m/s^{2}

then you multiply that with the daughters weight :

T_{2} x= m_{2} a_{y}

T_{2} x = 35.5kg (1.0672 m/s^{2})

T_{2} x = 37.89N

and that's the answer :) : 37.89N
