3. The polarizing (or Brewster) angle is defined as the angle of incidence at a boundary between two media, for which the reflec

ted and the refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. If the polarizing angle for light traveling in air reflecting off a certain type of glass is 53°, what is the speed of light in the glass? a) 1.80×108 m/s b) 1.60×108 m/s c) 2.26×108 m/s d) 2.52×108 m/s e) 2.02×108 m/s

Answer:

Speed of light in the glass v=2.26\times 10^8 ms^{-1}

Explanation:

In this question we have given

angle of polaization,p=53^o

we have to find the speed of light in the glass,v=?

We know that, refractive index of glass can be determined by following formula

n=\frac{c}{v}................(1)

here,

c- speed of light in air

v-speed of light in glass

we also know according to brewester's law refrective index of glass is given as

n=tanp......................(2)

here p-angle of polarization

From equation (1) and equation (2)

we got

\frac{c}{v}=tanp

put value of c=3\times 10^8 ms^{-1} and p=53^o in equation 3

we got

\frac{3\times 10^8 ms^{-1}}{v}=tan53

v=\frac{3\times 10^8 ms^{-1}}{tan53}\\v=\frac{3\times 10^8 ms^{-1}}{1.32}\\v=2.26\times 10^8 ms^{-1}

Which produces more gravitational force on your textbook: you or the earth?
Yuri [45]
The earth obviously because it is on Earth like we are and it has the same gravital properties. It falls when you drop it and rises when you pick it up

In a 400-m relay race the anchorman (the person who runs the last 100 m) for team A can run 100 m in 9.8 s. His rival, the ancho
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

largest lead = 3 m

Explanation:

Basically, this problem is about what is the largest possible distance anchorman for team B can have over the anchorman for team A when the final leg started that anchorman for team A won the race. This show that anchorman for team A must have higher velocity than anchorman for team B to won the race as at the starting of final leg team B runner leads the team A runner.

So, first we need to calculate the velocities of both the anchorman  

given data:

Distance = d = 100 m

Time arrival for A = 9.8 s

Time arrival for B = 10.1 s

Velocity of anchorman A = D / Time arrival for A

=100/ 9.8 = 10.2 m/s

Velocity of anchorman B = D / Time arrival for B

=100/10.1 = 9.9 m/s

As speed of anchorman A is greater than anchorman B. So, anchorman A complete the race first than anchorman B. So, anchorman B covered lower distance than anchorman A. So to calculate the covered distance during time 9.8 s for B runner, we use

d = vt

= 9.9 x 9.8 = 97 m  

So, during the same time interval, anchorman A covered 100 m distance which is greater than anchorman B distance which is 97 m.

largest lead = 100 - 97 = 3 m

So if his lead no more than 3 m anchorman A win the race.

Speed of 26.7 m/s in 3.06 s. How far had the car traveled by the time the final speed was achieved?
Alik [6]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

You can use this equation to find the distance :

     distance = velocity x time

     distance = (26.7)(3.06)

                    = 81.702 m

Rounding to 3 sig figs

     = 81.7 m

Hope this helps
