Dan confirms the authenticity of an amethyst stone by a few tests. During one of the tests, he finds the angle of the refracted

ray of light coming out of the amethyst into the air as 28°. If the refractive index of amethyst is 1.55, what is the incident angle?

Snell's law.
n_{1}*sin  \alpha _{1}= n_{2}*sin  \alpha _{2}
1=incident
2=refracted
Since it's coming out of the amethyst into air:
n1=1.55
n2=1.0003
sin  \alpha _{2} = sin28°

Substituting back into Snell's equation we get sin  \alpha _{1}=0.303 so the angle is \alpha _{1}=arcsin0.303=17.6°

A person slaps her leg with her hand, bringing her hand to rest in 2.50 milliseconds from an initial speed of 4.00 m/s.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

(a) 2400N

(b) Yes

Explanation:

(a) Mass (m) = 1.5kg, initial speed (v) = 4m/s, time (t) = 2.5milliseconds = 2.5/1000 = 0.0025seconds

F = mv/t = (1.5×4)/0.0025 = 6/0.0025 = 2400N

(b) The force would be different because the mass of the two hands and forearms is 3kg (2 × 1.5kg = 3kg)

body is suspended from the ceiling with two wires that make an angle of 40° with the ceiling. The weight of the body is 150N. Wh
steposvetlana [31]
<span>The wires are suspended diagonally, meaning the tension in each is directed diagonally as well (along the wire). We can, however, talk about the horizontal and vertical components of the tension force. The horizontal tension force in each wire is Tcosθ, while the vertical tension force is Tsinθ. The horizontal tension forces balance one another, because the wires are pulling in opposite directions. This means Tcosθ=Tcosθ, which is obvious but not very helpful. If you look at the vertical tension forces on the other hand, you can see that they must balance the weight of the body for the system to be in equilibrium. In other words: Tsinθ+Tsinθ=mg You're given enough information in the question to solve for T using this equation!</span>

Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a jet flying at 950 km/h at an altitude of 10 km to the drag force on a prop-driven tra
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

\frac{F_1}{F_2}=3.55

Explanation:

F = Force

C = Drag coefficient equal for both aircrafts

ρ = Density of air

A = Surface area equal for both aircrafts

v = Velocity

v_2=\frac{2}{5}v_1

F_1=\frac{1}{2}\rho_1 CAv_1^2

F_2=\frac{1}{2}\rho_2 CAv_2^2\\\Rightarrow F_2=\frac{1}{2}\rho_2 CA\left(\frac{2}{5}v_1\right)^2

Dividing the above two equations we get

\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\rho_1 CAv_1^2}{\frac{1}{2}\rho_2 CA\left(\frac{2}{5}v_1\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2\frac{4}{25}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{0.38}{0.67\frac{4}{25}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{F_2}=3.55

The ratio of the drag forces is \mathbf{\frac{F_1}{F_2}}=\mathbf{3.55}

The speed of sound I gases depends on <br> a humidity <br> b air<br> c temperature <br> d visibility
Mazyrski [523]

The speed of sound in gases is represented mathematically as:

v(sound)  = √γRT/M

where γ = adiabatic constant which is the ratio of the heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume; Cp/Cv

R = gas constant

T = temperature

M = molar mass of the gas

Hence, the speed of sound in gas is directly proportional to the square root of temperature.

Ans: c) temperature

How do Earth spheres interact?
Masja [62]
All the spheres interact with other spheres. For example, rain (hydrosphere) falls from clouds in the atmosphere to the lithosphere and forms streams and rivers that provide drinking water for wildlife and humans as well as water for plant growth (biosphere). ... Flooding rivers wash away soil.
