Answer:

i) angle of incidence;i = 29.43°

ii) δm = 38.92°

Explanation:

Prism is equilateral so angle of prism (A) = 60°

Refractive index of glass; n_glass = 1.52

A) Let's assume the incident angle = i and Critical angle = θc

We know that, sin θc = 1/n

Thus;

sin θc = 1/n_glass

θc = sin^(-1) (1/n_glass)

θc = sin^(-1) (1/1.52)

θc = 41.14°

Now, the angle of prism will be the sum of external angle that is critical angle and reflected angle.

Thus;

A = r + θc

r = A - θc

So;

r = 60° - 41. 14°

r = 18.86°

From, Snell's law. If we apply it to this question, we will have;

(sin i)/(sin r) = n_glass

Where;

i is angle of incidence and r is angle of reflection.

Let's make i the subject;

i = sin^(-1) (n_glass × sin r)

i = sin^(-1) (1.52 × sin 18.86)

i = sin^(-1) 0.4914

i = 29.43°

B) The formula to calculate minimum deviation would be from;

μ = [sin ((A + δm)/2)]/(sin A/2)

Where;

μ is Refractive index

δm is minimum angle of deviation

A is angle of prism

Now Refractive index is given by a formula; μ = (sin i)/(sin r)

So; μ = (sin 29.43)/(sin 18.86)

μ = 1.52

Thus;

1.52 = [sin ((60 + δm)/2)]/(sin 60/2)

1.52 * sin 30 = sin ((60 + δm)/2)

0.76 = sin ((60 + δm)/2)

sin^(-1) 0.76 = ((60 + δm)/2)

49.46 × 2 = (60 + δm)

98.92 - 60 = δm

δm = 38.92°

An object falls from the top of a building that is 25 m high. Air resistance is negligible.
Vlada [557]

The velocity of the object s calculated as 22.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the speed of the object?</h3>

Given that we can write that;

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

Now u = 0 m/s because the object was dropped from a height

v^2 = 2gh

v = √2 * 9.8 * 25

v = 22.1 m/s

A 10 kg bear is running to the right at 10 m/s. He crashes into another 10 kg bear running to the left at -5 m/s. They collide a
faust18 [17]

Answer:

<em>Total momentum is conserved</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The momentum is a physical magnitude that measures the product of the object's velocity by its mass. The total momentum of a system is the sum of all its components' individual momentums. The two-bear system starts with a total moment of  

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(10)(10)+(10)(-50)=50\ kg.m/s

When both bears stick together, the total mass is 20 kg, and the new momentum is

p'=(20)(2.5)=50 \ kg.m/s

We have assumed both bears move to the right after the collision. In this situation, the total momentum is conserved

A rocket of mass 40000kg propelled by a force of 10^6N acquires a speed of 3000m/s determine the power expended
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

3×10⁹ W

Explanation:

Power = work / time

Power = force × distance / time

Power = force × velocity

P = Fv

P = (10⁶ N) (3000 m/s)

P = 3×10⁹ W
