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°

A boat is traveling at an initial velocity of 2.7 meters per second in the positive direction. It accelerates at a rate of 0.15
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.5 \ m/s \ in \ the  \ positive \ direction}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the final velocity of the boat.

We are given the initial velocity, acceleration, and time. Therefore, we will use the following kinematic equation.

v_f= v_i + at

The initial velocity is 2.7 meters per second. The acceleration is 0.15 meters per second squared. The time is 12 seconds.

  • v_i= 2.7 m/s
  • a= 0.15 m/s²
  • t= 12 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s)

Multiply the numbers in parentheses.

v_f= 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s/s * 12 \ s)

v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s *12)

\v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)

Add.

v_f=4.5 \ m/s

The final velocity of the boat is <u>4.5 meters per second in the positive direction.</u>

We have seen that starlight passing through the interstellar medium is dimmed and reddened. Look at the photo of a sunset on Ear
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reddening of sun's rays at sunset and sunrise is due to scattering of light . The white light consisting of seven colours coming from the sun are scattered in different directions when they fall on the air particles present in atmosphere . Red coloured light scatters least and it travels straight forward to the viewer on the earth . On the other hand other colours scatter most and therefore they go out of area of vision for the viewer on the earth . Since only red colour reaches the eye of the viewer , sun's ray appear red . This happens during sunrise and sunset . It is so because during this period , sun rays travel far greater distance through  atmosphere , so scattering is most pronounced .

A force of 14 N acts on a 5 kg object for 3 seconds.
DiKsa [7]

Answer: a) 42Nm b) 8.4m/s

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as object change in momentum.

Since Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.

F = m(v-u)/t

Cross multiply

Ft = m(v-u)

Since impulse = Ft

and Ft = m(v-u)... (1)

The object change in velocity (v-u) = Ft/m from eqn 1

Going to the question;

a) Impulse = Force (F) × time(t)

Given force = 14N and time = 3seconds

Impulse = 14×3

Impulse = 42Nm

b) The object change in velocity (v-u) = Ft/m where mass = 5kg

v-u = 14×3/5

Change in velocity = 42/5 = 8.4m/s
