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°

He pictures show a grassy field that has been abandoned. Which best explains why this is an example of increasing entropy?
solmaris [256]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option D. Which is "Over time, the lawn has naturally become disorderly".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Entropy, the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.
  • It is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.
  • According to above definitions of entropy option D is correct.
  • <u>So entropy of system is randomness/disorder that is increasing with time in case of lawn.</u>

The shuttles main engine provides 154,360 kg of thrust for 8 minutes. If the shuttle accelerated at 29m/s/s, and fires for at le
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

3340800 m far

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that acceleration = 29 m/s²

Time of acceleration = 8 minutes

Then if the shuttle starts from rest, we have

S = u·t+0.5·a·t² where u = 0 m/s = initial velocity

S = distance traveled, m

a = acceleration of the motion, m/s²

t = time of travel

S = 0.5·a·t² = 0.5×29×(8×60)² = 3340800 m far

Why are you able to make someone on a swing have very large swings by only exerting very small forces on them?
Allisa [31]
Because almost all of the force is done by the weight of the person and the mechanism of the swing itself, when you push someone you only give them an increase in velocity, the acceleration comes from the weight at first and then from gravity when the person is coming down, which is why we bend our legs when coming down

Technician A says that hill assist and hill descent controls are added features to some electronic stability control systems. Te
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Both technicians A and B

Explanation:

Both trailer sway control, hill assist and hill descent controls are additional featires that enhance stability of electronics and their control systems. Majorly, these features track and reduce skidding in electronics, therfore, enhancing electronic system stability. During the process, these newly added features help to automatically apply brakes and direct the sytem where the controller wants to take it.
