Which best describes what happens when light traveling through air enters water at an angle? It moves along straight lines in ai
1 answer:
Answer:
It moves along straight lines in air and changes direction when it enters water.
Explanation:
When light travels from one medium to another, it undergoes a phenomenon called refraction: the ray of light changes speed and also direction, but it continues to move in a straight line.
There is a relationship between the direction of the incident ray and the direction of the refracted ray: (Snell's Law)
where
n1 is the index of refraction of the first medium
is the angle that the incident ray forms with the normal to the surface
n2 is the index of refraction of the second medium
is the angle that the refracted ray forms with the normal to the surface

Electric charge on the plastic cube:
Explanation:
The electric potential around a charged sphere (such as the Van der Graaf) generator is given by
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the charge on the sphere
r is the distance from the centre of the sphere
Here we have:
V = 200,000 V on the surface of the sphere, so at r = 12.0 cm
We need to find the voltage V' at 2.0 cm from the edge of the sphere, so at
r' = 12.0 + 2.0 = 14.0 cm
Since the voltage is inversely proportional to r, we can use:
This is the potential at the location of the plastic cube.
Now we can use the law of conservation of energy, which states that the initial electric potential energy of the cube is totally converted into kinetic energy when the plastic cube is at infinite distance from the generator. So we can write:
where:
q is the charge on the plastic cube
V' is the potential at the location of the cube
m = 5.0 g = 0.005 kg is the mass of the cube
v = 3.0 m/s is the final speed of the cube
Solving for q, we find the charge on the cube:

Answer:
Revolutions made before attaining angular velocity of 30 rad/s:
θ = 3.92 revolutions
Explanation:
Given that:
L(final) = 10.7 kgm²/s
L(initial) = 0
time = 8s
<h3>Find Torque:</h3>Torque is the rate of change of angular momentum:
We know that
T = Iα
α = T/I
where I = moment of inertia = 2.2kgm²
α = 1.34/2.2
α = 0.61 rad/s²
<h3>Find Time 't'</h3>
We know that angular equation of motion is:
ω²(final) = ω²(initial) +2αθ
(30 rad/s)² = 0 + 2(0.61 rad/s²)θ
θ = (30 rad/s)²/ 2(0.61 rad/s²)
θ = 24.6 radians
Convert it into revolutions:
θ = 24.6/ 2π
θ = 3.92 revolutions
