Answer:

θ₁ = cos⁻¹ (n₁ / 2n₂)

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the law of refraction

       n₁ sint θ₁ = n₂. sin θ₂

Where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices for the two media, θ₁ and θ₂, the angles of incidence and refraction

They tell us that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle refracted over 2

    θ₁ = θ₂ / 2

    θ₂ = 2 θ₁

Let's replace

    n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

    sin 2θ = 2 sinθ cos θ

    n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ (2 sin θ₁ cos θ₁)

    n₁ = n₂ cos θ₁

    cos θ₁ = n₁ / 2 n₂

    θ₁ = cos⁻¹ (n₁ / 2n₂)

Therefore, the angle of incidence is

   θ₁ = cos⁻¹ (n₁ / 2n₂)

How much is the velocity of a body when it travels 600m in 5 minutes?​
maks197457 [2]

answer

so unit of velocity is m/s

displacement=600m

5minutes should be converted to seconds

5×60=300 seconds

so,

velocity= displacement÷time

= 600m ÷300s

=2m/s or 2ms^-1

Neurons in our bodies carry weak currents that produce detectable magnetic fields. A technique called magnetoencephalography, or
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

I = (1.80 × 10⁻¹⁰) A

Explanation:

From Biot Savart's law, the magnetic field formula is given as

B = (μ₀I)/(2πr)

B = magnetic field = (1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵) T

μ₀ = magnetic constant = (4π × 10⁻⁷) H/m

r = 3.6 cm = 0.036 m

(1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵) = (4π × 10⁻⁷ × I)/(2π × 0.036)

4π × 10⁻⁷ × I = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵ × 2π × 0.036

I = (1.80 × 10⁻¹⁰) A

Hope this Helps!!!

A tennis ball connected to a string is spun around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed. The ball has a mass m = 0.15
Oksanka [162]

1) 5.5 N

When the ball is at the bottom of the circle, the equation of the forces is the following:

T-mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

where

T is the tension in the string, which points upward

mg is the weight of the string, which points downward, with

m = 0.158 kg being the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 being the acceleration due to gravity

m \frac{v^2}{R} is the centripetal force, which points upward, with

v = 5.22 m/s being the speed of the ball

R = 1.1 m being the radius of the circular trajectory

Substituting numbers and re-arranging the formula, we find T:

T=mg+m\frac{v^2}{R}=(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)+(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=5.5 N

2) 3.9 N

When the ball is at the side of the circle, the only force acting along the centripetal direction is the tension in the string, therefore the equation of the forces becomes:

T=m\frac{v^2}{R}

And by substituting the numerical values, we find

T=(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=3.9 N

3) 2.3 N

When the ball is at the top of the circle, both the tension and the weight of the ball point downward, in the same direction of the centripetal force. Therefore, the equation of the force is

T+mg=m\frac{v^2}{R}

And substituting the numerical values and re-arranging it, we find

T=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(0.158 kg)\frac{5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}-(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2.3 N

4) 3.3 m/s

The minimum velocity for the ball to keep the circular motion occurs when the centripetal force is equal to the weight of the ball, and the tension in the string is zero; therefore:

T=0\\mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

and re-arranging the equation, we find

v=\sqrt{gR}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(1.1 m)}=3.3 m/s

A cylinder of mass 14.0 kg rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. At a certain instant its center of mass has a speed o
aev [14]

Answer:

a) 567J

b) 283.5J

c)850.5J

Explanation:

The expression for the translational kinetic energy is,

E_r = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Substitute,

14kg for m

9m/s for v

E_r = \frac{1}{2} (14) (9)^2\\= 567J

The translational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 567J

(B)

The expression for the rotational kinetic energy is,

E_R = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2

The expression for the moment of inertia of the cylinder is,

I = \frac{1}{2} mr^2

The expression for angular velocity is,

w = \frac{v}{r}

substitute

1/2mr² for I

and vr for w

in equation for rotational kinetic energy as follows:

E_R = (\frac{1}{2}) (\frac{1}{2} mr^2)(\frac{v}{r} )^2

= \frac{mv^2}{4}

E_R = \frac{14 \times 9^2 }{4} \\\\= 283.5J

The rotational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 283.5J

(c)

The expression for the total energy is,

E = E_r + E_R\\\\

substitute 567J for E(r) and 283.5J for E(R)

E = 567J + 283.5\\= 850.5J

The total energy of the cylinder is 850.5J
