Answer:
N = 23.4 N
Explanation:
After reading that long sentence, let's solve the question
The contact force is the so-called normal in this case we can find it by writing the translational equilibrium equation for the y axis
N - w₁ -w₂ =
N = m₁ g + m₂ g
N = g (m₁ + m₂)
let's calculate
N = 9.8 (0.760 + 1.630)
N = 23.4 N
This is the force of the support of the two blocks on the surface.
Question 18: a
question 19: b
question 20: c
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Total internal reflection is bound to occur when light travels from dense medium to less dense.
From the table given in the question above, we obtained:
Refractive Index of Crown glass = 1.52
Refractive Index of Asphalt = 1.635
From the above, Crown glass has a lower refractive index when compared to Asphalt. This means that Crown glass is less dense than Asphalt.
Therefore, total internal reflection will not occur when light travels from Crown glass to Asphalt because Crown glass is less dense than Asphalt.
