A train at a constant 79.0 km/h moves east for 27.0 min, then in a direction 50.0° east of due north for 29.0 min, and then west

for 37.0 min. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to east) of its average velocity during this trip?

Answer:

Magnitude of avg velocity, |v_{avg}| = 18.9 km/h

\theta' = 56.85^{\circ}

Given:

Constant speed of train, v = 79 km/h

Time taken in East direction, t = 27 min = \frac{27}{60} h

Angle, \theta = 50^{\circ}

Time taken in 50^{\circ}east of due North direction, t' = 29 min =  \frac{29}{60} h

Time taken in west direction, t'' = 37 min =  \frac{27}{60} h

Solution:

Now, the displacement, 's' in east direction is given by:

\vec{s} = vt = 79\times \frac{27}{60} = 35.5\hat{i} km

Displacement in  50^{\circ} east of due North for 29.0 min is given by:

\vec{s'} = vt'sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + vt'cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}

\vec{s'} = 79(\frac{29}{60})sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + 79(\frac{29}{60})cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}

\vec{s'} = 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km

Now, displacement in the west direction for 37 min:

\vec{s''} = - vt''hat{i} = - 79\frac{37}{60} = - 48.72\hat{i} km

Now, the overall displacement,

\vec{s_{net}} = \vec{s} + \vec{s'} + \vec{s''}

\vec{s_{net}} = 35.5\hat{i} + 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} - 48.72\hat{i}

\vec{s_{net}} =  16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km

(a) Now, average velocity, v_{avg} is given:

v_{avg} = \frac{total displacement, \vec{s_{net}}}{total time, t}

v_{avg} = \frac{16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j}}{\frac{27 + 29 + 37}{60}}

v_{avg} = 10.34\hat{i} + 15.83\hat{j}) km/h

Magnitude of avg velocity is given by:

|v_{avg}| = \sqrt{(10.34)^{2} + (15.83)^{2}} = 18.9 km/h

(b) angle can be calculated as:

tan\theta' = \frac{15.83}{10.34}

\theta' = tan^{- 1}\frac{15.83}{10.34} = 56.85^{\circ}

Glass absorbs ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. Would a fraction of the incident UV light be reflected from the air/glass boun
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Any transparent surface in practical is neither a perfect absorber of electromagnetic waves neither a perfect reflector. Generally all the transparent surfaces reflect some amount of irradiation and the other parts are absorbed and transmitted.

<u>That is given by as relation:</u>

\alpha+\rho+\tau=1

where:

\alpha= absorptivity which is defined as the ratio of the absorbed radiation to the total irradiation

\rho= reflectivity is defined as the ratio of reflected radiation to the total irradiation

\tau= transmittivity is defined as the ratio of total transmitted radiation to the total irradiation

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g
mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

n_{r}=1.572

n_{b}=1.587

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}

\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})

\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}

Put the value into the formula

1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}

\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})

\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0

\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.
