Answer:

a) θc = 44.21⁰.

b) θc = 41.14⁰

c)  θc = 40.36⁰

Explanation:

sin θ = \dfrac{n_2}{n_1}

For air,

n₂ = 1

so,

sin θ =  \dfrac{1}{n_1}

(a) fluorite : n₁ = 1.434⁰

sin θ = 0.697                   θc = 44.21⁰.

(b) crown glass: n₁ = 1.52⁰  

sin θ = 0.657                   θc = 41.14⁰.

(c) sodium chloride : n₁= 1.544⁰

sin θ = 0.647                   θc = 40.36⁰.

A 500 kg satellite experiences a gravitational force of 3000 N, while moving in a circular orbit around the earth. Determine the
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Force F = 3,000N

Mass of  satellite m = 500 kg

Mass of earth M = 5.97 × 10²⁴

Gravitational force G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹

Find:

Speed of the satellite.

Computation:

Radius r = √[GMm / F]

Radius r = √[(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )(5.97 × 10²⁴)(500) / (3,000)

Radius r = 8.146 × 10⁶ m

Speed of the satellite V = √rF / m

Speed of the satellite V = √(8.146 × 10⁶)(3,000) / 500

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

A woman walked 115 m. As she did so, her speed increased from 4.20 m/s to 5.00 m/s. How long did it take her to walk this distan
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

25 seconds

Explanation:

Assuming the woman is accelerating at a constant rate of a \;\;m/s^2 from the initial velocity, u=4.20 m/s, to the final velocity, v=5.00 m/s.

Let she takes t seconds to cover the distance, s=115 m.

As acceleration, a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{5-4.2}{t}

\Rightarrow at=0.8\cdots(i)

Now, from the equation of motion

s=ut+\frac 12 at^2

\Rightarrow s=ut+\frac 12 at(t)

\Rightarrow 115=4.2t+\frac 12 \times 0.8 t [ from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow 115=(4.2+0.4)t

\Rightarrow t= 115/4.6 = 25 seconds.

Hence, she takes 25 seconds to walk the distance.

"There are two types of error that can occur when making measurements: systematic and random error. How you correct the error de
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Systematic error can be corrected using calibration of the measurement instrument, while random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements.

Explanation:

Random errors lead to fluctuations around the true value as a result of difficulty taking measurements, whereas systematic errors lead to predictable and consistent departures from the true value due to problems with the calibration of your equipment.

Systematic error can be corrected, by calibration of the measurement instrument. Calibration is simply a procedure where the result of measurement recorded by an instrument is compared with the measurement result of a standard value.

Random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements or by Increasing sample size.

A flexible shaft consists of a 3 mm diameter steel wire in a flexible hollow tube which imposes a frictional torque of 0.04 N m
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

2.5m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the rotational effect of a force on a body.

The torque T for the maximum shear stress is given as 0.1 Nm

Frictional torque is the torque caused by a frictional force

The frictional torque F is given as 0.04 Nm/m

The maximum length of the shaft is thus given as

L = T / F

  = 0.1/0.04

L= 2.5 m
