When light passes from one medium to another at an angle, it may refract, or bend, according to Snell's law:
n₁sin(θ₁) = n₂sin(θ₂)
n₁ = index of first medium, θ₁ = angle of incidence, n₂ = index of second medium, θ₂ = angle of refraction
Given values:
n₁ = 1.33 (water), θ₁ = 45.0°, θ₂ = 40.3°
Plug in and solve for n₂:
1.33sin(45.0°) = n₂sin(40.3°)
n₂ = 1.454
I looked up this value on the HyperPhysics indices of refraction table... The index we calculated is closest to 1.46, which is that of fused quartz.
Answer:
4.8 m/s
Explanation:
When she catches the train,
- They will have travelled the same distance.and
- Their speeds will be equal
The formula for the distance covered by the train is
d = ½at² = ½ × 0.40t² = 0.20t²
The passenger starts running at a constant speed 6 s later, so her formula is
d = v(t - 6.0)
The passenger and the train will have covered the same distance when she has caught it, so
(1) 0.20t² = v(t - 6.0)
The speed of the train is
v = at = 0.40t
The speed of the passenger is v.
(2) 0.40t = v
Substitute (2) into (1)
0.20t² = 0.40t(t - 6.0) = 0.40t² - 2.4 t
Subtract 0.20t² from each side
0.20t² - 2.4t = 0
Factor the quadratic
t(0.20t - 2.4) = 0
Apply the zero-product rule
t =0 0.20t - 2.4 = 0
0.20t = 2.4
(3) t = 12
We reject t = 0 s.
Substitute (3) into (2)
0.40 × 12 = v
v = 4.8 m/s
The slowest constant speed at which she can run and catch the train is 4.8 m/s.
A plot of distance vs time shows that she will catch the train 6 s after starting. Both she and the train will have travelled 28.8 m. Her average speed is 28.8 m/6 s = 4.8 m/s.
Mountains can form many ways. a few are when divergent plates move abort and lava comes through the crack evenly forming up to what Hawaii is today. Another is when convergent plates collide moving upward forming mountains.
Answer:
w = 0.55 rad / s
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use the conservation of angular momentum, let's write the moment in two moments
Initial
L₀ = r p + 0
L₀ = r mv
The first term is the angular momentum of the mass
Final
Lf = (I + m r²) w
Where I is the moment of inertia of the stool and the other term is the moment of inertia of the mass
L₀ = Lf
r mv = (I + m r²) w
w = m r v / (I + m r²)
Let's calculate
w = 2.0 0.45 3.0 / (4.5 + 2.0 0.45²)
w = 2.7 / 4.9
w = 0.55 rad / s
Answer: 1. h
Explanation:
The block would reach exactly the same height from the ground. It would travel a greater distance away from the source, but the height away from the earth would remain the same as you are giving it the same energy each time. Therefore, it will reach the same gravitation potential energy.
Another approach to look at it this is seeing it when the Block moves up the slope, its kinetic energy decreases and the potential energy increases. In both cases, the kinetic energy decreases by same amount, therefore the block rises to same height H.
Try to use the formula;
1/2MV2 = mgh
Where V = √(2gh)
I hope this helps
