Let us consider the air with the index 1 and the lucite with index 2. Using the Snell's Secound Law, we have:

$\frac{sen\O_{2}}{sen\O_{1}} = \frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}} \\ sen\O_{2}= \frac{n_{2}*sen\O_{1}}{n_{1}}$

Entering the unknowns, remembering that the air refrective index is 1 and the lucite refrective index is 1.5, comes:

$sen\O_{2}= \frac{n_{2}*sen\O_{1}}{n_{1}} \\ sen\O_{2}= \frac{1.5* \frac{1}{2} }{1} \\ sen\O_{2}=0.75$

Using the arcsin properties, we get:

$sen\O_{2}=0.75 \\ arcsin(0.75)=\O_{2} \\ \boxed {\O_{2}=48.59^o}$

Is an unbalanced charge sometimes called an intense charge?

Crank

This is false. An unbalanced charge, whether negative or positive, is called a <em>static charge</em>. This explains why a balloon 'sticks' to your wool sweater. This is because of the static charge, which is caused by the imbalance of charges due to the electrons losing and gaining energy which is achieved by the mere action of rubbing.

A large balloon of mass 210 kg is filled with helium gas until its volume is 329 m3. Assume the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3 and

Nastasia [14]

(a) See figure in attachment (please note that the image should be rotated by 90 degrees clockwise)

There are only two forces acting on the balloon, if we neglect air resistance:

- The weight of the balloon, labelled with W, whose magnitude is

$W=mg$

where m is the mass of the balloon+the helium gas inside and g is the acceleration due to gravity, and whose direction is downward

- The Buoyant force, labelled with B, whose magnitude is

$B=\rho_a V g$

where $\rho_a$ is the air density, V is the volume of the balloon and g the acceleration due to gravity, and where the direction is upward

(b) 4159 N

The buoyant force is given by

$B=\rho_a V g$

where $\rho_a$ is the air density, V is the volume of the balloon and g the acceleration due to gravity.

In this case we have

$\rho_a = 1.29 kg/m^3$ is the air density

$V=329 m^3$ is the volume of the balloon

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

So the buoyant force is

$B=(1.29 kg/m^3)(329 m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)=4159 N$

(c) 1524 N

The mass of the helium gas inside the balloon is

$m_h=\rho_h V=(0.179 kg/m^3)(329 m^3)=59 kg$

where $\rho_h$ is the helium density; so we the total mass of the balloon+helium gas inside is

$m=m_h+m_b=59 kg+210 kg=269 kg$

So now we can find the weight of the balloon:

$W=mg=(269 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2635 N$

And so, the net force on the balloon is

$F=B-W=4159 N-2635 N=1524 N$

(d) The balloon will rise

Explanation: we said that there are only two forces acting on the balloon: the buoyant force, upward, and the weight, downward. Since the magnitude of the buoyant force is larger than the magnitude of the weigth, this means that the net force on the balloon points upward, so according to Newton's second law, the balloon will have an acceleration pointing upward, so it will rise.

(e) 155 kg

The maximum additional mass that the balloon can support in equilibrium can be found by requiring that the buoyant force is equal to the new weight of the balloon:

$W'=(m'+m)g=B$

where m' is the additional mass. Re-arranging the equation for m', we find

$m'=\frac{B}{g}-m=\frac{4159 N}{9.8 m/s^2}-269 kg=155 kg$

(f) The balloon and its load will accelerate upward.

If the mass of the load is less than the value calculated in the previous part (155 kg), the balloon will accelerate upward, because the buoyant force will still be larger than the weight of the balloon, so the net force will still be pointing upward.

(g) The decrease in air density as the altitude increases

As the balloon rises and goes higher, the density of the air in the atmosphere decreases. As a result, the buoyant force that pushes the balloon upward will decrease, according to the formula

$B=\rho_a V g$

So, at a certain altitude h, the buoyant force will be no longer greater than the weight of the balloon, therefore the net force will become zero and the balloon will no longer rise.

A ________________ in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave

cluponka [151]

The answer is Crest in transverse waves, this is where the particles are closest to each other due to the compression of the longitudinal component of the wave.

The measurement of an exoplanet radius is measured in units compared to

maksim [4K]

<span>After an exoplanet has been identified using a given detection method, scientists attempt to identify the basic properties of the planet which can tell us what it might be made of, how hot it might be, whether or not it contains an atmosphere, how that atmosphere might behave, and finally, whether the planet may be suitable for life. It is often useful to first determine basic properties of the parent star (such as mass and distance from the Earth). This is then followed by the use of planetary detection methods to calculate planetary mass, radius, orbital radius, orbital period, and density. The density calculation will provide clues as to what the planet is made of and whether or not it contains a significant atmosphere. Mass and Distance of Parent Star The mass and distance of an exoplanet's parent star must often be calculated first, before certain measurements of the exoplanet can be made. For example, determining the star's distance is an important step in determining a star's mass (see below). Knowing the mass of a star then allows the mass of the planet to be measured, for example when using the Radial Velocity Method.</span>
