Answer:

x is the displacement of spring

Explanation:

The Hooke's law gives the force acting on the spring when it is compressed or stretched. The mathematical expression for force is given by :

$F=-kx$

Where

k is the spring constant of and it shows the stiffness of spring.

x shows the displacement of spring when it is stretched or compressed from equilibrium position and it acts in opposite direction.

Given a 45 45 90 prism with index of 1.5, immersed in air. The hypotenuse acts as the reflecting face by TIR. A ray of light ent

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

83.6°

Explanation:

For the ray to be totally internally reflected, at the boundary, the angle of refraction is 90. Using the law of refraction where

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂ where n₁ = refractive index of prism = 1.5, θ₁ = critical angle in prism, n₂ = refractive index of air = 1 and θ₂ = refractive angle = 90°.

So, substituting these values into the equation,

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

1.5 × sinθ₁ = 1 × sin90

1.5 × sinθ₁ = 1

sinθ₁ = 1/1.5

sinθ₁ = 0.6667

θ₁ = sin*(0.6667)

θ₁ = 41.8°

So, for total internal reflection, an incidence angle of 41.8° is required. So, a full convergence angle of 2 × 41.8° = 83.6° is required for the whole bundle of rays.

A world-class sprinter running a 100 m dash was clocked at 5.4 m/s 1.0 s after starting running and at 9.8 m/s 1.5 s later. In w

Answer:

<em>The output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Physical Power </u>

It measures the amount of work W an object does in certain time t. The formula needed to compute power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}$

Work can be computed in several ways since we are given the motion conditions, we'll use this formula, for F= applied force, x=distance parallel to F

$W=F.x$

The second Newton's law gives us the net force as

$F=m.a$

being m the mass of the object and a the acceleration it has for a given period of time. In our problem, we have two different behaviors for each interval and we must calculate this force since the acceleration is changing. Let's calculate the acceleration in the first interval. We can use the formula for the final speed vf knowing the initial speed vo (which is 0 because the sprinter starts from rest), the acceleration a, and the time t:

$v_f=v_o+at$
