A laser beam is incident on a plate of glass that is 2.8 cm thick. The glass has an index of refraction of 1.6 and the angle of

incidence is 36°. The top and bottom surfaces of the glass are parallel. What is the distance b between the beam formed by reflection off the top surface of the glass and the beam reflected off the bottom surface of the glass?

Answer:

 b = 2.22 cm

Explanation:

The laser hits a point where the origin of the coordinate system is to carry out the measurements. When the ray enters the glass the angle of refraction is given by the equation

       n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n₁ is the index of refraction of air n₁ = 1 and n₂ is the index of refraction of glass n₂ = 1.6

       sin θ₂ = n₁ /n₂ sin θ₁

     

       sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.6 sin 36

       sin θ₂ = 0.367

        θ₂ = sin⁻¹ 0.367

        θ₂ = 21.6º

 with this angle and trigonometry we can find the distance x that the ray advances before reaching the bottom of the glass plate

        tan 21.6 = x / d

where d is the thickness of the glass d = 2.8 cm

         x = d tan 21.6

         x = 2.8 tan 21.6

         x = 1.11 cm

 as in the second surface it has a process of reflection the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence θ_reflected = 21.6º, therefore to return to the upper surface recreate the same distance, therefore the total distance is

           b = 2x

           b = 2 1.11

           b = 2.22 cm

A charge q1 of -5.00 x 10^-9 C and a charge q2 of -2.00x 10^-9 C are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. Find the equilibrium po
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the equilibrium position of third charge be x distance from q₁.

Force on third charge due to q₁

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x²

Force on third charge due to q₂

= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

Both the force will act in opposite direction and for balancing , they should be equal.

9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x² = 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

5  / x² = 2 / ( .4 - x )²

Taking square root on both sides

2.236 / x = 1.414 / .4 - x

2.236 ( .4 - x ) = 1.414 x

.8944 - 2.236 x = 1.414 x

.8944 = 3.65 x

x = .245 m

24.5 cm

So the third charge should be at a distance of 24.5 cm from q₁ .

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Technician A says that this is the normal operation of the ETC self -test is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An engine control unit (ECU), also widely referred to as an engine control module (ECM), is a type of electronic control device that controls an internal combustion engine with a series of actuators to ensure maximum engine performance.

It achieves so by reading values from a multitude of sensors within the engine bay, translating data using multidimensional feedback maps (the so-called lookup tables) and modifying the actuators.

Mechanically fixed and dynamically regulated by mechanical and pneumatic means, air-fuel combination, ignition time, and idle speed were before ECUs.

As soon as the system gets battery voltage, after ignition is turned, the efi computer makes a self-test of all the actuators and sensors, included the ETC.

The potential difference between the surface of a 3.0-cm-diameter power line and a point 1.0 m distant is 3.9 kV. Find the line
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The linear charge density is 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

Explanation:

The potential difference between two cylinders, is given as

V = (λ/2πε)ln(b/a)

where;

λ is the line charge density on the power line.

b is the distance between the power line = 1 m

a is the radius of the wire = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

ε is the permittivity of free space = 8.9 X 10⁻¹² C

V*2πε = λ* ln(b/a)

3900 *(2π*8.9 x10⁻¹²)= λ *ln(1/0.015)

2.1812 X 10⁻⁷ = 4.1997* λ

λ = 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

Therefore, the linear charge density is 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m
