Answer:

the index of refraction of the coating is 1.33

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

refraction index of interior portion of the rod η $_{interior$ = 1.55

angle of incidence θ $_i$ = 59.5°

From Snell's law, we know that;

η $_{interior$ × sinθ $_i$ = η $_{coating$ × sinθ $_r$

where η $_{interior$ is the index of refraction of the rod ( material 1 )

θ $_i$ is the angle of incidence

η $_{coating$ is the index of refraction in outer coating ( material 2 )

θ $_r$ is the angle of refraction

so we substitute our values into the equation;

η $_{interior$ × sinθ $_i$ = η $_{coating$ × sinθ $_r$

1.55 × sin( 59.5° ) = η $_{coating$ × sin( 90° )

1.55 × 0.861629 = η $_{coating$ × 1

1.3355 = η $_{coating$ × 1

η $_{coating$ = 1.33 { 2 decimal places }

Therefore, the index of refraction of the coating is 1.33

padilas [110]

Explanation:

The weight of the car is equal to, $W_c=m\times g$ ...........(1)

Where

m is the mass of car

g is the acceleration due to gravity

The normal or vertical component of the force is, $F_N=mg\ cos\theta$

or

$F_N=mg\ cos(13)$ .............(2)

The horizontal component of the force is, $F_H=mg\ sin\theta$

Taking ratio of equation (1) and (2) as :

$\dfrac{F_N}{W_c}=\dfrac{mg\ cos\theta}{mg}$

$\dfrac{F_N}{W_c}=cos(13)$

$\dfrac{F_N}{W_c}=0.97$

or

$\dfrac{F_N}{W_c}=\dfrac{97}{100}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Line segment Q R , Line segment R S and Line segment S Q are midsegments of Î"WXY. Triangle R Q S is inside triangle X Y W. Poin

Whitepunk [10]

The perimeter of ΔWXY is : ( D ) 14.5 cm

<u>Calculating the </u><u>perimeter </u><u>of ΔWXY</u>

QR = WY / 2

RS = XW / 2

QS = XY / 2

Given that : QR = 2.93 cm , RS = 2.04 cm, QS = 2.28 cm

Therefore

Perimeter of ΔWXY = ∑ WY + XW + XY

= 2SR + 2QS + 2QR

= 2(2.04) + 2(2.28) + 2(2.93)

= 14.5 cm

Hence we can conclude that the perimeter of ΔWXY = 14.5 cm

A child on a sled slides (starting from rest) down an icy slope that makes an angle of 15◦ with the horizontal. After sliding 20

Answer:

A) v₁ = 10.1 m/s t₁= 4.0 s

B) x₂= 17.2 m

C) v₂=7.1 m/s

D) x₂=7.5 m

Explanation:

A)

Assuming no friction, total mechanical energy must keep constant, so the following is always true:

$\Delta K + \Delta U = (K_{f} - K_{o}) +( U_{f} - U_{o}) = 0 (1)$

Choosing the ground level as our zero reference level, Uf =0.
Since the child starts from rest, K₀ = 0.
From (1), ΔU becomes:
$\Delta U = 0- m*g*h = -m*g*h (2)$
In the same way, ΔK becomes:
$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}*m*v_{1}^{2} (3)$
Replacing (2) and (3) in (1), and simplifying, we get:

$\frac{1}{2}*v_{1}^{2} = g*h (4)$

In order to find v₁, we need first to find h, the height of the slide.
From the definition of sine of an angle, taking the slide as a right triangle, we can find the height h, knowing the distance that the child slides down the slope, x₁, as follows:

$h = x_{1} * sin \theta_{1} = 20.0 m * sin 15 = 5.2 m (5)$

Replacing (5) in (4) and solving for v₁, we get:

$v_{1} = \sqrt{2*g*h} = \sqrt{2*9.8m/s2*5.2m} = 10.1 m/s (6)$

As this speed is achieved when all the energy is kinetic, i.e. at the bottom of the first slide, this is the answer we were looking for.
Now, in order to finish A) we need to find the time that the child used to reach to that point, since she started to slide at the its top.
We can do this in more than one way, but a very simple one is using kinematic equations.
If we assume that the acceleration is constant (which is true due the child is only accelerated by gravity), we can use the following equation:

$v_{1}^{2} - v_{o}^{2} = 2*a* x_{1} (7)$

Since v₀ = 0 (the child starts from rest) we can solve for a:

$a = \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2*x_{1} } = \frac{(10.1m/s)^{2}}{2* 20.0m} = 2.6 m/s2 (8)$

Since v₀ = 0, applying the definition of acceleration, if we choose t₀=0, we can find t as follows:

$t_{1} =\frac{v_{1} }{a} =\frac{10.1m/s}{2.6m/s2} = 4.0 s (9)$

B)

Since we know the initial speed for this part, the acceleration, and the time, we can use the kinematic equation for displacement, as follows:

$x_{2} = v_{1} * t_{2} + \frac{1}{2} *a_{2}*t_{2}^{2} (10)$

Replacing the values of v₁ = 10.1 m/s, t₂= 2.0s and a₂=-1.5m/s2 in (10):

$x_{2} = 10.1m/s * 2.0s + \frac{1}{2} *(-1.5m/s2)*(2.0s)^{2} = 17.2 m (11)$

C)

From (6) and (8), applying the definition for acceleration, we can find the speed of the child whem she started up the second slope, as follows:

$v_{2} = v_{1} + a_{2} *t_{2} = 10.1m/s - 1.5m/s2*2.0s = 7.1 m/s (12)$

D)

Assuming no friction, all the kinetic energy when she started to go up the second slope, becomes gravitational potential energy when she reaches to the maximum height (her speed becomes zero at that point), so we can write the following equation:

$\frac{1}{2}*v_{2}^{2} = g*h_{2} (13)$

Replacing from (12) in (13), we can solve for h₂:

$h_{2} =\frac{v_{2} ^{2}}{2*g} = \frac{(7.1m/s) ^{2}}{2*9.8m/s2} = 2.57 m (14)$

Since we know that the slide makes an angle of 20º with the horizontal, we can find the distance traveled up the slope applying the definition of sine of an angle, as follows:

$x_{3} = \frac{h_{2} }{sin 20} = \frac{2.57m}{0.342} = 7.5 m (15)$
