An unnamed professor is walking to class when an office chair (travelling in the same direction) collides with them. The profess

or fails into the chair and remains in the chair after collision. The professor, with a mass of 113kg, is travelling at 1.56 m/s. The chair has a velocity of 6.5 m/s, and a mass of 10kg. After the collision, and ignoring any effects of professor falling, what would be the speed of the chair professor system

Answer: 1.96 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of Professor m_1=113\ kg

Velocity of professor u_1=1.56\ m/s

mass of chair m_2=10\ kg

velocity of chair u_2=6.5\ m/s

Suppose  after the collision, v is the common velocity

Conserving momentum

\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{113\times 1.56+10\times 6.5}{113+10}=\dfrac{241.28}{123}\\\\\Rightarrow v=1.96\ m/s

Answer:

5. dispersion

6. 49.8°

Explanation:

5. Dispersion is the name given to the phenomenon of light of different wavelengths being bent differently. A rainbow is the result of light from a point source (the sun) being spread out by wavelength (color), a nice example of dispersion.

___

6. n = 1.31 is the ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction to the sine of the angle of incidence (for light passing to a medium of n = 1). When the angle of refraction is 90°, the angle of incidence is the "critical angle." So, ...

sin(90°)/sin(critical) = 1.31

critical angle = arcsin(1/1.31) ≈ 49.8°
