What is the critical angle θcrit for light propagating from a material with index of refraction of 1.50 to a material with inde
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The critical angle for light is 41.81 degrees.

Explanation:

We have, light is propagating from a material with index of refraction of 1.50 to a material with index of refraction of 1. It is required to find the critical angle for light. It is angle for which the angle of refraction is equal to 90 degrees. It is given by :

\sin\theta_c=\dfrac{n_2}{n_1}\\\\\theta_c=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n_2}{n_1})\\\\\theta_c=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{1.5})\\\\\theta_c=41.81^{\circ}

So, the critical angle for light is 41.81 degrees.

What is the combined resistance of 5ohms wire arranged in series with a parallel arrangement of 4ohms and 6ohms wires
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

This is a very straightforward problem, and not too difficult to do in your head. If we have two nearly equal resistances, the series resistance (Rs) is twice the average value (midpoint between the two) and the parallel resistance Rp) is approximately equal to half the midpoint value. So a rough initial guess might be 12 and 13 ohms, where Rs is 25 ohms but Rp is approximately 6.25 ohms. Since Rp needs to be lower, we can play around with resistor values. Here’s an easy shortcut:

Let’s start with the equation for two parallel resistors:

Rp = (R1 * R2)/(R1 + R2)

Since Rs = R1 + R2,

Rp = (R1 * R2)/Rs.

We can rewrite this as

Rp * Rs = R1 * R2

Plugging in our numbers (Rp = 6, Rs = 25), we see that R1 + R2 = 150. What two numbers in the vicinity of 12 and 13 have the product of 150 and a sum of 25? Immediately 10 and 15 come to mind! Easy enough!

A spherical shell of radius 3.59 cm and a cylinder of radius 7.22 cm are rolling without slipping along the same floor. The two
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

(ω₁ / ω₂) = 1.9079

Explanation:

Given

R₁ = 3.59 cm

R₂ = 7.22 cm

m₁ = m₂ = m

K₁ = K₂

We know that

K₁ = Kt₁ + Kr₁ = 0.5*m₁*v₁²+0.5*I₁*ω₁²

if

v₁ = ω₁*R₁

and

I₁ = (2/3)*m₁*R₁² = (2/3)*m*R₁²

∴    K₁ = 0.5*m*ω₁²*R₁²+0.5*(2/3)*m*R₁²*ω₁²   <em>(I)</em>

then

K₂ = Kt₂ + Kr₂ = 0.5*m₂*v₂²+0.5*I₂*ω₂²

if

v₂ = ω₂*R₂

and

I₂ = 0.5*m₂*R₂² = 0.5*m*R₂²

∴    K₂ = 0.5*m*ω₂²*R₂²+0.5*(0.5*m*R₂²)*ω₂²   <em>(II)</em>

<em>∵   </em>K₁ = K₂    

⇒   0.5*m*ω₁²*R₁²+0.5*(2/3)*m*R₁²*ω₁² = 0.5*m*ω₂²*R₂²+0.5*(0.5*m*R₂²)*ω₂²

⇒  ω₁²*R₁²+(2/3)*R₁²*ω₁² = ω₂²*R₂²+0.5*R₂²*ω₂²

⇒  (5/3)*ω₁²*R₁² = (3/2)*ω₂²*R₂²

⇒  (ω₁ / ω₂)² = (3/2)*R₂² / ((5/3)*R₁²)

⇒  (ω₁ / ω₂)² = (9/10)*(7.22/ 3.59)²

⇒  (ω₁ / ω₂) = (7.22/ 3.59)√(9/10)

⇒  (ω₁ / ω₂) = 1.9079
