Answer:

53.06°

Explanation:

refractive index of air = 1

refractive index of water, n = 1.33

Let the angle of polarisation is ip.

Use Brewster's law,

n = tan ip

1.33 = tan ip

ip = 53.06°

thus, the angle of polarisation is  53.06°.

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco
Reika [66]

Answer:

t=750s

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt

x_f is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0

We have x_f_1=x_f_2. Thus, solving for t:

x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s

In a mass spectrometer a particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated through a potential difference V and allowed to enter a
Ghella [55]

Answer:

m = B²qR² / 2 V

Explanation:

If v be the velocity after acceleration under potential difference of V

kinetic energy  = loss of electric potential energy

1/2 m v² = Vq ,

v² = 2 Vq / m ----------------------- ( 1 )

In magnetic field , charged particle comes in circular motion in which magnetic force provides centripetal force

magnetic force = centripetal force

Bqv = mv² / R

v = BqR / m

v² = B²q²R² / m²  ------------------------- (2)

from (1) and (2)

B²q²R² / m²  = 2 Vq / m

m = B²q²R² / 2 Vq

m = B²qR² / 2 V

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 5.0 km/h
Ratling [72]

Answer

given,

time  = 10 s

ship's speed = 5 Km/h

F = m a

a is the acceleration and m is mass.

In the first case

F₁=m x a₁

where a₁ =  difference in velocity / time

F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.

Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278

Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s

a_1=\dfrac{1.39}{10}

a₁ = 0.139 m/s²

F₂ =m x a₂

F₃ = F₂ + F₁

Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278

Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s

a₃=Δv₂ / t

a_3=\dfrac{5.282}{10}

a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s

m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁

0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139

a₂=0.3892 m²/s

F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)

F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)

F₂/F₁

ratio = \dfrac{0.3892}{0.139}

ratio = 2.8

If the area of an iron rod is 10 cm by 0.5 cm and length is 35 cm. Find the value of resistance, if 11x10^-8 ohm.m be the resist
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Resistance of the iron rod, R = 0.000077 ohms    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Area of iron rod, A=10\ cm\times 0.5\ cm=5\ cm^2 = 0.0005\ m^2

Length of the rod, L = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Resistivity of Iron, \rho=11\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the resistance of the iron rod. It is given by :

R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}

R=11\times 10^{-8}\times \dfrac{0.35\ m}{0.0005\ m^2}

R=0.000077 \Omega

So, the resistance of the rod is 0.000077 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.
