Answer:

Y = 176.4 m

Explanation:

For the height of cliff we will analyze the vertical motion. We will apply the 2nd equation of motion:

Y = V₀y*t + (0.5)gt²

where,

Y = Height = ?

V₀y = Initial Vertical Velocity = 0 m/s (since, ball is thrown horizontally)

t = time = 6 s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Y = (0 m/s)(6 s) + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)(6 s)²

<u>Y = 176.4 m</u>

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

\theta_{max} =18.38^o

b

New  n_{cladding} =1.491

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

          The refractive index of the core is  n_{core} = 1.497

         The refractive index of the cladding  is   n_{cladding} = 1.421

Generally according to Snell's law

      n_{core} * sin(90- \theta) = n_{cladding} * sin (90)

Where \theta_{max} is the largest angle a largest angle a ray will make with respect to the interface of the fiber and experience total internal reflection

      \theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{n_{cladding}}{n_{core}} ]

       \theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{1.421}{1.497}} ]

      \theta_{max} =18.38^o

Given from the question the the largest angle is  5°

Generally the refraction index of the cladding is mathematically represented as

           n_{cladding} = n_{core} * sin (90 - 5)

          n_{cladding} =1.491

A horizontal 2.00\ m2.00 m long, 5.00\ kg5.00 kg uniform beam that lies along the east-west direction is acted on by two forces.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: 240\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Length of beam l=2\ m

mass of beam m=5\ kg

Two forces of equal intensity acted in the opposite direction, therefore, they create a torque of magnitude

\tau =F\times l=200\times 2=400\ N.m

Also, the beam starts rotating about its center

So, the moment of inertia of the beam is

I=\dfrac{ml^2}{12}=\dfrac{5\times 2^2}{12}\\\\I=\dfrac{5}{3}\ kg.m^2

Torque is the product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration

\Rightarrow \tau=I\alpha\\\\\Rightarrow 400=\dfrac{5}{3}\times \alpha\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =240\ rad/s^2

Which image illustrates why dark clothing helps to keep you warm on a cool, sunny day?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

I suppose it has to do with the way the diagram is drawn. The heat does not reflect which makes both A and B incorrect.

C would have nothing to do with either reflection or refraction.

That only leaves D which is the answer.
