Why does a Ray of light passing through a glass slab not shown dispersion?

Answer:

After refraction at two parallel faces of a glass slab, a ray of light emerges in a direction parallel to the direction of incidence of white light on the slab. As rays of all colours emerge in the same direction (of incidence of white light), hence there is no dispersion, but only lateral displacement.

Given that,

Mass of a tribble, m = 2.5 kg

Radius, r = 1.4 m

The force on the tribble from the bucket does not exceed 10 times its weight.

To find,

The maximum tangential speed.

Solution,

The force acting on the tribble is equal to the centripetal force.

F = 10mg

The formula for the centripetal force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

v is maximum tangential speed

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{mgr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{{10gr}} \\\\v=\sqrt{10\times 9.8\times 1.4} \\\\v=11.7\ m/s$

So, the maximum tangential speed is 11.7 m/s.

a moving billiard ball collides with an identical stationary billiard ball in an elastic collision. after the collision, the sec

MArishka [77]

A billiard ball collides with a stationary identical billiard ball to make it move. If the collision is perfectly elastic, the first ball comes to rest after collision.

<h3>Why does the first ball comes to rest after collision ?</h3>

Let m be the mass of the two identical balls.

u1 = velocity before the collision of ball 1

u2 = 0 = velocity of second ball that is at rest

v1 and v2 are the velocities of the balls after the collision.

From the conservation of momentum,

∴ mu1 + mu2 = mv1 + mv2

∴ mu1 = mv1 + mv2

∴ u1 = v1 + v2

In an elastic collision, the kinetic energy of the system before and after collision remains same.

$\frac{1}{2} mu_1^2+0=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2$

∴ $\frac{1}{2} m(v_1+v_2 )^2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2$

∴ $\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2+mv_1 v_2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2$

∴ $mv$ ₁ $v$ ₂ = 0

It is impossible for the mass to be zero.
Because the second ball moves, velocity v2 cannot be zero.
As a result, the velocity of the first ball, v1, is zero, indicating that it comes to rest after collision.

<h3>What is collision ?</h3>

An elastic collision is a collision between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains constant. There is no net transfer of kinetic energy into other forms such as heat, noise, or potential energy in an ideal, fully elastic collision.

Yes, the water in the cup have the same average kinetic energy as the ocean, because I focus on the word 'average'. However the cup of water have less INTERNAL energy than the ocean.
