A paperweight consists of a 9.00-cm thick plastic cube. Within the plastic a thin sheet of paper is imbedded, parallel to opposi

te faces of the cube. On each side of the paper is printed a different joke that can be read by looking perpendicularly straight into the cube. When read from one side (the top), the apparent depth of the paper in the plastic is 4.45 cm. When read from the opposite side (the bottom), the apparent depth of the paper in the plastic is 1.70 cm. What is the index of refraction of the plastic

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the refractive index be μ and the depth of paper from top side be d .

real depth = μ x apparent depth

for top side

d = μ x 4.45

For the lower side ,

9 - d = μ x 1.7

dividing ,

(9 - d )/ d = 1.7 / 4.45

40.05 - 4.45 d = 1.7 d

40.05 = 6.15 d

d = 6.51

Putting this value in first equation ,

6.51 = μ x 4.45

μ = 1.46

On Earth, a brick has a mass of 10 kg and a weight of 5 lbs. What predictions could we make about the mass and weight of the bri
belka [17]

Answer:

Mass remains constant but weight reduces

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.

Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.

Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.

stira [4]

Answer:

The coefficient is 0.90

Explanation:

Drawing a diagram makes thing easier, we will assume that the acceleration tends to zero because it start barely moving.

-F_s+mg*sin(\theta)+F=0\\F_s=57.1kg*9.8m/s^2*sin(28.3)+177N\\F_s=442N\\F_s=\µ*N\\N=m*g*cos(\theta)\\N=57.1*9.8*cos(28.3)=493N\\\\\µ=\frac{442N}{493N}=0.90

makvit [3.9K]

F = m*a

30 N = (ma + mb) * a

30 = 5*a

a = 6 m/s ^2

F de B em A

30 - F de B,A = ma * a

30 - F de B em A = 3 * 6

30 - 18 = F de B em A

12 = F de B em A


Resposta: 6 m/s^2 e 12N
