A light beam is traveling inside a glass block that has an index of refraction of 1.46. As this light arrives at the surface of

the block, it makes an angle of 53 degrees with the normal. At what angle with the normal in the air will it leave the block?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Snell's Law. For this case we know that the internal reflection would be subject to the attempt of the ray of light to pass from a high refractive index to a lower one, therefore, mathematically we have to,

$n_1 sin\theta_1 =n_2sin\theta_2$

$n_{1,2}$ = Refractive Index

$\theta_1$ = Incident angel

$\theta_2$ = Refractive angel

Replacing with our values and solving to find \theta_2

$\theta_2 = sin^{-1}(\frac{n_2}{n_1}*sin\theta_1)$

Replacing our values we have that,

$\theta_2 = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.46}{1}*sin(53))$

$\theta_2 = sin^{-1}(1.166)$

Because the angle of refraction is greater than one, there is no possible solution for the ArcSin of the value. This only indicates that the light beam cannot leave the block.

A rope passes over a fixed sheave with both ends hanging straight down. The coefficient of friction between the rope and sheave

Oliga [24]

Answer:3.51

Explanation:

Given

Coefficient of Friction $\mu =0.4$

Consider a small element at an angle \theta having an angle of $d\theta$

Normal Force $=T\times \frac{d\theta }{2}+(T+dT)\cdot \frac{d\theta }{2}$

$N=T\cdot d\theta$

Friction $f=\mu \times Normal\ Reaction$

$f=\mu \cdot N$

and $T+dT-T=f=\mu Td\theta$

$dT=\mu Td\theta$

$\frac{dT}{T}=\mu d\theta$

$\int_{T_2}^{T_1}\frac{dT}{T}=\int_{0}^{\pi }\mu d\theta$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{\mu \pi}$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{0.4\times \pi }$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}==e^{1.256}$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=3.51$

What is force??????<br> ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Gwar [14]

Answer:

A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects. ... Forces only exist as a result of an interaction.

Ice skaters often end their performances with spin turns, where they spin very fast about their center of mass with their arms f

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{30 rev/s}}$

Explanation:

This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).

L = Iω

If momentum is conserved,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Data:

I₁ = 3.5 kg·m²s⁻¹

ω₁ = 6.0 rev·s⁻¹

I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}I_{1}\omega_{1} &= &I_{2}\omega_{2}\\\text{3.5 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times \text{6.0 rev/s} &= &\text{0.70 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times\omega_{2}\\\text{21 rev/s} &= &0.70\omega_{2}\\\omega_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{21 rev/s}}{0.70}\\\\&=&\textbf{30 rev/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The skater's final rotational speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{30 rev/s}}$}$

Consider a sphere and a cylinder of equal volume made of copper. Both the sphere and the cylinder are initially at the same temp

zepelin [54]

Answer: The cylinder

Explanation:

Among all other solid shapes, the sphere has the smallest area for a given volume.

By experiment, the ratio of the radius of a sphere to a cylinder of equal volume is less than 1.

Recall;

That the Rate of transfer of convective heat (Q) = h × A ×change in temperature.

Where ,

h= the co efficient of convective heat transfer

A= the cross sectional area.

As such, since the sphere has a smaller surface area relative to the cylinder, the sphere transfers heat slower than the cylinder.

Therefore, if the sphere and cylinder are exposed to convection in the same environment, then, the cylinder cools faster.

PS; the more the Area, the higher the rate of heat transfer and vice versa.
