A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is $\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence is $\theta _ i = 56^o$

The refractive index of violet light in diamond is $n_v = 2.46$

The refractive index of red light in diamond is $n_r = 2.41$

The wavelength of violet light is $\lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m$

The wavelength of red light is $\lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m$

Snell's Law can be represented mathematically as

$\frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n$

Where $\theta_r$ is the angle of refraction

=> $sin \theta_r = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}$

Now considering violet light

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}$

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = 0.337$

$\theta_r__{v}} = sin ^{-1} (0.337)$

$\theta_r__{v}} = 19.69^o$

Now considering red light

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}$

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = 0.344$

$\theta_r__{R}} = sin ^{-1} (0.344)$

$\theta_r__{R}} = 20.12^o$

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} - \theta_r__{V}}$

substituting values

$\Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69$

$\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

Normally, jet engines push air out the back of the engine, resulting in forward thrust, but commercial aircraft often have thrus

ANEK [815]

Answer:

When the ejected air is moving in the downward direction then the thrust force acts in the upward direction, due to reversal thrust, the jets can take off vertically without needing a runway this way.

Explanation:

Newton’s third law motion states that for every action there will be an equal and opposite reaction.

Thrust reversal is also known as reverse thrust. It acts opposite to the motion of the aircraft by providing the deceleration.

Commercial aircraft moves the ejected air in the forward direction means that the thrust will acts opposite to the motion of the aircraft that is backward direction due to thrust reversal. This thrust force might be used to decelerate the craft.

Uses of thrust reversal in practice:

When the ejected air is moving forward direction then the thrust force moving backward direction due to reversal thrust the speed of the craft slows down.

a ball of mass 100g moving at a velocity of 100m/s collides with another ball of mass 400g moving at 50m/s in same direction, if

klio [65]

Answer:

Velocity of the two balls after collision: $60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

$100\; \rm J$ of kinetic energy would be lost.

Explanation:

<h3>Velocity</h3>

Because the question asked about energy, convert all units to standard units to keep the calculation simple:

Mass of the first ball: $100\; \rm g = 0.1\; \rm kg$ .
Mass of the second ball: $400\; \rm g = 0.4 \; \rm kg$ .

The two balls stick to each other after the collision. In other words, this collision is a perfectly inelastic collision. Kinetic energy will not be conserved. The velocity of the two balls after the collision can only be found using the conservation of momentum.

Assume that the system of the two balls is isolated. Thus, the sum of the momentum of the two balls will stay the same before and after the collision.

The momentum of an object of mass $m$ and velocity $v$ is: $p = m \cdot v$ .

Momentum of the two balls before collision:

First ball: $p = m \cdot v = 0.1\; \rm kg \times 100\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} = 10\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .
Second ball: $p = m \cdot v = 0.4\; \rm kg \times 50\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} = 20\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .
Sum: $10\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} + 20 \; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} = 30 \; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ given that the two balls are moving in the same direction.

Based on the assumptions, the sum of the momentum of the two balls after collision should also be $30\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ . The mass of the two balls, combined, is $0.1\; \rm kg + 0.4\; \rm kg = 0.5\; \rm kg$ . Let the velocity of the two balls after the collision $v\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . (There's only one velocity because the collision had sticked the two balls to each other.)

Momentum after the collision from $p = m \cdot v$ : $(0.5\, v)\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1$ .
Momentum after the collision from the conservation of momentum: $30\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

These two values are supposed to describe the same quantity: the sum of the momentum of the two balls after the collision. They should be equal to each other. That gives the equation about $v$ :

$0.5\, v = 30$ .

$v = 60$ .

In other words, the velocity of the two balls right after the collision should be $60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object of mass $m$ and velocity $v$ is $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^{2}$ .

Kinetic energy before the collision:

First ball: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.1\; \rm kg \times \left(100\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2} = 500\; \rm J$ .
Second ball: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.4\; \rm kg \times \left(50\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2} = 500\; \rm J$ .
Sum: $500\; \rm J + 500\; \rm J = 1000\; \rm J$ .

The two balls stick to each other after the collision. Therefore, consider them as a single object when calculating the sum of their kinetic energies.

Mass of the two balls, combined: $0.5\; \rm kg$ .
Velocity of the two balls right after the collision: $60\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

Sum of the kinetic energies of the two balls right after the collision:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.5\; \rm kg \times \left(60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 = 900\; \rm J$ .

Therefore, $1000\; \rm J - 900\; \rm J = 100\; \rm J$ of kinetic energy would be lost during this collision.
