Answer:

A) refraction experiment   n = n₁ sin θ₁ / sin θ₂

B)  n_A = 1.19 ,    n_B = 1.53

Explanation:

A) This exercise is a method to measure the refractive index of materials, a very useful and simple procedure is to create a plate of known thickness from each material, place the material on a paper with angle measurements (protractor), incline the laser beam and measure the angles of incidence and refraction (within the material), repeat for about three different angles of incidence and use the equation of refraction to determine the index

            n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

            n₂ = n₁ sin θ₁₁ /sin θ₂

If the medium surrounding the plate is air, its refractive index is n₁ = 1, the final expression is

            n = n₁ sin θ₁ / sin θ₂

B) For this part, no data are given in the exercise, but we can take 50º as the angle of incidence and measure the angle of refraction. Suppose it is 40º for material A and 30º for material B, the refractive index would be

         

material A

             n_A = sin 50 / sin 40

             n_A = 1.19

material B

              n_B = sin 50 / sin30

              n_B = 1.53

An object is floating in equilibrium on the surface of a liquid. The object is then removed and placed in another container, fil
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

Explanation:

According to principle pf floatation , an object floats on the surface of water

when the weight of  liquid displaced by it becomes equal to weight of the object . weight of the liquid depends upon the density of the liquid .

In the second case , when the body is dipped into liquid of lesser density , in order to balance the weight of body , more volume of liquid will be displaced so that weight of displaced liquid becomes equal to object's weight . So the body floats with greater depth inside liquid . The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

Suppose you want to to double a copper wire's resistance. To what temperature, in degrees Celsius, must you raise it if it is or
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

T=280.41 °C

Explanation:

Given that

At T= 24°C Resistance =Ro

Lets take at temperature T resistance is 2Ro

We know that resistance R given as

R= Ro(1+αΔT)

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

For copper wire

α(coefficient of Resistance) = 3.9 x 10⁻³ /°C

Given that at temperature T

R= 2Ro

Now by putting the values

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

2Ro-Ro=Ro αΔT

1 = αΔT

1 = 3.9 x 10⁻³ x ΔT

ΔT = 256.41 °C

T- 24 = 256.41 °C

T=280.41 °C

So the final temperature is 280.41 °C.

a basketball is tossed upwards with a speed of 5.0 m/s What is the maximum height reached by the basketball from its release poi
den301095 [7]

Answer:

1.275 m

Explanation:

Let the maximum height reached be h.

Here initial velocity, u = 5 m/s

Final velocity, V = 0

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

0 = 25 - 2 × 9.8 × h

h = 25/19.6 = 1.275 m

a 100 g cart initially moving at 0.5 m/s collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. a) using the equation in the theory,
cupoosta [38]

A 100 g cart is moving at 0.5 m/s that collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. Final velocity is calculated to be 0.25m/s.

Collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision is known as elastic collision . Momentum and kinetic energy both are conserved quantities in elastic collisions.

Collision in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy is inelastic collision.

For an elastic collision, we use the formula,

m₁V₁i+ m₂V₂i = m₁V1f + m₂V₂f

For a perfectly elastic collision, the final velocity of the 100g cart will each be 1/2 the velocity of the initial velocity of the moving cart.

Final velocity = 0.5/2

=0.25 m/s.

A ball is falling at terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the ball is in equilibrium and the forces are balanced. Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

A free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N.

Explanation:

This is because at terminal velocity, the ball stops accelerating and the net force on the ball is zero. For the net force to be zero, equal and opposite forces must act on the ball, so that their resultant force is zero. That is F₁ + F₂ = 0 ⇒ F₁ = -F₂

Since F₁ = 20 N, then F₂ = -F₁ = -20 N

So, if F₁ points upwards since it is positive, then F₂ points downwards since it is negative.

So, a free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N best describes the ball falling at terminal velocity.
