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 aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

1822.14 J/kg C

Explanation:

Mass of aluminum  = 0.100 kg

Mass of Water = 0.250 kg

Mass of copper = 0.300 kg

Mass of unknown object = 0.70 kg

Initial temperature of Aluminum = 10 C

Initial  temperature  of water = 10 C

Initial temperature of copper = 30 C

Initial temperature of = 100 C

Final temperature of all substances = 20 C

Change in temperature of each  of them Aluminum, water , copper and unknown material  respectively = 10 C , 10 C , -10 C, -80 C respectively

Specific heat of  each  of them Aluminum, water , copper and unknown material  respectively = 900,4186,387 and c respectively.

Heat gained by aluminum and water = (0.1)(900)(10) + (0.250)(4186)(10) = 11365 j

heat lost by copper and unknown  material  =(0.3)(387)(-10) = -1161

heat lost by unknown  material  =  (0.070)(c)(-80) = -5.6 c

Now solve for c using the calorimetry principle.

Heat lost + Heat gained = 0

⇒ -5.6 c = -11365 - (-1161) = -10204 j

Specific heat of unknown material = - 10204 / -5.6

                                                         = 1822.14  j/kg C  

b) Material having a specific heat of 1800 j /kg C is

Polyurethane elastomer.

How am I supposed to solve this?
RSB [31]

Answer:

4.02 km/hr

Explanation:

5 km/hr = 1.39 m/s

The swimmer's speed relative to the ground must have the same direction as line AC.

The vertical component of the velocity is:

uᵧ = us cos 45

uᵧ = √2/2 us

The horizontal component of the velocity is:

uₓ = 1.39 − us sin 45

uₓ = 1.39 − √2/2 us

Writing a proportion:

uₓ / uᵧ = 121 / 159

(1.39 − √2/2 us) / (√2/2 us) = 121 / 159

Cross multiply and solve:

159 (1.39 − √2/2 us) = 121 (√2/2 us)

220.8 − 79.5√2 us = 60.5√2 us

220.8 = 140√2 us

us = 1.115

The swimmer's speed is 1.115 m/s, or 4.02 km/hr.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

- Peat soil

- Loamy soil

- Clay soil

Explanation:

Peat soil is dark, highly decomposed organic matter found in soil.

Loamy soil is a mixture of materials that holds moisture and drains well and also contains coarse grains and allows water to drain quickly.

Clay soil contains medium grains and retains water. Also it contains fine grains and has little space for water.

A football punter accelerates a .55 kg football
Ronch [10]

Answer:

17.6 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the punter on the football is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the football:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta p is the change in momentum of the football

\Delta t=0.25 s is the time elapsed

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the football

u = 0 is the initial  velocity (the ball starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

Combining the two equations and substituting the values, we  find the force exerted on the ball:

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.55)(8.0-0)}{0.25}=17.6 N
