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

What is true weightlessness ?​
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

weightlessness, condition experienced while in free-fall, in which the effect of gravity is canceled by the inertial (e.g., centrifugal) force resulting from orbital flight. ... Excluding spaceflight, true weightlessness can be experienced only briefly, as in an airplane following a ballistic (i.e., parabolic) path.

Convert 4 radians to degrees A. 242.6° B. 9.6° C. 229.2° D. 6.8°
muminat
The central angle of a circle is 360° or 2π radians.

Therefore
1 radian = (360 degrees)/(2π radians) = 180/π degrees/radian.
4 radians = (4 radians)*(180/π degrees/radian) = 229.18 degrees.

Answer: C.  229.2°

A stone is thrown horizontally at 60.0 m/sm/s from the top of a very tall cliff. Calculate its horizontal position and vertical
svp [43]

Answer:

X-Positions:                                         Y-Positions

x(0) = 0                                                   y(0) = 0

x(2) = 120 m                                           y(2) = 19.6 m

x(4) = 240 m                                          y(4) = 78.4 m

x(6) = 360 m                                          y(6) = 176.4 m

x(8) = 480 m                                          y(8) = 313 m

x(10) = 600m                                         y (10) = 490 m

Explanation:

X-Positions

  • First, we choose to take the horizontal direction as our x-axis, and the positive x-axis as positive.
  • After being thrown, in the horizontal direction, no external influence acts on the stone, so it will continue in the same direction at the same initial speed of 60. 0 m/s
  • So, in order to know the horizontal position at any time t, we can apply the definition of average velocity, rearranging terms, as follows:

       x = v_{ox} * t = 60.0 m/s * t(s)

  • It can be seen that after 2 s, the displacement will be 120 m, and each 2 seconds, as the speed is constant, the displacement will increase in the same 120 m each time.

Y-Positions

  • We choose to take the vertical direction as our y-axis, taking the downward direction as our positive axis.
  • As both axes are  perpendicular each other, both movements are independent each other also, so, in the vertical direction, the stone starts from rest.
  • At any moment, it is subject to the acceleration of gravity, g.
  • As the acceleration is constant, we can find the vertical displacement (taking the  height of the cliff as the initial reference level), using the following kinematic equation:

       y = \frac{1}{2} * g* t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 m/s2 * t(s)^{2}

  • Replacing by the values of t, we get the following vertical positions, from the height of the cliff as y = 0:
  • y(2) = 2* 9.8 m/s2 = 19.6 m
  • y(4) = 8* 9.8 m/s2 = 78.4 m
  • y(6) = 18*9.8 m/s2 = 176.4 m
  • y(8) = 32*9.8 m/s2 = 313.6 m
  • y(10)= 50 * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.0 m

A train travels 200km/hr. how much distance will the train be from the station in 2.5 hours?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

500km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed  = 200km/hr

Time taken  = 2.5hrs

Unknown:

Distance  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the speed, time and distance equation.

   Therefore;

  Distance  = Speed x time

So;

  Distance  = 200 x 2.5  = 500km
