What process makes it possible for optical fibers to transmit telephone conversations over long distances?

1 answer:

4 0

A fiber-optic cable is made up of incredibly thin strands of glass or plastic known as optical fibers; one cable can have as few as two strands or as many as several hundred. Light travels down a fiber-optic cable by bouncing repeatedly off the walls. If light hits glass at a really shallow angle (less than 42 degrees), it reflects back in again—as though the glass were really a mirror. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection. It's one of the things that keeps light inside the pipe.

A 150 kg line backer sacks the 120 kg quarterback. With what force is the quarterback sacked if the line backer has an accelerat

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The force required to move the quarterback with linebacker is 1215 N

Explanation:

$\text { Mass of linebacker } \mathrm{m}_{2}=150 \mathrm{kg}$

$\text { Mass of quarterback } \mathrm{m}_{2}=120 \mathrm{kg}$

$\text { Moved at an acceleration }(a)=4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Using Newton's second law, it is established that F = Ma

Where F is net force acting on the system, a is the acceleration and M is mass of the two object $\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right)$

Now consider both $\mathrm{m}_{1} \text { and } \mathrm{m}_{2}$ as a system, so net force acting on the system is $\text { Force }=\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right) a$

Substitute the given values in the above formula,

$\text { Force }=(150+120) \mathrm{kg} \times 4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$\text { Force }=270 \mathrm{kg} \times 4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Force = 1215 N

1215 N is the force required to move the quarterback with linebacker.
