A thin spherical glass shell in air is filled with an unknown liquid. A parallel light beam is incident on the shell, and it is

observed that the light is brought to focus on the surface of the shell directly opposite. What is the refractive index of the liquid?
The anwser is "n=2" but I'm not sure how this was calculated. I was thinking of using Snell's law and small angle approximation considering that this is a thin lens we're working with, but then again my brain doesn't physics very well so I have no idea if this should even be considered for this kind of question. Please help!

Thanks

Use the formula for thin walled lens which is
(n₂-n₁) / r = [n₁ / p] + [n₂ / q]
<span>(n</span>₂<span>-1) / r= [1/oo] + [n</span>₂<span>/ 2r]</span>

The first term on the left is very close to zero.
You can then solve for n₂ which will result to 2.<span />

"A proton is placed in a uniform electric field of 2750 N/C. You may want to review (Page) . For related problem-solving tips an
tekilochka [14]

To solve this problem we will start from the definition of Force, as the product between the electric field and the proton charge. Once the force is found, it will be possible to apply Newton's second law, and find the proton acceleration, knowing its mass. Finally, through the linear motion kinematic equation we will find the speed of the proton.

PART A ) For the electrostatic force we have that is equal to

F=qE

Here

q= Charge

E = Electric Force

F=(1.6*10^{-19}C)(2750N/C)

F = 4.4*10^{-16}N

PART B) Rearrange the expression F=ma for the acceleration

a = \frac{F}{m}

Here,

a = Acceleration

F = Force

m = Mass

Replacing,

a = \frac{4.4*10^{-16}N}{1.67*10^{-27}kg}

a = 2.635*10^{11}m/s^2

PART C) Acceleration can be described as the speed change in an instant of time,

a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

There is not v_i then

a = \frac{v_f}{t}

Rearranging to find the velocity,

v_f = at

v_f = (2.635*10^{11})(1.4*10^{-6})

v_f = 3.689*10^{5}m/s

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

h = 2.64 meters      

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of one ball, m_1=3\ kg

Speed of the first ball, v_1=20\ m/s (upward)

Mass of the other ball, m_2=2\ kg

Speed of the other ball, v_2=-12\ m/s (downward)

We know that in an inelastic collision, after the collision, both objects move with one common speed. Let it is given by V. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

V=\dfrac{3\times 20+2\times (-12)}{3+2}

V = 7.2 m/s

Let h is the height reached by the combined balls of putty rise above the collision point. Using the conservation of energy as :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2

h=\dfrac{V^2}{2g}

h=\dfrac{7.2^2}{2\times 9.8}

h = 2.64 meters

So, the height reached by the combined mass is 2.64 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

The dung beetle is known as one of the strongest animals for its size, often forming balls of dung up to 10 times their own mass
salantis [7]

Answer:

The angular speed of rolling ball is 3.23 rad/sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 1.95 cm

Speed = 6.30 cm/s

Suppose, we need to find the angular speed of rolling  ball

We need to calculate the angular velocity

Using formula of angular velocity

v = r\omega

Where, r = radius

\omega = angular velocity

Put the value into the formula

\omega = \dfrac{v}{r}

\omega =\dfrac{6.30}{1.95}

\omega=3.23\ rad/sec

Hence, The angular speed of rolling ball is 3.23 rad/sec.
