Sunlight reflected from a smooth ice surface is completely polarized. Determine the angle of incidence. (nice = 1.31.)

Physics
1 answer:
ArbitrLikvidat [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Brewster's law to solve the problem . Let i be the angle of reflection required. According to this law ,

tan i = μ where i is angle of incidence , μ is refractive index of the medium .

Here i = ? , μ = 1.31

tani = 1.31

i = 53° approx .

At the angle of 53° incidence , the reflected ray will be completely polarised .

Technician A says that the battery must be in good condition and at least 75% charged to accurately test an alternator. Technici
aalyn [17]

Answer:Technician A

Explanation:

Technician A statement is correct as  

The battery is required to start the vehicle which, in effect, rotates the alternator at sufficient speed to keep the battery charged. This means if the battery is low it is not possible to start the vehicle and thus we are unable to test the alternator.  

That is the battery is pre-requisite to test the alternator. So the battery must be at least a 75 % charge to test the alternator.

Consider two points in an electric field. The potential at point 1, V1, is 33 V. The potential at point 2, V2, is 175 V. An elec
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Since the electric potential at point 1 is V₁ = 33 V and the electric potential at point 2 is V₂ = 175 V, when the electron is accelerated from point 1 to point 2, there is a change in electric potential ΔV which is given by ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

ΔV = 175 V - 33 V.

ΔV = 142 V

The change in electric potential energy ΔU = eΔV = e(V₂ - V₁) where e = electron charge = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and ΔV = electric potential change from point 1 to point 2 = 142 V.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 142 V

ΔU = -227.484 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

ΔU = -2.27484 × 10⁻²¹ J

ΔU ≅ -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

So, the required equation for the electric potential energy change is

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

Astronomers discover an exoplanet, a planet obriting a star other than the Sun, that has an orbital period of 3.27 Earth years i
Naddik [55]

Answer:

  r = 3.787 10¹¹ m

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using Newton's second law, where force is the force of universal attraction and centripetal acceleration

    F = ma

    G m M / r² = m a

The centripetal acceleration is given by

    a = v² / r

For the case of an orbit the speed circulates (velocity module is constant), let's use the relationship

    v = d / t

The distance traveled Esla orbits, in a circle the distance is

    d = 2 π r

Time in time to complete the orbit, called period

     v = 2π r / T

Let's replace

    G m M / r² = m a

    G M / r² = (2π r / T)² / r

    G M / r² = 4π² r / T²

    G M T² = 4π² r3

     r = ∛ (G M T² / 4π²)

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

     T = 3.27 and (365 d / 1 y) (24 h / 1 day) (3600s / 1h)

     T = 1.03 10⁸ s

Let's calculate

      r = ∛[6.67 10⁻¹¹ 3.03 10³⁰ (1.03 10⁸) 2) / 4π²2]

      r = ∛ (21.44 10³⁵ / 39.478)

      r = ∛(0.0543087 10 36)

      r = 0.3787 10¹² m

      r = 3.787 10¹¹ m
