A beam of light traveling in air strikes a slab of transparent material. The incident beam makes an angle of 40° with the normal

Molodets [167]

Answer:

V = 2.05× 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

The angle of the incidence; i = 40°

Angle of refraction; (r) = 26°

For us to find the speed of light in the material, we'll use Snell's law

From shell's law, we know that;

n = sin i/sin r = speed of light in air/Speed of light in the medium

Now, speed of light in air = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Lets speed of light in medium be V

Thus, plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Sin 40°/sin 26° = 3×10⁸/V

Let's make V the subject;

V = 3 × 10⁸× sin 26°/sin 40°

V = 2.05× 10⁸ m/s

The 1.5-kg collar C starts from rest at A and slides with negligible friction on the fixed rod in the vertical plane. Determine

arlik [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

check attached image for figure, there is supposed to be a figure for this question containing a distance(height of collar at position A) but i will assume 0.2m or 200mm

Consider the energy equilibrium of the system

$U_{A-B}=\bigtriangleup T\\\\F\cos 30°\times h_A - F\sin30°\times h_A + Wh_A=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2_B-v^2_A)\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{2Fh_A(\cos 30° - \sin30°)+mgh_A}{m+v^2_A}}$

Here, F is the force acting on the collar, $h_A$ is the height of the collar at position A, m is the mass of the collar C, g is the acceleration due to gravity, $v_B$ is the velocity of the collar at position B, and $v_A$ is the velocity of the collar at A

Substitute 14.4N for F, 0.2m for $h_A$ , 1.5kg for m, $9.81m/s^2$ for g and 0 for $v_A$

$v_B=\sqrt{\frac{2(14.4\times 0.2(\cos 30° - \sin30°)+1.5\times 9.81\times 0.2}{1.5+0}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{6.618}{1.5}}\\\\=4.412m/s$

Therefore, the velocity at which the collar strikes the end B is 4.412m/s

A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 7.95 m/s, from a height of 29.0 m. After what time interval does it

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: after 1.75 seconds

Explanation:

The only force acting on the ball is the gravitational force, so the acceleration will be:

a = -9.8 m/s^2

the velocity can be obtained by integrating over time:

v = -9.8m/s^2*t + v0

where v0 is the initial velocity; v0 = -7.95 m/s.

v = -9.8m/s^2*t - 7.95 m/s.

For the position we integrate again:

p = -4.9m/s^2*t^2 - 7.95 m/s*t + p0

where p0 is the initial position: p0 = 29m

p = -4.9m/s^2*t^2 - 7.95 m/s*t + 29m

Now we want to find the time such that the position is equal to zero:

0 = -4.9m/s^2*t^2 - 7.95 m/s*t + 29m

Then we solve the Bhaskara's equation:

$t = \frac{7.95 +- \sqrt{7.95^2 +4*4.9*29} }{-2*4.9} = \frac{7.95 +- 25.1}{9.8}$

Then the solutions are:

t = (7.95 + 25.1)/(-9.8) = -3.37s

t = (7.95 - 25.1)/(-9.8) = 1.75s

We need the positive time, then the correct answer is 1.75s

Bullets from two revolvers are fired with the same velocity. The bullet from gun #1 is twice as heavy as the bullet from gun #2.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

Let mass of the bullet be m and velocity be v

mass of gun be M and bullet be V

now,

using conservation of momentum for gun 1

(M+m) V' = 2 mv + 3 MV

V' = 0

3 M V = - 2 mv

momentum of gun 1 =- 2 mv---------(1)

now for gun 2

(M+m) V' = mv + MV

V' = 0

M V = - mv

momentum of gun 1 = -mv-----------(2)

dividing equation (1) by (2)

$\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{- 2mv}{-mv}$

$\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{2}{1}$

the correct answer is option C
