An incident light ray strikes water at an angle of 20 degrees. The index of refraction of air is 1.0003, and the index of refrac

tion of water is 1.33. The angle of refraction rounded to the nearest whole number is °.

In order to find the angle of the refracted ray, we may use the Snell's law (also known as Snell–Descartes law and the law of refraction). This law states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is constant for a given wave when it passes through two different media such as water, glass, or air.
 In mathematical form, this is:

n₁sin(∅₁) = n₂sin(∅₂)
Where:n is the refractive index.

Plugging in the values given into the equation:
1.0003 * sin(20°) = 1.33 * sin(∅)
∅ = 14.91
The angle of refraction is 15°.

How large a force is necessary to stretch a 4.0-mm-diameter steel wire from its original length by 1.0%?
jekas [21]

The force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.

The given parameters include;

  • diameter of the steel, d = 4 mm
  • the radius of the wire, r = 2mm = 0.002 m
  • original length of the wire, L₁
  • final length of the wire, L₂ = 1.01 x L₁ (increase of 1% = 101%)
  • extension of the wire e = L₂ - L₁ = 1.01L₁ - L₁ = 0.01L₁
  • the Youngs modulus of steel, E = 200 Gpa

The area of the steel wire is calculated as follows;

A = \pi r^2\\\\ A= 3.142 \times (0.002)^2\\\\ A= 1.257 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2

The force needed to stretch the wire is calculated from Youngs modulus of elasticity given as;

E = \frac{stress}{strain} = \frac{F/A}{e/L} = \frac{FL}{Ae} \\\\F = \frac{EAe}{L}

F = \frac{200 \times 10^9\  \times\  1.257\times 10^{-5}\  \times \ 0.01l_1}{l_1} \\\\F = 25,140\ N

Thus, the force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.

Calculate the current flowing if a charge of 36 kilocoulombs flows in 1 hour.
o-na [289]

Answer:

Current = 10 Amperes.

Explanation:

Given the following dat;

Quantity of charge, Q = 36 kilocoulombs (KC) = 36 * 1000 = 36000C

Time = 1 hour to seconds = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

To find the current;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting in the equation

36000 = current * 3600

Current = 36000/3600

Current = 10 Amperes.

Consider two children sitting on a merry-go-round, with one closer to the outer edge and one closer to the center. show answer N
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

They both have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for angular speed is:

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}

where w is angular speed, 2\pi is a constant, and T is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).

What we can see from the formula is that, since the 2\pi does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.

In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.

Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by

w=\frac{2\pi}{T} will also be the same
