A laser beam is incident at an angle of 30.0° from the vertical onto a solution of corn syrup in water. The beam is refracted to

dimaraw [331]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Angle of incidence, $i=30^{\circ}$

Angle of refraction, $r=19.24^{\circ}$

a.Refractive index of air, $n_1=1$

We know that

$n_2sinr=n_1sini$

$n_2=\frac{n_1sin i}{sin r}=\frac{sin30}{sin19.24}=1.517$

b.Wavelength of red light in vacuum, $\lambda=632.8nm=632.8\times 10^{-9} m$

$1nm=10^{-9} m$

Wavelength in the solution, $\lambda'=\frac{\lambda}{n_2}$

$\lambda'=\frac{632.8}{1.517}=417nm$

c.Frequency does not change .It remains same in vacuum and solution.

Frequency, $\nu=\frac{c}{\lamda}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{632.8\times 10^{-9}}$

Where $c=3\times 10^8 m/s$

Frequency, $\nu=4.74\times 10^{14}Hz$

d.Speed in the solution, $v=\frac{c}{n_2}$

$v=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1.517}=1.98\times 10^8m/s$

A truck pushes a pile of dirt horizontally on a frictionless road with a net force of 20\, \text N20N20, start text, N, end text

meriva

Answer:

300 Nm ; 300 J

Explanation:

Given that:

Force (F) = 20 N

Distance (d) = 15 m

The kinetic energy (Workdone) = Force * Distance

Kinetic Energy = 20N * 15m

Kinetic Energy = 300Nm

Assume: The bullet penetrates into the block and stops due to its friction with the block. The compound system of the block plus

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The total energy of the composite system is 7.8 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 0.15 m

Radius of circular arc = 0.27 m

Suppose, the entire track is friction less. a bullet with a m₁ = 30 g mass is fired horizontally into a block of wood with m₂ = 5.29 kg mass. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s.

Calculate the total energy of the composite system at any time after the collision.

We need to calculate the total energy of the composite system

Total energy of the system at any time = Potential energy of the system at the stopping point

$E=mgh+Mgh$
