A light beam is incident on a piece of fluorite (n = 1.434) at the Brewster's angle.

The Brewster angle is the angle can be found through this equation
θ=arctan(n2/n1).
This came from Snell's Law:
n1sinθ=n2sin(90-θ)
          =n2cosθ
n2/n1=tanθ --- θ=arctan(n2/n1)=arctan(1.434)=55.11 degrees

Next, the angle of refraction can be found by using Snell's Law
n1sinθ=n2sinθ'
sin(55.11)=1.434sinθ'
sinθ'=sin(55.11)/1.434=0.572 --- θ'=arcsin(0.572)=34.89 degrees

Assuming the pick-up trucks, trailers and road conditions are exactly the same, which vehicle will take a longer distance to sto
mars1129 [50]

I’ve answered this before so I know the question is missing an important given and that given is: <span>1 has an empty trailer and the other has a fully loaded one. 

So, it would be the fully loaded trailer that would take a longer distance to stop because a lot of weight is being pulled, and when the brakes are started, the fully loaded trailer is more like pushing against the truck.</span>

A steel ball and a piece of clay have equal mass. They are dropped from the same height on a horizontal steel platform. The ball
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The ball (option A)

Explanation: change in momentum is defined by the formulae m(v - u) where m = mass of object, v = final velocity and u = initial velocity.

For the ball, it hits the ground and bounces back with the same speed, that's final velocity equals initials (v = - u)

Change in momentum = m( -u- u) = m(-2u) = m(-2u) = -2mu

For the clay, it final velocity is zero since it sticks to the floor, hence (v =0)

m(v - u) = m(0 - u) = - mu.

-2mu (change in momentum from the ball) is greater than - mu ( change in momentum of clay)

A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90 cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at it
kupik [55]

Answer: The mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

Explanation:

Using the equation of fundamental frequency of a taut string.

f = (1/2L)*√(T/μ) .... (Eqn1)

Where

f= frequency in Hertz =80Hz

T = Tension in the string = Mg

M represent the mass of the substance (sculpture) =?

g= 9.8m/s^2

L= Length of the string=90cm=0.9m

μ= mass density = mass of string /Length of string

mass of string =5g=0.005kg

L=0.9m

μ=0.005/0.9 = 0.0056kg/m

Using (Eqn1)

80= 1/(2*0.9) √(T/0.0056)

144= √(T/0.0056)

Square both sides

20736= T/0.0056

T= 116.12N

Recall that T =Mg

116.12= M * 9.8

M=116.12/9.8

M= 11.8kg

Therefore the mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg
