Explanation:

Total Internal Reflection (TIR) is a phenomenon in optics, by which light experiences complete reflection at an interface between two media.

Answer: 3.5 seconds

EXPLANATION:

Using the formula:
v = u + at
And taking the upwards direction as positive, we have the following information:

u = 35 m/s
a = -10m/s^2 (this is acceleration due to gravity)

At the top of its path, the apple will have a velocity of 0 m/s, therefore:

v = 0m/s

Once you substitute everything into the formula, you get:

0 = 35 + (-10)t

Therefore, t = 35/10 = 3.5 seconds

Through what vertical height is a 50 N object moved if 250 J of work is done lifting it against the gravitational field of Earth

zimovet [89]

5m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of object = 50N

Work done in lifting object = 250J

Unknown:

Vertical height = ?

Solution:

The work done on an object is the force applied to lift a body in a specific direction.

Work done = force x distance

Weight is a force in the presence of gravity;

Work done = weight x height of lifting

Height of lifting = $\frac{work done }{weight}$

Height of lifting = $\frac{250}{50}$ = 5m

The vertical height through which the object was lifted is 5m

"A steel rotating-beam test specimen has an ultimate strength of 120 kpsi. Estimate the life of the specimen if it is tested at

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

life (N) of the specimen is 117000 cycles

Explanation:

given data

ultimate strength Su = 120 kpsi

stress amplitude σa = 70 kpsi

solution

we first calculate the endurance limit of specimen Se i.e

Se = 0.5× Su .............1

Se = 0.5 × 120

Se = 60 kpsi

and we know strength of friction f = 0.82

and we take endurance limit Se is = 60 kpsi

so here coefficient value (a) will be

a = $\frac{(f\times Su)^2}{Se}$ ......................1

put here value and we get

a = $\frac{(0.82\times 120)^2}{60}$

a = 161.4 kpsi

so coefficient value (b) will be

b = $-\frac{1}{3}log\frac{(f\times Su)}{Se}$

b = $-\frac{1}{3}log\frac{(0.82\times 120)}{60}$

b = −0.0716

so here number of cycle N will be

N = $(\frac{ \sigma a}{a})^{1/b}$

put here value and we get

N = $(\frac{ 70}{161.4})^{1/-0.0716}$

N = 117000

so life (N) of the specimen is 117000 cycles

19. Find the recoil velocity of a 65 kg ice hockey goalie who

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

c. 0.12 m/s

Explanation:

by using momentum formula $v_2=\frac{m_1\times v_1}{m_1+m_2}$

we get

$v_2=\frac{0.15\times 50}{0.15+65}=0.12$
