You can determine the index of refraction of a substance by determining its critical angle. (a) What is the index of refraction

of a substance that has a critical angle of 47.3° when submerged in ethanol, which has an index of refraction of 1.361? (b) What would the critical angle be for this substance in air?

Answer:

a )1.851

b ) 32.68°

Explanation:

The relation between critical angle and index of refraction is as follows

Sin C = 1 / μ

C is critical angle and μ is refractive index.

Given C = 47.3

Sin 47.3 = 1 / μ

0.735 = 1 / μ

μ = 1 / .735

= 1.36

This is with respect to ethanol .

1.36 = refractive index of material /  refractive index of ethanol

refractive index of material = 1.36 x refractive index of ethanol

= 1.36 x 1.361 = 1.851

If critical angle for this substance be A

Sin A = 1 / 1.851 = .54

A = 32.68° .

a student is pushing a 50 kilogram cart with a force of 500 newtons another students measures the speed of the cart and finds th
Irina-Kira [14]

The force of friction is 300 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration. So we can write

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force acting on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

For the cart in this problem, we have two forces acting on it:

- The force of push, F = 500 N, forward

- The force of friction, F_f, backward

So Newton's second law can be rewritten as

F-F_f = ma

where

m = 50 kg

a=4 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the cart

And solving for F_f, we find the force of friction:

F_f = F-ma=500-(50)(4)=300 N

A theory was not originally a hypothesis. true or false?
Serhud [2]
False.

Theories are hypotheses that have been shown to accurately and predictably explain results obtained through repeated experimentation, to the point where the hypothesis can be assumed to be true. Then, such a hypothesis would be considered a theory.
