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° .

If a bust starts to move and its velocity becomes 90 km after 8 seconds . calculate its acceleration answer it quick please
kherson [118]

Answer:

a = 3.125 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of kinematics. But first, we have to convert the speed of 90 [km/h] to meters per second.

90\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}   \\= 25 \frac{m}{s}

v_{f} =v_{i} + (a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 25 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t  = time = 8 [s]

The initial speed is zero as the bus starts to koverse from rest. The positive sign of the equation means that the bus increases its speed.

25 = 0 + a*8

a = 3.125 [m/s^2]

1-A train travels 100 km to reach town A in one hour and 15 min. The train stops at station A for 45 minutes. Then it travels 15
kirill [66]

Answer 1) : 62.5 km/hour is the average velocity of the train.

2) The final velocity of the car at the end of 75 m is 14.69 m/s

Explanation:

1) Displacement of the train = 100 km + 150 km = 250 km

Total time train took =1 hour 15 min+ 45 min + 2 hours = 240 min = 4 hours

Average velocity=\frac{Displacement}{time}=\frac{250 km}{4 hour}=62.5 km/h

62.5 km/hour is the average velocity of the train.

2) The acceleration of the car, a= 1.2 m/s^2

Distance covered by the car,s = 75 m

Initial velocity of the car ,v_i = 6 m/s

Final velocity of thre car ,v_f=?

Using third equation of motion:

v_{f}^2=v_{i}^2+2as=(6 m/s)^2+2\times 1.2 m/s\times 75 m=216 m^2/s^2

v_{f}=14.69 m/s

The final velocity of the car at the end of 75 m is 14.69 m/s

A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover’s truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(a)  104 N

(b) 52 N

Explanation:

Given Data

Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°

F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp

The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.  

The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.

(a)  

Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.  

Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:  

Fx=Fcos30°

Solve for F:  

F= Fx/cos30°  

Substitute for Fx from given data:  

Fx=90 N/cos30°

   =104 N

(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:

     Fy = Fsin 30°

   Substitute for F from part (a):

     Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)  

          = 52 N

Two charges, Q1 and Q2, are separated by 6·cm. The repulsive force between them is 25·N. In each case below, find the force betw
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a) 5 N b) 225 N c) 5 N

Explanation:

a) Per Coulomb's Law the repulsive force between 2 equal sign charges, is directly proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of  the distance between them, acting along  the  line that joins the charges, as follows:

F₁₂ = K Q₁ Q₂ / r₁₂²

So, if we make Q1 = Q1/5, the net effect will be to reduce the force in the same factor, i.e. F₁₂ = 25 N / 5 = 5 N

b) If we reduce the distance, from r, to r/3, as the  factor is squared, the net effect will be to increase the force in a factor equal to 3² = 9.

So, we will have F₁₂ = 9. 25 N = 225 N

c) If we make Q2 = 5Q2, the force would be increased 5 times, but if at the same , we increase the distance 5 times, as the factor is squared, the net factor will be 5/25 = 1/5, so we will have:

F₁₂ = 25 N .1/5 = 5 N
