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 47.3Â° 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 particle travels along the x-axis in such a way that its acceleration at time t is a(t) = t + t2. if it starts at the origin w

Olegator [25]

The acceleration of the particle as a function of time t is
$a(t) = t + t^2$
The velocity of the particle at time t is the integral of the acceleration:
$v(t) = \int {a(t)} \, dt = \frac{t^2}{2} + \frac{t^3}{3} + C$
where the constant C can be found by requiring that the velocity at time t=0 is v=3:
$v(0) = 3$
and we find $C=v_0=3$
so the velocity is
$v(t)=3+ \frac{t^2}{2}+ \frac{t^3}{3}$

The position of the particle at time t is the integral of the velocity:
$x(t)=\int {v(t) } \,dt = 3t + \frac{t^3}{6}+ \frac{t^4}{12} +D$
where D can be found by requiring that the initial position at time t=0 is zero:
x(0)=0
from which we find D=0, so
$x(t)=3t + \frac{t^3}{6}+ \frac{t^4}{12}$

To solve the problem, now we just have to substitute t=5 into x(t) and v(t) to find the position and the velocity of the particle at t=5.

The position is:
$x(5)=3(5) + \frac{5^3}{6}+ \frac{5^4}{12}=87.92$
and the velocity is:
$v(5) = 3+ \frac{5^2}{2}+ \frac{5^3}{3}=57.17$

When carrying extra weight, the space formed between the top of your head and the two axles of the motorcycle is referred to as

Dafna11 [192]

When carrying extra weight, the space formed between the top of your head and the two axles of the motorcycle is called "load triangle". Because of a motorcycle's size and weight<span> and the fact that it has only two wheels, how to carry extra load is very important. One has to make sure that they are keeping the weight low and close to the middle of the motorcycle and keep the load evenly from side to side. Heavier items should be in the "load triangle".</span><span> </span>

How can stretching affect the range of motion of the neck? Hypothesis

kari74 [83]

Answer:

reduce passive stiffness and increase range of movement during exercise.

Explanation:

stretching performed as part of a warm up prior to exercise is thought to reduce passive stiffness and increase range of movement during exercise. in general it appears that is static stretching is most beneficial for athletes requiring flexibility for their sports.

A school bus has a mass (including the driver and passengers) of 1.64 times 10^4 kg and is driving north at a speed of 15.2 km/h

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bus along with travelers travelling in North direction is $m_1=1.6\times 10^4 kg$

speed of bus towards North $v_1=15.2 km/h\approx 4.22\ m/s$

mass of bus travelling in South direction is $m_2=1.578\times 10^4 kg$

speed of bus $v_2=12.2 km/h\approx 3.38\ m/s$

mass of each Passenger in south moving bus $m_0=64.8 kg$

Momentum of North moving bus

$P_1=m_1\times v_1$

$P_1=1.6\times 10^4\times 4.22$

$P_1=6.768\times 10^4 kg-m/s$

Momentum with south moving bus

$P_2=m_2\times v_2+n\cdot m_0\times v_2$

$P_2=(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38$

For total momentum to be towards south

$P_2-P_1$ should be greater than 0

thus for least value of n

$P_2=P_1$

$(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38=6.768\times 10^4$

$1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8=2.0023\times 10^4$

$n=\frac{4243.6686}{64.8}=65.48\approx 66$

PLEASE HELP ME ALREADY!!! MAX POINTS RANDOM ANSWERS WILL BE REPORTED!!!

horsena [70]

Answer:

C. Energy is used for life processes (e.g. Movement, breathing, etc.)

Explanation:

As we pass from one trophic level to the next, only 10% of energy is transferred from the first trophic level to the next. This is because a lot of energy is lost to the surroundings and rest is utilised by the organism.
