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° .

MGS and later orbiters found spectral evidence for what minerals on the Martian surface? Check all that apply.

slamgirl [31]

Mars Global Surveyors (MGS) and later orbiters found the following minerals on the Martian surface;

Phyllosilicates

Carbonate
Sulfates
Iron oxide

The Mars Global Surveyors (MGS) and later orbiters suggest that the Martian crust contains a higher percentage of volatile elements such as Sulphur and chlorine than the Earth's crust does.

These scientists also conclude that the most abundant chemical elements in the Martian crust are those found in Igneous rock.

These elements include the following;

Silicon,
Oxygen,
Iron,
Magnesium,
Aluminum,
Calcium, and
Potassium.

They also, suggest that hydrogen is found in ice (water) while carbon is found in carbon dioxide and carbonates.

From the given options the minerals found in Martian surface include;

Phyllosilicates ------ these are sheet of silicate minerals

Carbonate
Sulfates
iron oxide

The propeller of an airplane is at rest when the pilot starts the engine; and its angular acceleration is a constant value. Two

Maurinko [17]

Answer:0.318 revolutions

Explanation:

Given

Initially Propeller is at rest i.e. $\omega _0=0 rad/s$

after $t=10 s$

$\omega =10 rad/s$

using $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

$10=0+\alpha \cdot 10$

$\alpha =1 rad/s^2$

Revolutions turned in 2 s

$\theta =\omega _0t+\frac{\alpha t^2}{2}$

$\theta =0+\frac{1\times 2^2}{2}$

$\theta =2 rad$

To get revolution $\frac{\theta }{2\pi }$

= $\frac{2}{2\pi}=0.318\ revolutions$

A 60 kg pupil runs for 600m in 1 minute uniformly calculate kinetic energy

AURORKA [14]

velocity = traveled distance ÷ time of the traveled distance is seconds

velocity = 600 ÷ 60

velocity = 10 m/s

_________________________________

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × ( velocity )^2

KE = 1/2 × 60 × ( 10 )^2

KE = 30 × 100

KE = 3000 j

The question is in the picture

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

e) 120m/s

Explanation:

When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning

$v_0-gt = 0$ .

where $v_0$ is the initial velocity.

Solving for $t$ we get

$t = \dfrac{v_0}{g}$

which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.

Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time $t_0$ since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity $v_f$ it has gained is

$v_f = gt_0$ ,

and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity $v_0$ ; therefore,

$v_f = 2v_0 = gt_0$

which gives

$t_0 = \dfrac{2v_0}{g}.$

Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity $2v_0$ is

$t_{tot} = t+t_0 = \dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{2v_0}{g}$

$t_{tot} = \dfrac{3v_0}{g}.$

This $t_{tot}$ , we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,

$36= \dfrac{3v_0}{g},$

and solving for $v_0$ we get:

$v_0 = \dfrac{36g}{3}$

$v_0 = \dfrac{36s(10m/s^2)}{3}$

$\boxed{v_0 = 120m/s}$

which from the options given is choice e.
