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° .

The tow spring on a car has a spring constant of 3,086 N / m and is initially stretched 18.00 cm by a 100.0 kg college student o
sdas [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The spring constant of the spring, k = 3086 N/m

The spring is stretched 18 cm or 0.18 m

Mass of the student, m = 100 kg

Potential energy of the spring, P_f=20\ J

To find,

The velocity of the car.

Solution,

It is a case of conservation of energy. The total energy of the system remains conserved. So,

P_i=K_f+P_f

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3086\times (0.18)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20

50-20=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

30=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{60}{100}}

v = 0.774 m/s

So, the velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.
