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° .

Potential energy becomes kinetic energy when:
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

An object has potential energy (stored energy) when it is not in motion. Once a force has been applied or it begins to move the potential energy changes to kinetic energy (energy of motion).

EXAMPLE: A rock sitting on the edge of a cliff. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, as the rock will be moving. A stretched elastic string in a longbow.

Because white dwarfs are small, as their name implies, they are hard to see. What is a way astronomers have to find white dwarfs
Bumek [7]

Astronomers find white dwarfs that distinguish them from main sequence stars because white dwarfs get really hot, we can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

<h3>What is a white dwarf?</h3>

A white dwarf is a very hot star that radiated much energy in the form of ultraviolet radiation.

This UV radiation is initially very bright and then these stars become red with time.

In conclusion, Astronomers find white dwarfs they can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

The Millersburg Ferry (m = 13000.0 kg loaded) is travelling at 11 m/s when the engines are put in reverse. The engineproduces a
Pie

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg

Velocity, v = 11 m/s

Applied force, F = 10⁶ N

Time period, t = 20 seconds

(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.

J=F.\Delta t

J=10^6\ N\times 20\ s

J=2\times 10^7\ N-s

(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.

J=\Delta p=p_f-p_i

J=p_f-p_i

p_f=J+p_i

p_f=2\times 10^7\ N-s+13000\ kg\times 11\ m/s

p_f=20143000\ kg-m/s

(c) For new velocity,

v_f=\dfrac{p_f}{m}

v_f=\dfrac{20143000\ kg-m/s}{13000\ kg}

v_f=1549.46\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
