A beam of light traveling in air is incident on a slab of transparent material. The incident beam makes an angle of 40.0°with th

e normal, and the refracted beam makes an angle of 26.0° with the normal. Find the index of refraction of the material?

A loop of wire is perpendicular to a magnetic field such that the field is coming straight at you through the loop. The field be

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Inducted Magnetic field will be toward from you

Inducted current direction will be counter clockwise.

Explanation:

Lenz's law states that the direction of the current induced in a wire by a changing magnetic field is such that the magnetic field created by the induced current opposes the initial changing magnetic field.

So if the field begins to decrease, the induced magnetic field would try to stop this, so its direction will be the same as the magnetic field, toward from you.

This induced magnetic field is produced by the current in the wire. If the inducted magnetic field will be toward you, the right hand rule says that the direction from the inducted current will be counter clockwise.

Water flows straight down from an open faucet. The cross-sectional area of the faucet is 2.4 × 10-4m2 and the speed of the water

Ksenya-84 [330]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the continuity equations in the fluid and the kinematic equation for the description of the displacement, velocity and acceleration.

By definition the movement of the Fluid under the terms of Speed, acceleration and displacement is,

$v_2^2 = v_1^2 + 2gh$

Where,

$V_i =$ Velocity in each state

g= Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

$A_1 = 2.4*10^{-4} m^2$

$v_1 = 0.8 m/s$

$h = 0.11m$

Replacing at the kinetic equation to find $V_2$ we have,

$v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 + 2gh}$

$v_2 = \sqrt{(0.8 m/s)^2 + 2(9.80 m/s2)(0.11 m)}$

$v_2= 1.67 m/s$

Applying the concepts of continuity,

$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

We need to find A_2 then,

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

So the cross sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

$A_2= \frac{(2.4*10^{-4})(0.8)}{(1.67)}$

$A_2= 1.14*10^{-4} m2$

Therefore the cross-sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is $1.14*10^{-4} m2$

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.2 amps :)

Explanation:

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

Known:

R = 10.0 Ω

V = 12.0 V

Unknown:

I = ???

I = V/R

= 12.0 V / 10.0 Ω

= 1.2 amps

Two Polaroids are aligned so that the initially unpolarized light passing through them is a maximum. At what angle should one of

steposvetlana [31]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.

Mathematically the expression is given as

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_0$ = Initial Intensity

I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer

$\theta$ = Angle between the polarizer and the light

Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

$\frac{I}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2}$

Using the Malus Law we have,

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{I}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})^2$

$\theta = 75.52\°$

Angle with respect to maximum is $90-75.52 = 14.48\°$
