Answer:

Your answer would be D. be pushed down into their seats.

Explanation:

You can think of it this way:

If you're not wearing a seat belt on an airplane that drops suddenly, in this case, vertically, which often happens with turbulence- you're the one at rest. You'll stay at rest as the plane (literally) drops out from under you.

If you're strapped in, the seat belt serves as an outside force acting on you, taking you with the plane as it drops and saving you from hitting the ceiling.

Always remember Newton's first law of motion: A body at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it.

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 56.6° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle
Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a). Index of refraction are n_{red} = 1.344 & n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). The velocity of red light in the glass v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

The velocity of violet light in the glass v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We know that

Law of reflection is

n_1 \sin\theta_{1} = n_2 \sin\theta_{2}

Here

\theta_1 = angle of incidence

\theta_2 = angle of refraction

(a). For red light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{red} × \sin 38.4

n_{red} = 1.344

For violet light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{violet} × \sin 36.4

n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). Index of refraction is given by

n = \frac{c}{v}

n_{red} = 1.344

v_{red} = \frac{c}{n_{red} }

v_{red} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.344}

v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of red light in the glass.

The velocity of violet light in the glass is given by

v_{violet} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.406}

v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of violet light in the glass.

A steel ball of mass 50 g is rolled from the left toward a ball of lead of mass 500 g. The steel ball is traveling with a veloci
alina1380 [7]

Answer: It's hard to say without characterizing the collision. But it will be either A if the collision is totally in-elastic, or B if the collision is totally elastic. It could be anywhere in between for partially elastic collisions.

Explanation:

momentum is conserved, so initial system momentum will be left to right.

The velocity of the center of mass is 50(5) / 550 = 0.4545... m/s

In an elastic collision, the lead ball will move off at twice that speed or 0.91 m/s to the right.

The steel ball will bounce back and move away at 0.91 - 5 = -4.1 m/s . The negative sign indicates the steel ball has reversed course and has negative momentum

In a totally in-elastic collision, both balls would move to the right at 0.45 m/s. The steel ball will still have positive momentum.
