What happens to light when it travels from air into water

Physics
1 answer:
spin [16.1K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Water is more dense than air. When water goes through a denser thing, the light is "bent" more towards the "normal" which is a straight, vertical line.

Answer:

Acceleration of that planet is 30 \frac{m}{s^{2} }.

Given:

initial speed of hammer = 0 \frac{m}{s}

time = 1 s

distance = 15 m

To find:

Acceleration due to gravity = ?

Formula used:

Distance covered by hammer is given by,

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

s = distance

u = initial speed of hammer

t = time taken by hammer to reach ground

a = acceleration

Solution:

Distance covered by hammer is given by,

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

s = distance

u = initial speed of hammer

t = time taken by hammer to reach ground

a = acceleration

u = 0

t = 1 s

s = 15 m

a = g

Thus substituting these value in above equation.

15 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} g 1^{2}

g = 15 × 2

g = 30 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Thus, acceleration of that planet is 30 \frac{m}{s^{2} }.

A ball of mass M is suspended by a thin string (of negligible mass) from the ceiling of an elevator.uploaded image
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

(a) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a higher floor.  T > mg

(b) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is increasing as it begins its journey towards a higher floor. T > mg

(c) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a lower floor. T < mg

(d) The elevator is traveling downward at a constant velocity. T = mg

(e) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is increasing. T < mg

(f) The elevator is stationary and remains at rest. T = mg

Explanation:

To answer this question, consider all the forces acting on the elevator.

The mass of the ball acting downwards due to gravity = mg

The tension on the string depends on upward or downwards force on the ball. T = m(a+g)

where a is acceleration and increase in velocity causes increase in acceleration, and vice versa. (a = v/t)

(a) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a higher floor.

If the upward velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is also decreasing, and acceleration is not equal to Zero

T = m(a+g) > mg

(b) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is increasing as it begins its journey towards a higher floor.

If the upward velocity is increasing, its acceleration is also increasing.

Then, T = m(a+g) > mg

(c) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a lower floor.

If the downward velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is also decreasing, and acceleration is not equal to Zero

T = m(a-g) < mg

(d) The elevator is traveling downward at a constant velocity

At constant velocity, acceleration is zero, because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

T = m(0+g) = mg

(e) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is increasing

If the downward velocity is increasing, its acceleration is also increasing

T = m(a-g) < mg

(f) The elevator is stationary and remains at rest.

if the elevator is at rest, its acceleration is zero

T = m(0+g) = mg

Consider a situation of simple harmonic motion in which the distance between the endpoints is 2.39 m and exactly 8 cycles are co
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

1.195 m

2.8375 s

2.21433 rad/s

Explanation:

d = Distance = 2.39 m

N = Number of cycles = 8

t = Time to complete 8 cycles = 22.7 s

Radius would be equal to the distance divided by 2

r=\frac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{2.39}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=1.195\ m

The radius is 1.195 m

Time period would be given by

T=\frac{t}{N}\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{22.7}{8}\\\Rightarrow T=2.8375\ s

Time period of the motion is 2.8375 s

Angular speed is given by

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{2\pi}{2.8375}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2.21433\ rad/s

The angular speed of the motion is 2.21433 rad/s

Un trineo de 20 kg descansa en la cima de una pendiente de 80 m de longitud y 30° de inclinación. Si µ = 0.2, ¿cuál es la veloci
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

v= 26.70 m/seg

Explanation:  Ver anexo ( diagrama de cuerpo libre)

De acuerdo a la segunda ley de Newton

∑ F  =  m*a

∑ Fx  =  m* a(x)             ∑ Fy  =  m* a(y)

También sabemos que el coeficiente de roce dinámico es:

  μ  = 0.2 = F(r)/N            siendo N la fuerza normal.

Si descomponemos la fuerza P = mg  =  20Kg* 9.8m/seg²

P =  196 [N]    en sus componentes sobre los ejes x y y tenemos

Py  =  P* cos30  =  196* √3/2  =  98*√3

Px  = P* sen30   =  196*1/2  =  98

La sumatoria sobre el eje y es :

∑ F(y)  =  m*a         Py  - N  = 0          98*√3  = N       ( no hay movimiento en la dirección y)

∑ F(x)  = m*a    P(x)  -  Fr  =  m*a

Fr  =   μ *N  =  0.2* 98*√3

Fr  =  19.6*√3  [N]

98 -  19.6*√3  =  m*a

98  -  33.52  = m*a

a =  (98  -  33.52 ) / 20

a = 3.22 m/seg²

Para calcular la velocidad del trineo al pié del plano, sabemos que al pié del plano el trineo ha recorrido 80 m, y que de cinemática

v²  =  v₀²  +  2*a*d             ( se pueden chequear unidades para ver la consistencia de la ecuación  v  y  v₀    vienen dados en m/seg  entonces  v²  y  v₀²  vienen en m²/seg²,  el producto de a (m/seg²) por la distancia d (m) resulta en m²/seg²  entonces es consistente la relación

v²   =  0   +  2*3.22*80       ( la velocidad inicial es cero)

v²  = 515.2  m²/seg²

v  =  √515.2  m/seg

v= 26.70 m/seg
