To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion in relation to those of linear / tangential motion.
We will proceed to find the centripetal acceleration (From the ratio of the radius and angular velocity to the linear velocity) and the tangential acceleration to finally find the total acceleration of the body.
Our data is given as:
The angular speed
The angular acceleration
The distance
The relation between the linear velocity and angular velocity is
Where,
r = Radius
Angular velocity
At the same time we have that the centripetal acceleration is
Now the tangential acceleration is given as,
Here,
Angular acceleration
r = Radius
Finally using the properties of the vectors, we will have that the resulting component of the acceleration would be
Therefore the correct answer is C.
Answer:
True, True, False, False, False, False.
Explanation:
The refraction index of a material is given by the formula n=c/v, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v the speed of light in the material. If a ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials and the medium the ray enters has a larger index of refraction it means that in this new medium the speed of light is smaller than on the other one, and then its wavelength is also reduced since f must remain the same (and ), otherwise there is a discontinuity on number of vibrations per second, which cannot happen. So we know that:
1) The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater index of refraction. True.
2) The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials. True.
3) The speed of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials. False.
4) The speed of the light increases as it enters the medium with the greater index of refraction. False.
5) The frequency of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater index of refraction. False.
6) The wavelength of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials. False.
