A jeweler is determining the optical properties of an unknown blue gemstone. She uses an angle of incidence of 62°, and measures

an angle of refraction of 30°. Assuming the index of refraction of air is 1.0, what is the index of refraction of the gem?

Answer:

n = 1.76

Explanation:

According to the rule of ( n1 sin theta1 = n2 sin theta2 )

we know both angles so we insert them to the law and apply n1 = 1

so 1/2 = n2 sin 62 and we get the final answer

A man stands on his balcony, 130 feet above the ground. He looks at the ground, with his sight line forming an angle of 70° with
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

d =  380 feet

Explanation:

Height of man = perpendicular= 130 feet

Angle of depression = ∅ = 70 °

distance to bus stop from man = hypotenuse = d = 130 sec∅

As sec ∅ = 1 / cos∅

so d = 130 sec∅    or d = 130 / cos∅

d = 130 / cos(70°)

d =  380 feet

An object is moving in the plane according to these parametric equations:
aniked [119]
A. The horizontal velocity is 
vx = dx/dt = π - 4πsin (4πt + π/2)
vx = π - 4π sin (0 + π/2)
vx = π - 4π (1)
vx = -3π

b. vy = 4π cos (4πt + π/2)
vy = 0

c. m = sin(4πt + π/2) / [<span>πt + cos(4πt + π/2)]

d. m = </span>sin(4π/6 + π/2) / [π/6 + cos(4π/6 + π/2)]

e. t = -1.0

f. t = -0.35

g. Solve for t 
vx = π - 4πsin (4πt + π/2) = 0
Then substitute back to solve for vxmax

h. Solve for t
vy = 4π cos (4πt + π/2) = 0
The substitute back to solve for vymax

i. s(t) = [<span>x(t)^2 + y</span>(t)^2]^(1/2)

h. s'(t) = d [x(t)^2 + y(t)^2]^(1/2) / dt

k and l. Solve for the values of t
d [x(t)^2 + y(t)^2]^(1/2) / dt = 0
And substitute to determine the maximum and minimum speeds.

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.4 kg gibbon
Katarina [22]

Answer:

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of gibbon = 9.4 kg

arm length = 0.6 m

speed of the swing

net force must provide

F_{branch} + F_{gravity}=F_{centripetal}

force of gravity = - mg

F_{branch}=F_{centripetal}-F_{gravity}

                        = \dfrac{mv^2}{r} + mg

                        = m(\dfrac{3.4^2}{0.6} +9.8)

                        =9 x 29.067

                        = 261.6 N

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Two lasers, one red (with wavelength 633.0 nm) and the other green (with wavelength 532.0 nm), are mounted behind a 0.150-mm sli
Orlov [11]

Answer:

a.3.20m

b.0.45cm

Explanation:

a. Equation for minima is defined as: sin \theta=\frac{m\lambda}{\alpha}

Given m=3,\lambda=6.33\times 10^-^7 and \alpha=0.00015:

#Substitute our variable values in the minima equation to obtain \theta:

\theta=sin^-^1 (\frac{3\times 6.33\times 10^-^7}{0.00015})\\\\\theta=0.01266rad

#draw a triangle to find the relationship between \theta, y \ and L.

tan(\theta)=y/L               #where y=4.05cm

L=y/tan(\theta)=3.20

Hence the screen is 3.20m from the split.

b.  To find the closest minima for green(the fourth min will give you the smallest distance)

#Like with a above, the minima equation will be defined as:

sin \theta=\frac{m\lambda}{\alpha}, where m=4 given that it's the minima with the smallest distance.

sin \theta=\frac{4\lambda}{\alpha}\\\theta=sin^-^1 (\frac{4\times 6.33\times 10^-^7}{0.00015})\\\\\theta=0.01688rad

#we then use tan(\theta)=y/L to calculate L=4.5cm

Then from the equation subtract y_3 from y:

4.50cm-4.05cm=0.45cm

Hence, the distance \bigtriangleup y is 0.45cm

In Paul Hewitt's book, he poses this question: "If the forces that act on a bullet and the recoiling gun from which it is fired
Sauron [17]
They have different accelerations because of their masses. According to Newton's Second Law, an objects acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore the object with the larger mass, in this case the gun, will have a smaller acceleration. In the same way, the less massive object, being the bullet, will have a higher acceleration.

Hope this helps :)
