Answer:

Take a look below

Explanation:

Consider the conservation of linear momentum -

If this bullet was at rest before it was shot, it had 0 momentum. Thus, after the bullet was shot it still had 0 momentum - Option B

Answer:

$r=0.41m$

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

$\tau=r\times F$

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

$\tau=rFsin\theta$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when $sin\theta$ is equal to one, solving for r:

$r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m$

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the crit

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Complete Question:

A beam of white light is incident on the surface of a diamond at an angle $\theta_{a}$ , since the index of refraction depends on the light's wavelength, the different colors that comprise white light will spread out as they pass through the diamond. For example, the indices of refraction in diamond are $n_{red} = 2.410$ for red light and $n_{blue} = 2.450$ for blue light. Thus, blue light and red light are refracted at different angles inside the diamond. The surrounding air has $n_{air} = 1.000$ .

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the critical angle θcrit, the light will not be refracted out into the air, but instead it will be totally internally reflected back into the diamond. Find θcrit. Express your answer in degrees to four significant figures.

Answer:

$\theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}$

Explanation:

Only the blue refracted ray is related to the critical angle in this question

$n_{air} = 1.000$

$n_{blue} = 2.450$

The relationship between the critical angle( $\theta_{crit}$ ), $n_{air}$ and $n_{blue}$ can be given as $sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{n_{air} }{n_{blue} }$
