Answer:

C)  The gravity on the Moon is less than the gravity on Earth.

Explanation:

Since Moon is smaller than Earth, any mass on Moon will experience less gravitational force and so that mass will weigh less on Moon.

A car is driving around a banked curve, with the road surface at an angle of 10.0º. If the radius of curvature of the road is 30
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

maximum speed 56 km/h

Explanation:

To apply Newton's second law to this system we create a reference system with the horizontal x-axis and the Vertical y-axis. In this system, normal is the only force that we must decompose

       sin 10 = Nx / N

      cos 10 = Ny / N

      Ny = N cos 10

     Nx = N sin 10

Let's develop Newton's equations on each axis

X axis

We include the force of friction towards the center of the curve because the high-speed car has to get out of the curve

     Nx + fr = m a

     a = v2 / r

     fr = mu N

     N sin10 + mu N = m v² / r

     N (sin10 + mu) = m v² / r

Y Axis  

     Ny -W = 0

     N cos 10 = mg

Let's solve these two equations,

    (mg / cos 10) (sin 10 + mu) = m v² / r

    g (tan 10 + μ / cos 10) = v² / r

    v² = r g (tan 10 + μ / cos 10)

They ask us for the maximum speed

   v² = 30.0 9.8 (tan 10+ 0.65 / cos 10)

   v² = 294 (0.8364)  

   v = √(245.9)

   v = 15.68 m / s

Let's reduce this to km / h

   v = 15.68 m / s (1 km / 1000m) (3600s / 1h)

   v = 56.45 km / h

This is the maximum speed so you don't skid

The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is  

 \theta _d  =0.19 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is  n_F  =  1.497

     The  wavelength of the blue light is F  =  486.1 nm  =  486.1 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is  n_C  =  1.488

       The  wavelength of the red light is C =  656.3 nm  = 656.3 *10^{-9} \  m

    The incidence angle is  i  =  45^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light  in the acrylic block  is mathematically represented as

       r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_F} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.497} ]

      r_F  =  28.18^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

       r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_C} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.488} ]

      r_F  =  28.37^o

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

     \theta _d  =  r_C  - r_F

substituting values

       \theta _d  = 28.37 -  28.18

       \theta _d  =0.19 ^o
