Answer:

Total Internal Reflection

Explanation:

An arthroscope is an optical fiber which is used to examine knee by doctor. Light is transmitted through this scope using the phenomenon of Total internal reflection of light. When light is incident upon an interface of denser to rarer medium at a certain angle (which is greater than the critical angle), it undergoes total internal reflection within it. In this way, light is transmitted through thin optical fibers and can be used for various purposes.

Sample Response: The technology being described is fiber optics. Since they are small and flexible, they enable doctors to see areas that they might otherwise be unable to see without surgery.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin
Mashutka [201]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is 14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}, where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.

Explanation:

We will calculate the work done as follows.

     W = \int_{0}^{0.54} F dx

         = \int_{0}^{0.54} (14,000 + 10,000x - 26,000x^{2}) dx

         = [14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}

         = 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69

         = 7653.31 J

or,      = 7.65 kJ       (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.

If Pete ( mass=90.0kg) weights himself and finds that he weighs 30.0 pounds, how far away from the surface of the earth is he
shutvik [7]

Answer: 9938.8 km

Explanation:

1 pound-force = 4.48 N

30.0 pounds-force = 134.4 N

The force of gravitation between Earth and object on the surface of is given by:

F = \frac{GMm}{R^2} = mg

Where M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the object, R (6371 km) is the radius of the Earth.

At height, h above the surface of the Earth, the weight of the object:

(mg)'= \frac{GMm}{(R+h)^2}

we need to find "h"

taking the ratio of two:

\frac{mg}{(mg)'}=\frac{(R+h)^2}{R^2}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{90kg \times 9.8 m/s^2}{134.4 N}=\frac{(R+h)^2}{R^2}\\ \Rightarrow 6.56 R^2= (R+h)^2 \Rightarrow h= (2.56-1)R\\ \Rightarrow h = 1.56 R = 1.56 \times 6371 km = 9938. 8 km

Hence, Pete would weigh 30 pounds at 9938.8 km above the surface of the Earth.

Suppose you are talking by interplanetary telephone to your friend, who lives on the Moon. He tells you that he has just won a n
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The friend on moon will be richer.

Explanation:

We must calculate the mass of gold won by each person, to tell who is richer. For that purpose we will use the following formula:

W = mg

m = W/g

where,

m = mass of gold

W = weight of gold

g = acceleration due to gravity on that planet

<u>FOR FRIEND ON MOON</u>:

W = 1 N

g = 1.625 m/s²

Therefore,

m = (1 N)/(1.625 m/s²)

m(moon) = 0.6 kg

<u>FOR ME ON EARTH</u>:

W = 1 N

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

m = (1 N)/(9.8 m/s²)

m(earth) = 0.1 kg

Since, the mass of gold on moon is greater than the mass of moon on earth.

<u>Therefore, the friend on moon will be richer.</u>

(a) A velocity selector consists of electric and magnetic fields described by the expressions E = E and B = B ĵ, with B = 10.0 m
Allushta [10]

Answer:

(a) 160000 kV/m

(b) 1336 keV

Explanation:

(a) magnetic filed, B = 10 T

energy of electron, E = 740 eV

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

Let v be the velocity of electron.

E = 1/2 mv^2

740 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v^2

v = 1.6 x 10^7 m/s

v = E / B

E = v x B = 1.6 x 10^7 x 10 = 16 x 10^7 V/m

E = 160000 kV/m

(b) E = 16 x 10^7 V/m

B = 10 T

Let v be the velocity of protons.

v = E / B = 16 x 10^7 / 10 = 1.6 x 10^7 m/s

Kinetic energy of proton, E = 1/2 mv^2

                                          = 0.5 x 1.67 x 10^-27 x 1.6 x 1.6 x 10^14

                                          = 2.14 x 10^-13 J = 1336000 eV = 1336 keV
