Explanation:

It is given that,

Angle of incidence from air to another medium, i = 26°

The angle of reflection, r = 32°

We need to find the refractive index of the medium. The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of reflection is called refractive index. It can be given by :

n=\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}\\\\n=\dfrac{\sin (26)}{\sin (32)}\\\\n=0.82

So, the index of refraction is 0.82. Hence, the correct option is C.

When photons with a wavelength of 310. nm strike a magnesium plate, the maximum velocity of the ejected electrons is 3.45 105 m/
Kisachek [45]
This problem can be solved based on the rule of energy conservation, as the energy of the photon covers both the energy needed to overcome the binding energy as well as the energy of ejection.

The rule can be written as follows:
energy of photon = binding energy + kinetic energy of ejectection
(hc) / lambda = E + 0.5 x m x v^2 where:
h is plank's constant = 6.63 x 10^-34 m^2 kg / s
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/sec
lambda is the wavelength = 310 nm
E is the required binding energy
m is the mass of photon = 9.11 x 10^-31 kg
v is the velocity = 3.45 x 10^5 m/s

So, as you can see, all the parameters in the equation are given except for E. Substitute to get the required E as follows:
(6.63x10^-34x3x10^8)/(310x10^-9) = E + 0.5(9.11 x 10^-31)(3.45x10^5)^2
E = 6.41 x 10^-16 joule

To get the E in ev, just divide the value in joules by 1.6 x 10^-19
E = 4.009 ev

. A little car has a maximum acceleration of 2.57 m/s2. What is the new maximum acceleration of the little car if it tows anothe
valkas [14]

Answer:

a'=1.285\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Let m be the mass of a little car and m' be the mass of another car.

We know that,

Force = mass × acceleration

ATQ,

m × a = 2m × a'

a = 2 × a'

a'=\dfrac{a}{2}\\\\a'=\dfrac{2.57}{2}\\\\a'=1.285\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of another little car is equal to 1.285\ m/s^2.

The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3 00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm
Nesterboy [21]

Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N

1. Use Coulomb’s Law (equation below) to calculate the approximate force felt by an electron at point A in the schematic below.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the data it appears that A is the middle point between two charges.

First of all we shall calculate the field at point A .

Field due to charge -Q ( 6e⁻ ) at A

= 9 x 10⁹ x 6 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / (2.5)² x 10⁻⁴

= 13.82 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

Its direction will be towards Q⁻

Same field will be produced by Q⁺ charge . The direction will be away

from Q⁺  towards Q⁻ .

We shall add the field  to get the resultant field  .

= 2 x 13.82 x 10⁻⁶

= 27.64 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

Force on electron put at A

= charge x field

= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 27.64 x 10⁻⁶

= 44.22 x 10⁻²⁵ N
