Water floats on a liquid called "carbon tetrachloride." The two liquids do not mix. A light ray passing from water into carbon t

etrachloride has an incident angle of 45.0° and an angle of refraction of 40.1°. If the index of refraction of water is 1.33, what is the index of refraction of carbon tetrachloride?

Answer:

1.26

Explanation:

$index \: of \: refraction \: = \: \ \frac{ \sin(angle \: of \: incidence) }{ \sin(angle \: of \: refraction) }$

$\frac{ \sin(45.0) }{ \sin(40.1) }$

= 1.26

A seasoned mini golfer is trying to make par on a tricky number five hole. The golfer can complete the hole by hitting the ball

liberstina [14]

Answer:5.17 m/s

Explanation:

Given

let u be the speed at cliff initial point

range over cliff is 1.45 m

and range of projectile is given by

$R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}$

$1.45=\frac{u^2\sin 90}{9.8}$

u=3.77 m/s

Conserving Energy

$E_{bottom}=E_{initial\ point\ at\ cliff}$

Kinetic energy=Kinetic energy +Potential energy gained

Let v be the initial velocity

$\frac{mv^2}{2}=mgh+\frac{mu^2}{2}$

$v^2=u^2+2gh$

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{3.77^2+2\time 9.8\times 0.64}$

$v=\sqrt{26.75}=5.17 m/s$

You drop your keys in a high-speed elevator going up at a constant speed. Part APart complete Do the keys accelerate faster towa

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

a) No, the keys were initially moving upward in the elevator only effects the initial velocity of the key and not the rate of change of velocity that is acceleration. So, the keys accelerate with the same acceleration as before.

b)Yes, keys will accelerate towards the floor faster if it is a constant speed than it is moving downward because if the elevator is accelerating downward, the downward change in velocity of the keys is at least partially matched by a downward change in the velocity of the of the elevator.

A mass weighing 20 pounds stretches a spring 6 inches. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 6 inches below the

hoa [83]

Answer:

Since the spring mass system will execute simple harmonic motion the position as a function of time can be written as $x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\phi)$

'A' is the amplitude = 6 inches (given)

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ is the natural frequency of the system

At equilibrium we have

$mg=kx\\\\k=\frac{mg}{x}$

Applying values we get

$k=40 lb/ft$

thus natural frequency equals

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{40}{\frac{20}{32}}}\\\\\omega =8s^{-1}$

Thus the equation of motion becomes

$x(t)=6sin(8t+\phi)$

At time t=0 since mass is at it's maximum position thus we have

$A=Asin(\omega t+\phi)\\\\\therefore sin(\omega\times 0+\phi)=1\\\\\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}\\\\\therefore x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{2})$

Thus the position of mass at the given times is as follows

1) at $\frac{\pi}{12}$ $x(t)=5.99inches$

2) at $\frac{\pi}{8}$ $x(t)=5.9909inches$

3) at $\frac{\pi}{6}$ $x(t)=5.98397inches$

4) at $\frac{\pi}{4}$ $x(t)=5.9639inches$

5) at $\frac{9\pi}{32}$ $x(t)=5.954inches$

The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is ________proportional to the current and _________proportional to the distan

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u> proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u> proportional to the distance from the wire. If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.

Explanation:

Magnetic field around a long current carrying wire is given by

$B=\frac{\mu _o I}{2\pi r}$

where B= magnetic field

$\mu _o=$ permeability of free space

I= current in the long wire and

r= distance from the current carrying wire

Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u> proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u> proportional to the distance from the wire.

Now if I'=3I and r'=2r then magnetic field B' is given by

$B'=\frac{\mu _oI'}{2\pi r'}=\frac{\mu _o3I}{2\pi 2r}=1.5B$

Thus If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.
