A thin beam of light enters a thick plastic sheet from air at an angle of 32.0° with the normal and continues in the sheet at an

angle of 23.0° with the normal. What is the index of refraction of the plastic?

Answer:

1.36

Explanation:

n_{air} = Index of refraction of air = 1

n_{plastic} = Index of refraction of plastic = ?

i = angle of incidence in air = 32.0° deg

r = angle of refraction in plastic = 23.0° deg

Using Snell's law

n_{air} Sini = n_{plastic} Sinr

(1) SIn32.0 = n_{plastic} Sin23.0

n_{plastic} = 1.36

The spectrum of Star A has an absorption line of hydrogen at 660.0 nm. The spectrum of Star B has an absorption line at 666 nm.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The stars are moving away from us.

Explanation:

The observed wavelengths of hydrogen transition for stars A and B (660.0 nm and 666 nm respectively) are greater than that observed in the laboratory (656.2 nm). The observed long wavelengths for the stars means that the light from the stars is red-shifted.

According to the Doppler effect, red-shifted light means that the source is moving a way from the observer; therefore, we arrive at the conclusion that the stars A and B are moving away from us.

A rectangular loop of wire of width 10 cm and length 20 cm has a current of 2.5 A flowing through it. Two sides of the loop are
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

(a) 0.05 Am^2

(b) 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

Explanation:

width, w = 10 cm = 0.1 m

length, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Current, i = 2.5 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.037 T

(A) Magnetic moment, M = i x A

Where, A be the area of loop

M = 2.5 x 0.1 x 0.2 = 0.05 Am^2

(B) Torque, τ = M x B x Sin 90

τ = 0.05 x 0.037 x 1

τ = 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

An 1876 N crate is being pushed across a level force at a constant speed by a force of 747 N. What is the coefficient of kinetic
nekit [7.7K]

The crate only moves horizontally, so its net vertical force is 0. The only forces acting in the vertical direction are the crate's weight (pointing downward) and the normal force of the surface on the crate (pointing upward). By Newton's second law, we have

∑ <em>F</em> (vertical) = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0   →   <em>n</em> = <em>mg</em> = 1876 N

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force.

In the horizontal direction, the crate is moving at a constant speed and thus with no acceleration, so it's completely in equilibrium and the net horizontal force is also 0. The only forces acting on it in this direction are the 747 N push (pointing in the direction of the crate's motion) and the kinetic friction opposing it (pointing in the opposite direction). By Newton's second law,

∑ <em>F</em> (horizontal) = 747 N - <em>f</em> = 0   →   <em>f</em> = 747 N

The frictional force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of the coefficient of kinetic friction, <em>µ</em>, such that

<em>f</em> = <em>µn</em>   →   <em>µ</em> = <em>f</em> / <em>n</em> = (747 N) / (1876 N) ≈ 0.398188 ≈ 0.40

7. A stream of water strikes a stationary turbine blade horizontally, as the drawing illustrates. The oncoming water stream has
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade is 960 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of water per second that strikes the blade is, \dfrac{m}{t}=30\ kg/s

Initial speed of the oncoming stream, u = 16 m/s

Final speed of the outgoing water stream, v = -16 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade. It can be calculated using second law of motion as :

F=\dfrac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

F=30\ kg/s\times (-16-16)\ m/s

F = -960 N

So, the magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade is 960 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
