A plastic cube is immersed in water having an index of refraction of 1.33. A laser beam in the plastic strikes the interface at

an angle of 14.5° with the normal in the plastic. In the water, this beam makes an angle of 21.8° with the normal. What is the speed of light in the plastic cube? (c = 3.0 × 108 m/s)

Answer:

157077501.7 m/s

Explanation:

Refractive index of water = n₂ = 1.33

θ₁ = 14.5°

θ₂ = 21.8°

According to Snell's law

\frac{sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\\\Rightarrow n_1\times sin\theta_1=n_2\times sin\theta_2\\\Rightarrow n_1\times sin14.5=1.33\times sin 21.8\\\Rightarrow n_1=\frac{1.33\times sin 21.8}{sin14.5}=1.972

Refractive index of plastic is 1.973

n=\frac{c}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{c}{n}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1.973}=157077501.7\ m/s

∴ Speed of light in the plastic cube is 157077501.7 m/s

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

total length of the spiral is L is  5378.01 m

Explanation:

Given data:

Inner radius R1=2.5 cm

and outer radius R2= 5.8 cm.

the width of spiral winding  is (d) =1.6 \mu m =  1.6x 10^{-6} m

the total length of the spiral is L is given as

= \frac{(Area\ of\ the\ spiraing\ portion\ on\ the\ disk)}{d}

=\frac{\pi *(R_2)^2 - \pi*(R_1)^2}{d}

=\frac{\pi *(0.058)^2 - \pi*(0.025)^2}{1.6*10^{-6}}

= 5378.01 m

Consider a turntable to be a circular disk of moment of inertia It rotating at a constant angular velocity ωi around an axis thr
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Note: Angular momentum is always conserved in a collision.

The initial angular momentum of the system is

L = ( It ) ( ωi )

where It = moment of inertia of the rotating circular disc,

ωi = angular velocity of the rotating circular disc

The final angular momentum is

L = ( It + Ir ) ( ωf )

where ωf is the final angular velocity of the system.

Since the two angular momenta are equal, we see that

( It ) ( ωi ) = ( It + Ir ) ( ωf )

so making ωf the subject of the formula

ωf = [ ( It ) / ( It + Ir ) ] ωi

A soccer player runs up behind a 0.450-kg soccer ball traveling at 3.20 m/s and kicks it in the same direction as it is moving,
NISA [10]

To develop this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Impulse.

The impulse is defined as the change in velocity at the rate of mass, that is

L = m\Delta V,

Where,

m = Mass

\Delta V = Change in Velocity

This change in velocity can be expressed as,

L = m(v_2-v_1)

L = 0.45*(12.8 - 3.2)

L = 0.45*9.6

L= 4.32 Kg.m/s

Therefore the magnitude of the impulse is 4.32 Kg.m/s

A pyrotechnical releases a 3 kg firecracker from rest. at t=0.4 s, the firecracker is moving downward with a speed 4 m/s. At the
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

a) F = 30 N, b)   I = 12 N s , c)  I = -12 N s , d) ΔI = 0 N s

Explanation:

This exercise is a case at the moment, let's define the system formed by the firecracker and its two parts, in this case the forces during the explosion are internal and the moment is conserved

Initial, before the explosion

     p₀ = m v

The speed can be found by kinematics

     v = v₀ - g t

     v = 0 - 10 0.4

     v = -4.0 m / s

Final after division

     pf = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    p₀ = pf

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

Where M is the initial mass (M = 3 kg), m₁ is the mass mtop (m₁ = 1 kg) and m₂ in the mass m botton (m₂ = 2kg) and the piece that moves up (v₁f = 6m/s )

a) before the explosion the only force acting on the body is gravity

     F = mg

     F = 3 10 = 30 N

b) The expression for momentum is

     I = Ft

Before the explosion the only force that acts is the weight

    I = mg t

    I = 3 10 0.4

    I = 12 N s

c) To calculate this part we use the conservation of the moment and calculate the speed of the body that descends body 2

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    v₂f = (M v - m₁ v₁f) / m₂

    v₂f = (3 (-4) - 1 6) / 2

   v₂f = - 9 m / 2

The negative sign indicates that body 2 (botton) is descending

Now we can use the momentum and momentum relationship for the body during the explosion

    I = F t = Dp

   F t = pf –po)

   F t= [m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f]

   

   I = [1 6 + 2 (-9) -0]

   I = -12 N s

This is the impulse during the explosion the negative sign indicates that it is headed down

d) impulse change

I₀ = Mv

I₀ = 3 *4

I₀ =-12 N s

 ΔI =If – I₀  

ΔI = - 12 – (-12)

ΔI = -0 N s

Blood can carry excess energy from the interior to the surface of the body, where the energy is dispersed in a number of ways. W
stepladder [879]

Answer:

T = 36.2 ^oC

Explanation:

As we know that heat released is given as

Q = ms \Delta T

here we know that

Q = 2000 J

m = 0.6 kg

s = 4186 J/kg C

now from above equation we have

2000 = 0.6(4186)(37 - T)

2000 = 2511.6 (37 - T)

T = 36.2 ^oC
