Two students, sitting on frictionless carts, push against each other. Both are initially at rest and the mass of student 1 and t

he cart is M, and that of student 2 and the cart is 1.5M. If student 1 pushes student 2 so that she recoils with velocity v,  what is the velocity of student 2.

Answer:

  v₂ = v/1.5= 0.667 v

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the conservation of the moment, for this we will define a system formed by the two students and the cars, for this isolated system the forces during the contact are internal, therefore the moment conserves.

Initial moment before pushing

    p₀ = 0

Final moment after they have been pushed

    p_{f} = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

   p₀ =  p_{f}

   0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

   m₁ v₁ = - m₂ v₂

Let's replace

   M (-v) = -1.5M v₂

   v₂ = v / 1.5

  v₂ = 0.667 v

Two oppositely charged but otherwise identical conducting plates of area 2.50 square centimeters are separated by a dielectric 1
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

A). σ = 3.823 x 10^{-5} C^{2}/N-m^{2}

B). \sigma ^{'}=2.76\times 10^{-5} C/m^{2}

C). U=10.322 J

Explanation:

A). We know magnitude of charge per unit area for a conducting plate is given by

\sigma =k.\varepsilon _{0}.E

where, E is resultant electric field = 1.2 x 10^{6} V/m

           \varepsilon _{0} is permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10^{-12} C^{2}/N-m^{2}

           k is dielectric constant = 3.6

∴\sigma =k.\varepsilon _{0}.E

                     = 3.6 x 8.85 x10^{-12} x 1.2 x 10^{6}

                    = 3.823 x 10^{-5} C^{2}/N-m^{2}

B).Now we know that the magnitude of charge per unit area on the surface of the dielectric plate is given by

\sigma ^{'}=\sigma\left ( 1-\frac{1}{k} \right )

\sigma ^{'}=3.823\times 10^{-5}\left ( 1-\frac{1}{3.6} \right )

\sigma ^{'}=2.76\times 10^{-5} C/m^{2}

C).

Area of the plate, A = 2.5 cm^{2}

                                 = 2.5 x 10^{-4}m^{2}

diameter of the plate, d = 1.8 mm

                                        = 1800 m

∴ Total energy stored in the capacitor

U=\frac{1}{2}k\varepsilon _{0}E^{2}Ad

U=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.6\times8.85 \times10^{-12}\times\left ( 1.2\times 10^{6} \right ) ^{2}\times 2.5\times 10^{-4}\times 1800

U=10.322 J

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
Cloud [144]

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
