A light beam is traveling through an unknown substance. When it strikes a boundary between that substance and the air (nair≈1), the angle of reflection is 29.0∘ and the angle of refraction is 39.0∘. What is the index of refraction n of the substance?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.7707

Explanation:

From Snell's law,

n(1) * sin θ1 = n(2) * sinθ2

Where n(1) = refractive index of air = 1.0003

θ1 = angle of incidence

n(2) = refractive index of second substance

θ2 = angle of refraction

The angle of reflection through the unknown substance is the same as the angle of incidence of air. Thus this means that θ1 = 29°

=> 1.0003 * sin29 = n(2) * sin39

n(2) = (1.0003 * sin29) / sin39

n(2) = 0.7707

Explanation:

Answer 2

The index of refraction n of the substance is 0.7707

Snell law:

Here we know that

n(1) * sin θ1 = n(2) * sinθ2

here

n(1) = refractive index of air = 1.0003

θ1 = angle of incidence

n(2) = refractive index of second substance

θ2 = angle of refraction

The angle of reflection should be via the unknown substance that represent the same as the angle of incidence of air.

So,

θ1 = 29°

1.0003 * sin29 = n(2) * sin39

n(2) = (1.0003 * sin29) / sin39

n(2) = 0.7707

a. absolute entropy
b. Third Law entropy
c. standard entropy
d. free entropy
e. none of the above

Answers

Answer:

b. Third Law entropy  

Explanation:

Third law entropy: In physics, the term "third law entropy" or "the third law of thermodynamics" states that the specific entropy of a particular system at "absolute zero" is considered as a "well-defined constant". It occurs because any system at "zero temperature"  tends to exists or persists in its "ground state" in order for the entropy to be determined or described only by the "degeneracy" of the given ground state.

In the question above, the correct answer is option b.

Answers

Answer:

v_{f} = 74 m/s, F = 230 N

Explanation:

We can work on this exercise using the relationship between momentum and moment

        I = ∫ F dt = Δp

bold indicates vectors

we can write this equations in its components

X axis

       Fₓ t = m ( -v_{xo})

Y axis  

        t = m (v_{yf} - v_{yo})

in this case with the ball it travels horizontally v_{yo} = 0

Let's use trigonometry to write the final velocities and the force

        sin 30 = v_{yf} / vf

        cos 30 = v_{xf} / vf

        v_{yf} = vf sin 30

        v_{xf} = vf cos 30

         sin40 = F_{y} / F

         F_{y} = F sin 40

         cos 40 = Fₓ / F

         Fₓ = F cos 40

let's substitute

      F cos 40 t = m ( cos 30 - vₓ₀)

      F sin 40 t = m (v_{f} sin 30-0)

we have two equations and two unknowns, so the system can be solved

        F cos 40 0.1 = 0.4 (v_{f} cos 30 - 20)

        F sin 40 0.1 = 0.4 v_{f} sin 30

we clear fen the second equation and subtitles in the first

         F = 4 sin30 /sin40     v_{f}

         F = 3.111 v_{f}

        (3,111 v_{f}) cos 40 = 4 v_{f} cos 30 - 80

        v_{f} (3,111 cos 40 -4 cos30) = - 80

        v_{f} (- 1.0812) = - 80

        v_{f} = 73.99

        v_{f} = 74 m/s

now we can calculate the force

          F = 3.111 73.99

          F = 230 N

Consider two isolated spherical conductors each having net charge Q. The spheres have radii a and b, where b > a.
Which sphere has the higher potential?
1. the sphere of radius a
2. the sphere of radius b
3. They have the same potential

Answers

Answer:

1. the sphere of the radius a

Explanation:

Because the charge distribution for each case is spherically symmetric, we can choose a spher- ical Gaussian surface of radius r , concentric with the sphere in question.

So E = k (Q /r 2) (for r ≥ R ) , where R is the radius of the sphere being considered, either a or b .

With the choice of potential at r = ∞ being zero, the electric potential at any distance r from the center of the sphere can be expressed as V = - integraldisplay r ∞ E dr = k /Q r

(for r ≥ R ) .

On the spheres of radii a and b , we have V a = k (Q/ a)and V b = k (Q/ b), respectively.

So Since b > a , the sphere of radius a will have the higher potential.

Also recall Because E = 0 inside a conductor, the potential

5. The speed of a transverse wave on a string is 170 m/s when the string tension is 120 ????. To what value must the tension be changed to raise the wave speed to 180 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

The tension on string when the speed was raised is 134.53 N

Explanation:

Given;

Tension on the string, T = 120 N

initial speed of the transverse wave, v₁ = 170 m/s

final speed of the transverse wave, v₂ = 180 m/s

The speed of the wave is given as;

[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }[/tex]

where;

μ is mass per unit length

[tex]v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu} \\\\\mu = \frac{T}{v^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{v_1^2} = \frac{T_2}{v_2^2}[/tex]

The final tension T₂ will be calculated as;

[tex]T_2 = \frac{T_1 v_2^2}{v_1^2} \\\\T_2 = \frac{120*180^2}{170^2} \\\\T_2 = 134.53 \ N[/tex]

Therefore, the tension on string when the speed was raised is 134.53 N

A man using a 70kg garden roller on a level surface, exerts a force of 200N at 45 degrees to the ground. find the vertical force of the roller on the ground if,
i.he pulls
ii.he pushes the roller​

Answers

Answer:

i) 545.2 N  upwards

ii) 828.2 N  downwards

Explanation:

mass of the roller = 70 kg

force exerted = 200 N

angle the force makes with the ground ∅ = 45°

weight of the roller W = mg

where

m is the mass of the roller

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

weight of the roller = 70 x 9.81 = 686.7 N

The effective vertical force exerted by the man = F sin ∅ = 200 x sin 45°

==> F = 200 x 0.707 = 141.5 N

i) if the man pulls, then the exerted force will be in opposite direction to the weight of the roller vertically upwards

Resultant vertical force = 686.7 N - 141.5 N = 545.2 N  upwards

ii) if he pushes, then the exerted force will be in the direction of the weight vertically downwards

Resultant vertical force = 686.7 N + 141.5 N = 828.2 N  downwards

You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and hang a 1.8 g mass from it. This stretches the spring to a length of 5.1 cm . You then attach two small plastic beads to the opposite ends of the spring, lay the spring on a frictionless table, and give each plastic bead the same charge. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.3 cm .

Requried:
What is the magnitude of the charge (in nC) on each bead?

Answers

Answer:

2.2nC

Explanation:

Call the amount by which the spring’s unstretched length L,

the amount it stretches while hanging x1

and the amount it stretches while on the table x2.

Combining Hooke’s law with Newton’s second law, given that the stretched spring is not accelerating,

we have mg−kx1 =0, or k = mg /x1 , where k is the spring constant. On the other hand,

applying Coulomb’s law to the second part tells us ke q2/ (L+x2)2 − kx2 = 0 or q2 = kx2(L+x2)2/ke,

where ke is the Coulomb constant. Combining these,

we get q = √(mgx2(L+x2)²/x1ke =2.2nC

A 0.50-T magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the plane of a circular loop of radius 0.25 m. What is the magnitude of the magnetic flux through the loop

Answers

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic flux through the loop is 0.0982 T.m²

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of magnetic field, B = 0.5 T

radius of the loop, r = 0.25 m

Area of the loop is given by;

A = πr²

A = 3.142 x (0.25)²

A = 0.1964 m²

The magnitude of the magnetic flux through the loop is given by;

Ф = BA

Where;

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

A is area of the field

Ф = 0.5 x 0.1964

Ф = 0.0982 T.m²

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic flux through the loop is 0.0982 T.m²

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. The skin and structure of the balloon has a mass of 960kg . Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself. Determine the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift.

Answers

Answer:

602.27 kg

Explanation:

The computation of the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift is shown below:-

Volume of helium inside the ballon= (4 ÷ 3) × π × r^3

= (4 ÷ 3) × 3.14 × 6.953

= 1406.19 m3

Mass the balloon can carry = volume × (density of air-density of helium)

= 1406.19 × (1.29-0.179)

= 1562.27 kg

Mass of cargo it can carry = Mass it can carry - Mass of structure

= 1562.27 - 960

= 602.27 kg

  [tex]|v_{max} |= 0.5653 \ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  spring constant is  [tex]k = 14 \ N/m[/tex]

     The  maximum extension of the spring is  [tex]A = 6.0 \ cm = 0.06 \ m[/tex]

     The number of oscillation is  [tex]n = 30[/tex]

      The  time taken is  [tex]t = 20 \ s[/tex]

Generally the the angular speed of this oscillations is mathematically represented as

           [tex]w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}[/tex]

where T is the period which is mathematically represented as

     [tex]T = \frac{t}{n}[/tex]

substituting values

     [tex]T = \frac{20}{30 }[/tex]

     [tex]T = 0.667 \ s[/tex]

Thus  

       [tex]w = \frac{2 * 3.142 }{ 0.667}[/tex]

       [tex]w = 9.421 \ rad/s[/tex]

this angular speed can also be represented mathematically as

       [tex]w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]m =\frac{k }{w^2}[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]m =\frac{ 15 }{(9.421)^2}[/tex]

      [tex]m = 0.169 \ kg[/tex]

In SHM (simple harmonic motion )the equation for velocity is  mathematically represented as

        [tex]v = - Awsin (wt)[/tex]

The  velocity is maximum when  [tex]wt = \(90^o) \ or \ 1.5708\ rad[/tex]

     [tex]v_{max} = - A* w[/tex]

=>   [tex]|v_{max} |= A* w[/tex]

=>    [tex]|v_{max} |= 0.06 * 9.421[/tex]

=>   [tex]|v_{max} |= 0.5653 \ m/s[/tex]

Which best identifies the requirements for work to be performed? an object that has a force acting on it an object that is moving and has no net force a force acting on a motionless object a force that moves an object

Answers

Answer:

a force that moves an object

Explanation:

the formula for work is force * distance

This question involves the concepts of work, force, and displacement.

The statement that best identifies the requirements for work to be performed is "a force that moves an object".

Work is defined as the product of force applied on an object and the distance moved by the object. Mathematically,

Work = (Force)(Displacement)

Hence, both the applied force and the displacement of the object as a result of the application of the force is necessary for the work to be done. If any one of these values becomes zero, the work automatically becomes zero, which means no work is performed.

2. What would be the angular position of the second-order, two-slit, interference maxima in this case?
3. Let the slits have a width 0.310 mm . In terms of the intensity I0 at the center of the central maximum, what is the intensity at the angular position of θ1?
4. What is the intensity at the angular position of θ2?

Answers

Answer:

1) θ = 0.00118 rad, 2)  θ = 0.00236 rad , 3) I / I₀ = 0.1738, 4)  I / Io = 0.216

Explanation:

In the double-slit interference phenomenon it is explained for constructive interference by the equation

          d sin θ = m λ

1) the first order maximum occurs for m = 1

           sin θ = λ  / d

           θ = sin⁻¹ λ  / d

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

           λ  = 520 nm = 520 10⁻⁹  θ = 0.00118 radm

           d = 0.440 mm = 0.440 10⁻³ m ³

let's calculate

           θ = sin⁻¹ (520 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)

            θ = sin⁻¹ (1.18 10⁻³)

            θ = 0.00118 rad

2) the second order maximum occurs for m = 2

            θ = sin⁻¹ (m λ  / d)

            θ = sin⁻¹ (2 5¹20 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)

            θ = 0.00236 rad

3) To calculate the intensity of the interference spectrum, the diffraction phenomenon must be included, so the equation remains

          I = I₀ cos² (π d sin θ /λ ) sinc² (pi b sin θ /λ )

where the function sinc = sin x / x

and b is the width of the slits

we caption the values

             x = π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹)

             x = 2.21

            I / I₀ = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin (2.21) /2.21)²

remember angles are in radians

            I / I₀ = cos² (3.0945) [0.363] 2

            I / I₀ = 0.9978 0.1318

            I / I₀ = 0.1738

4) the maximum second intensity is

            I / I₀ = cos² (π d sinθ / λ) sinc² (πb sin θ /λ)

            x =π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹)

            x = 4.41

            I / Io = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin 4.41 / 4.41)²

            I / Io = cos² 6.273    0.216

            I / Io = 0.216

An inductor is hooked up to an AC voltage source. The voltage source has EMF V0 and frequency f. The current amplitude in the inductor is I0.
Part A
What is the reactance XL of the inductor?
Express your answer in terms of V0 and I0.
Part B
What is the inductance L of the inductor?
Express your answer in terms of V0, f, and I0.

Answers

Answer:

a. The reactance of the inductor is XL = V₀/I₀

b. The inductance of the inductor is L = V₀/2πfI₀

Explanation:

PART A

Since the voltage across the inductor V₀ = I₀XL where V₀ = e.m.f of voltage source, I₀ = current amplitude and XL = reactance of the inductor,

XL = V₀/I₀

So, the reactance of the inductor is XL = V₀/I₀

PART B

The inductance of the inductor is gotten from XL = 2πfL where f = frequency of voltage source and L = inductance of inductor

Since XL = V₀/I₀ = 2πfL

V₀/I₀ = 2πfL

L = V₀/2πfI₀

So the inductance of the inductor is L = V₀/2πfI₀

A) The reactance XL of the inductor :  [tex]\frac{V_{0} }{I_{0} }[/tex]  

B) The Inductance L of the inductor : [tex]\frac{V_{0} }{2\pi fl_{0} }[/tex]

Experiments are performed with ultracold neutrons having velocities of 7.54 m/s. (a) What is the wavelength (in nm) of such a neutron

Answers

Answer:

     λ = 52.5 nm

Explanation:

De Broglie's duality principle states that all matter has wave and particle characteristics, being related by the expression

          p = h / λ

where the moment

          p = mv

          λ = h / mv

let's calculate

        λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ / 1.675 10⁻²⁷ 7.54

        λ = 5.25 10⁻⁸ m

Let's reduce anm

       λ = 5.25 10⁻⁸ m (10⁹ nm / 1m)

       λ = 52.5 nm

If 1.7 kg of 238Pu is required to power the spacecraft's data transmitter, for how long after launch would scientists be able to receive data? Round to the nearest year. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Answers

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

The isotope of Plutonium 238Pu is used to make thermoeletric power sources for spacecraft. Suppose that a space probe was launched in 2012 with 3.5 kg of 238Pu.

(a) If the half-life of 238Pu is 87.7 yr, write a function of the form [tex]Q(t)=Q_{0}e^{-kt}[/tex] to model the quantity Q(t) of 238Pu  left after t years. Round ythe value of k to 3 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.

(b) If 1.7kg of 238Pu is required to power the spacecraft's data transmitter, for low long after launch would scientists be able to receive data? Round to the nearest year. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Answer: (a) [tex]Q(t)=3.5e^{-0.0079t}[/tex]

              (b) 91 years.

Explanation:

(a) Half-life is time it takes a substance to decrease to half of itself, i.e.:

Q(t) = [tex]0.5Q_{0}[/tex]

[tex]0.5Q_{0}=Q_{0}e^{-87.7k}[/tex]

[tex]0.5=e^{-87.7k}[/tex]

[tex]ln(0.5)=ln(e^{-87.7k})[/tex]

[tex]ln(0.5)=-87.7k[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{ln(0.5)}{-87.7}[/tex]

k = 0.0079

Knowing k and [tex]Q_{0}[/tex]=3.5kg, function is [tex]Q(t)=3.5e^{-0.0079t}[/tex]

(b) Using function:

[tex]Q(t)=3.5e^{-0.0079t}[/tex]

[tex]1.7=3.5e^{-0.0079t}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.0079t}=\frac{1.7}{3.5}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.0079t}=0.4857[/tex]

[tex]ln(e^{-0.0079t})=ln(0.4857)[/tex]

[tex]-0.0079t=-0.7221[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{-0.7221}{-0.0079}[/tex]

t = 91.41

t ≈ 91 years

Scientists will be able to receive data for approximately 91 years.

A woman was told in 2020 that she had exactly 15 years to live. If she travels away from the Earth at 0.8 c and then returns at the same speed, the last New Year's Day the doctors expect her to celebrate is:

Answers

Answer:

2035

Explanation:

The doctor does not travel with the woman, and therefore, he won't experience any relativistic effect on his time. The doctor will judge time by the time here on earth. Technically, the last new year's day the doctor, who is here on earth, would expect the woman to celebrate will be in 2020 + 15 years = 2035

Unpolarized light is passed through three successive Polaroid filters, each with its transmission axis at 45.0° to the preceding filter. What percentage of light gets through?

Answers

Answer:

The percentage is  [tex]k = 12.5 \%[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  axis is is  at  [tex]\theta = 45 ^o[/tex]

Generally the of intensity light emerging from the first polarizer is mathematically represented as

                [tex]I_{1} = \frac{I_o}{ 2}[/tex]

Where  [tex]I_o[/tex] is the intensity of unpolarized light

       Now the light emerging from the second polarizer is mathematically represented as

         [tex]I_2 = I_ 1 * cos ^2(\theta )[/tex]

         [tex]I_2 = \frac{I_o}{2} * cos ^2(45 )[/tex]

        [tex]I_2 = \frac{I_o}{2} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{I_o}{4}[/tex]

  Now the light emerging from the third  polarizer is mathematically represented as      

       [tex]I_3 = I_ 2 * cos ^2(\theta )[/tex]

       [tex]I_3 = \frac{I_o}{4} * cos ^2(45 )[/tex]

      [tex]I_3 = \frac{I_o}{8}[/tex]

Now the percentage of the intensity of light that emerged with respect to the intensity of  the unpolarized light is

      [tex]k = \frac{\frac{I_o}{8} }{I_o } * 100[/tex]

     [tex]k = 12.5 \%[/tex]

       

The percentage of light that gets through the three successive Polaroid filters is; 12.5%

We are given;

Angle of transmission axis; θ = 45°

Formula for intensity of light from first polarizer is;

I₁ = ¹/₂I₀

Formula for intensity of light from second polarizer is;

I₂ = I₁cos²θ

Formula for intensity of light from third polarizer is;

I₃ = I₂cos²(90 - θ)

Combining the 3 equations;

Put ¹/₂I₀ for I₁ in second formula to get;

I₂ = ¹/₂I₀cos²θ

Put ¹/₂I₀cos²θ for I₂ in third formula to get;

I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos²θ*cos²(90 - θ)

Plugging in 45° for θ gives;

I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos²45*cos²(90 - 45)

⇒ I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos²45*cos²45

⇒ I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos⁴45

Now, cos 45 in surd form is 1/√2. Thus;

I₃ = ¹/₂I₀(1/√2)⁴

I₃ = ¹/₂I₀(¹/₄)

I₃ = ¹/₈I₀

I₃/I₀ = ¹/₈

I₃/I₀ = 0.125

In percentage form, we have;

I₃/I₀ = 12.5%

Find an analytic expression for p(V)p(V)p(V), the pressure as a function of volume, during the adiabatic expansion.

Answers

Answer:

In an adiabatic process we have

pV γ = const..

This explains that the pressure is a function of volume, p ( V ) ,

So can be written as:

p ( V ) × V γ = p 0 V γ 0 ,

or p ( V ) = p 0 V 0 / V γ

= p 0 V 0 / V ^(7 / 5)

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long. How long is the other pipe?

Answers

Answer:

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long.

How long is the other pipe?

From above;

The formula for the frequency of open ended pipes can be expressed as:

[tex]f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}[/tex]

where n = 1 ( since half wavelength exist between those two pipes)

v = 343 m/s  and L = 2.08 m

Thus, the shorter pipe produces a frequency of :

[tex]f = \dfrac{1*343}{2*2.08}[/tex]

[tex]f = \dfrac{343}{4.16}[/tex]

[tex]f =82.45 \ Hz[/tex]

Also; we know that the beat frequency was given as 8.0 Hz

Then,

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = ( 82.45 - 8.0 )Hz

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = 74.45 Hz

Finally;

From the above equation; make Length L the subject of the formula. Then,

The length of the longer pipe is L = [tex]\dfrac{nv}{2f}[/tex]

The length of the longer pipe is L = [tex]\dfrac{1*343}{2*74.45}[/tex]

The length of the longer pipe is L = [tex]\dfrac{343}{148.9}[/tex]

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m
