A scientist is carrying out an experiment to determine the index of refraction for a partially reflective material. To do this, he aims a narrow beam of light at a sample of this material, which has a smooth surface. He then varies the angle of incidence. (The incident beam is traveling through air.)
The light that gets reflected by the sample is completely polarized when the angle of incidence is 46.5°.
(a) What index of refraction describes the material?
n =
(b) If some of the incident light (at θi = 46.5°) enters the material and travels below the surface, what is the angle of refraction (in degrees)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 1.05

b) 43.6°

Explanation:

a) The index refraction that describes the material can be found using Brewster's law:

[tex] \theta_{1} = arctan(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}) [/tex]

where:

n₁ is the refractive index of the initial medium through which the light propagates (air) = 1

n₂ is the index of the material=?

θ₁ = 46.5°    

[tex] n_{2} = n_{1}tan(\theta_{1}) = tan(46.5) = 1.05 [/tex]

Hence, the material's index refraction is 1.05.

b) The angle of refraction can be found as follows:

[tex] n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theta_{2}) [/tex]

[tex]sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{sin(46.5)}{1.05} = 0.69[/tex]

[tex] \theta_{2} = arcsin(0.69) = 43.6^{\circ} [/tex]

Therefore, the angle of refraction is 43.6°.

I hope it helps you!

It is just as difficult to accelerate a car on a level horizontal surface on the Moon as it is here on Earth because

Answers

Answer:

Mass of the car is independent of gravity

Explanation:

Here, we want to state the reason why even though we have the acceleration due to gravity absent on the moon, it is still difficult to accelerate a car on a level horizontal level on the moon.

The answer to this is that the mass of the car that we want to accelerate is independent of gravity.

Had it been that gravity has an effect on the mass of the said car, then we might conclude that it will not be difficult to accelerate the car on a horizontal surface on the moon.

But due to the fact that gravity has no effect on the mass of the car to be accelerated, then the problem we have on earth with accelerating the car is the same problem we will have on the moon if we try to accelerate the car on a horizontal level surface.

The electric field 2.8 cm from a small object points toward the object with a strength of 180,000 N/C. What is the object's charge?

Answers

Answer:

2.1×10¹⁸ C

Explanation:

Using,

E = kq/r²...................... Equation 1

Where E = Electric field, q = charge, r = distance, k = coulombs constant.

make q the subject of the equation

q = Er²/k.................. Equation 2

Given: E = 180000 N/C, r = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

Constant: k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C².

Substitute these values into equation 2

q = 180000(9×10⁹)/0.028²

q = 2.1×10¹⁸ C

Hence the object charge is 2.1×10¹⁸ C

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consider points along the line connecting the two sources.Required:a. At what distance from source A is there constructive interference between points A and B?b. At what distances from source A is there destructive interference between points A and B?

Answers

Answer:

a

    [tex]z= 2.5 \ m[/tex]

b

   [tex]z = (1 \ m , 4 \ m )[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Their distance apart is  [tex]d = 5.00 \ m[/tex]

      The  wavelength of each source wave [tex]\lambda = 6.0 \ m[/tex]

Let the distance from source A  where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

              [tex]z - (d-z) = m \lambda[/tex]

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e  points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m =  0

  so

        [tex]z - (5-z) = 0[/tex]

=>     [tex]2 z - 5 = 0[/tex]

=>     [tex]z= 2.5 \ m[/tex]

Generally the path difference for destructive  interference is

           [tex]|z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}[/tex]

=>         [tex]|2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}[/tex]

=>        [tex]|2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]|2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}[/tex]

=>      [tex]z = \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}[/tex]

So  

      [tex]z = \frac{5 + 3}{2}[/tex]

      [tex]z = 4\ m[/tex]

and

      [tex]z = \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}[/tex]

=>   [tex]z = 1 \ m[/tex]

=>    [tex]z = (1 \ m , 4 \ m )[/tex]

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.047 mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 6.60 m away are 8.9 cm apart near the center of the pattern.
Determine the wavelength and frequency of the light.

Answers

Answer::

   [tex]\lambda = 634 nm[/tex]

  [tex]f = 4.73 *10^{14} \ Hz[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The  distance of separation is  [tex]d = 0.047 \ mm = 0.047 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]

       The  distance of the screen is  [tex]D = 6.60 \ m[/tex]

      The  width of the fringe is [tex]y = 8.9 \ cm = 0.089 \ m[/tex]

     

Generally the width of the width of the fringes is mathematically represented as

          [tex]y = \frac{\lambda * D }{d }[/tex]

=>       [tex]\lambda = \frac{y * d }{D }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\lambda = \frac{ 0.089 * (0.047 *10^{-3}) }{6.60 }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\lambda = 634 *10^{-9}[/tex]

=>  [tex]\lambda = 634 nm[/tex]

Generally the speed of light is mathematically represented as

         [tex]c = f * \lambda[/tex]

=>       [tex]f= \frac{ c}{\lambda }[/tex]

=>         [tex]f= \frac{ 3.0 *10^{8}}{634 *10^{-9}}[/tex]

=>     [tex]f = 4.73 *10^{14} \ Hz[/tex]

If a train travels at a constant 18.0 m/s, how far would it move in one hour? In 1.00 minute? In 1.00 second?

Answers

Explanation:

Distance = speed × time

d = (18.0 m/s) (1 hr × 3600 s/hr)

d = 64,800 m

d = 1080 m

d = (18.0 m/s) (1 s)

d = 18.0 m

To get an idea of the order of magnitude of inductance, calculate the self-inductance in henries for a solenoid with 1500 loops of wire wound on a rod 13 cm long with radius 2 cm

Answers

Answer:

The self-inductance in henries for the solenoid is 0.0274 H.

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns, N = 1500 turns

length of the solenoid, L = 13 cm = 0.13 m

radius of the wire, r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

The self-inductance in henries for a solenoid is given by;

[tex]L = \frac{\mu_oN^2A}{l}[/tex]

where;

[tex]\mu_o[/tex] is permeability of free space = [tex]4\pi*10^{-7} \ H/m[/tex]

A is the area of the solenoid = πr² = π(0.02)² = 0.00126 m²

[tex]L = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}(1500)^2*(0.00126)}{0.13} \\\\L = 0.0274 \ H[/tex]

Therefore, the self-inductance in henries for the solenoid is 0.0274 H.

Photons of wavelength 65.0 pm are Compton-scattered from a free electron which picks up a kinetic energy of 0.75 keV from the collision. What is the wavelength of the scattered photon?

Answers

0.6764*10^-10m

Explanation:

Using E= hc/wavelength

(4.14x10^-15)x(3.0x10^8)/(65x10^-12)=0.1911x10^5 eV=19.1 keV

So subtract the calculated energy from the given energy of scattered photons

9.11-0.75=18.36 keV

To find wavelength

Wavelength= hc/ E

[(4.14x 10^-15)x (3.0x10^8)]/(18.36*10^3) =0.6764^-10 m

A mass M slides downward along a rough plane surface inclined at angle \Theta\:Θ= 32.51 in degrees relative to the horizontal. Initially the mass has a speed V_0\:V 0 = 6.03 m/s, before it slides a distance L = 1.0 m down the incline. During this sliding, the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by friction is equal to the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by the gravitational force. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the incline?

Answers

Answer: μ = 0.8885

Explanation: Force due to friction is calculated as: [tex]F_{f} = \mu.N[/tex]

At an inclined plane, normal force (N) is: N = mgcosθ, in which θ=32.51.

Power associated with work done by friction is [tex]P=F_{f}.x[/tex]. The variable x is displacement the object "spent its energy".

Power associated with work done by gravitational force is P = mghcosθ, where h is height.

The decline forms with horizontal plane a triangle as draw in the picture.

To determine force due to friction:

[tex]F_{f}.x=mghcos(\theta)[/tex]

[tex]F_{f}=\frac{mghcos(\theta)}{x}[/tex]

Replacing force:

[tex]\frac{m.g.h.cos(\theta)}{x} = \mu.m.g.cos(\theta)[/tex]

[tex]\mu=\frac{h}{x}[/tex]

Calculating h using trigonometric relations:

[tex]sin(32.51) = \frac{h}{1}[/tex]

h = sin(32.51)

Coefficient of Kinetic friction is

[tex]\mu=\frac{sin(32.51)}{1}[/tex]

μ = 0.8885

For these conditions, coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.8885.

Find the angle in degrees for the third-order maximum for 577 nm wavelength yellow light falling on a diffraction grating having 1,420 lines per centimeter.

Answers

Answer:

θ = 0.14°

Explanation:

Here we will use the grating equation. The grating equation is as follows:

mλ = d Sin θ

where,

θ = angle = ?

m = order number = 3

λ = wavelength of light = 577 nm = 5.77 x 10⁻⁷ m

d = spacing between slits = 1/(1420 lines/cm) = 7.042 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore, using these values, we get:

(3)(5.77 x 10⁻⁷ m) = (7.042 x 10⁻⁴ m)Sin θ

Sin θ = (3)(5.77 x 10⁻⁷ m)/(7.042 x 10⁻⁴ m)

Sin θ = 2.46 x 10⁻³

θ = Sin⁻¹(2.46 x 10⁻³)

θ = 0.14°

Two cars are involved in a collision. At the time of the collision car A was travelling at 40 mph, car B was travelling at 60 mph. Until I tell you in which directions the cars were travelling you don't know how serious the collision was.

The cars could have been travelling in the same direction, in which case car B crashed into the back of car A, and the relative velocity between them was 20 mph. Or the cars could have been travelling in opposite directions, in which case it was a head on collision with a relative velocity between the cars of 100 mph!

Did the kinetic frictional coefficient (for the wood/aluminum and felt/aluminum cases) vary with area of contact

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Friction is defined as a force which acts at the surface of separation between two objects in contact and tends to oppose motion of one over the other.

While kinetic friction is the force that must be overcome so that a body can move with uniform speed over another.

Hence let consider one of the laws of friction which states that: '' Frictional force is independent of the area of the surfaces in contact.''

The value did not vary with area. This is because when calculating the kinetic fiction, the total contact area is not relevant and only the total weight of the system as well of as the block is put into consideration.

light bulb is connected to a 110-V source. What is the resistance of this bulb if it is a 100-W bulb

Answers

Answer:

121ohms

Explanation:

Formula used for calculating power P = current * voltage

P = IV

From ohms law, V = IR where R is the resistance. Substituting V = IR into the formula for calculating power, we will have;

P = IV

P =(V/R)V

P = V²/R

Given parameters

Power rating of the bulb P = 100 Watts

Source voltage V = 110V

Required

Resistance of the bulb R

Substituting the given parameters into the formula for calculating power to get Resistance R;

P = V²/R

100 = 110²/R

R = 110²/100

R = 110 * 110/100

R = 12100/100

R = 121 ohms

Hence, the resistance of this bulb is 121 ohms

What is the maximum wavelength of incident light for which photoelectrons will be released from gallium

Answers

Answer:

292 nm

Explanation:

The work function of gallium ∅ = 94.25 eV = 6.81 x 10^-19 J

at maximum wavelength, the energy of the photons is equal to its work function

Energy of the electron = hf

but hf = hc/λ

where h is the planck's constant = 6.63 × 10-34 m^2 kg/s

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

λ is the wavelength that this occurs, which is the maximum wavelength

Equating, we have

hc/λ =  ∅

substituting, we have

(6.63 × 10-34 x 3 x 10^8)/λ = 6.81 x 10^-19

(1.989 x 10^-25)/(6.81 x 10^-19) = λ

λ = 292.07 x 10^-9 = 292 nm

D. 3.8 MHz

Answers

Answer:

380 kHz

Explanation:

The speed of sound is taken as 1500 m/s

The length of the fetus is 1.6 cm long

The condition is that the wavelength used must be at most 1/4 of the size of the object that is to be imaged.

For this 1.6 cm baby, the wavelength must not exceed

λ = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of 1.6 cm = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x 1.6 cm = 0.4 cm =

0.4 cm = 0.004 m   this is the wavelength of the required ultrasonic sound.

we know that

v = λf

where v is the speed of a wave

λ is the wavelength of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

f = v/λ

substituting values, we have

f = 1500/0.004 = 375000 Hz

==> 375000/1000 = 375 kHz ≅ 380 kHz

A mass m = 0.7 kg is released from rest at the origin 0. The mass falls under the influence of gravity. When the mass reaches point A, it is a distance x below the origin 0; when the mass reaches point B it is a distance of 3 x below the origin 0. What is vB/vA?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]v_B/v_A=\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Explanation:

Consider the two kinematic equations for velocity and position of an object falling due to the action of gravity:

[tex]v=-g\,t\\ \\position=-\frac{1}{2} g\,t^2[/tex]

Therefore, if we consider [tex]t_A[/tex] the time for the object to reach point A, and [tex]t_B[/tex] the time for it to reach point B, then:

[tex]v_A=-g\,t_A\\v_B=-g\,t_B\\\frac{v_B}{v_A}= \frac{-g\,t_B}{-g\,t_A} =\frac{t_B}{t_A}[/tex]

Let's work in a similar way with the two different positions at those different times, and for which we have some information;

[tex]x_A=-x=-\frac{1}{2}\, g\,t_A^2\\x_B=-3\,x=-\frac{1}{2}\, g\,t_B^2\\ \\\frac{x_B}{x_A} =\frac{t_B^2}{t_A^2} \\\frac{t_B^2}{t_A^2}=\frac{-3\,x}{-x} \\\frac{t_B^2}{t_A^2}=3\\(\frac{t_B}{t_A})^2=3[/tex]

Notice that this quotient is exactly the square of the quotient of velocities we are looking for, therefore:

[tex](\frac{t_B}{t_A})^2=3\\(\frac{v_B}{v_A})^2=3\\ \frac{v_B}{v_A}=\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Answer:

a)  Q = 397.57 pC , Q = 3.18 104 pC , b) C = 1.157 10⁻¹⁰ F ,  V = 3.4375 V ,

c)  U = 54.7 nJ ,  d) ΔU = 54 nJ,

Explanation:

a) The capacity of a capacitor is defined

        C = Q / V

        Q = C V

         

can also be calculated using geometry consideration

        C = e or A / d

         

we reduce to the SI system

       A = 25.0 cm² (1 m / 10² cm) 2 = 25.0 10⁻⁴ m²

       d = 1.53 cm = 1.53 10⁻² m

we substitute

         Q = eo A / d V

         Q = 8.85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻² 275

         Q = 3.9757 10⁻¹⁰ C

         

let's reduce to pC

         Q = 3.9757 10⁻¹⁰ C (10¹² pC / 1 C)

          Q = 397.57 pC

when the capacitor is introduced into the water the dielectric constant is different

           Q = k Q₀

           Q = 80 397.57

           Q = 3.18 104 pC

b) Find capacitance and voltage after submerged in water

           C = k C₀

           C = 80 8.85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻²

           C = 1.157 10⁻¹⁰ F

           V = Vo / k

            V = 275/80

            V = 3.4375 V

c) The stored energy is

             U = ½ C V²

              U = ½, 85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻²     275²

             U = 5.47 10⁻⁸ J

let's reduce to nJ

              109 nJ = 1 J

               U = 54.7 nJ

d) energy after submerging

             U = ½ (kCo) (Vo / k) 2

             U = ½ Co Vo2 / k

             U = U₀ / k

             U = 54.7 / 80 nJ

              U = 0.68375 nJ

the energy change is

         ΔU = U₀ -U

          ΔU = 54.7 - 0.687375

The charge on the plate is calculated as follows;

[tex]Q =\frac{\varepsilon _o A}{Vd} \\\\Q_i = \frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times (25 \times 10^{-4}) }{275\times 0.0153} \\\\Q_i = 5.258 \times 10^{-15} \ C\\\\Q_i = 5.258 \times 10^{-3} pC[/tex]

Charge on the plate after immersion

[tex]Q_f = k Q_i\\\\Q_f = 80 \times 5.258 \times 10^{-3} \ pC= 0.421 \ pC[/tex]

Capacitance and potential difference after immersion

[tex]C = \frac{k\varepsilon _o A}{d} \\\\C = \frac{80 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times (25\times 10^{-4} )}{0.0153} \\\\C = 1.157 \times 10^{-10} \ F[/tex]

[tex]V = \frac{V_0}{k}\\\\V = \frac{275}{80} \\\\V = 3.44 \ V[/tex]

Change in energy of the capacitor

The initial energy of the capacitor is calculated as follows;

Astronomers discover an exoplanet (a planet of a star other than the Sun) that has an orbital period of 3.75
Earth years in its circular orbit around its sun, which is a star with a measured mass of 3.23×1030kg
. Find the radius of the exoplanet's orbit.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]r=4.24\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Orbital time period, T = 3.75 earth years

Mass of star, [tex]m=3.23\times 10^{30}\ kg[/tex]

We need to find the radius of the exoplanet's orbit. It is a concept of Kepler's third law of motion i.e.

[tex]T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3[/tex]

r is the radius of the exoplanet's orbit.

Solving for r we get :

[tex]r=(\dfrac{T^2GM}{4\pi^2})^{1/3}[/tex]

We know that, [tex]1\ \text{earth year}=3.154\times 10^7\ \text{s}[/tex]

So,

[tex]r=(\dfrac{(3.75\times 3.154\times 10^7)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 3.23\times 10^{30}}{4\pi^2})^{1/3}\\\\r=4.24\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]

So, the radius of the exoplanet's orbit is [tex]4.24\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex].

The law of reflection is quite useful for mirrors and other flat, shiny surfaces. (This sort of reflection is called specular reflection). However, you've likely been told that when you look at something, you are seeing light reflected from the object that you are looking at. This is reflection of a different sort of diffuse reflection.

Suppose that the spotlight shines so that different parts of the beam reflect off of different two surfaces, one inclined at an angle alpha (from the horizontal) and one inclined at an angle beta. What would the angular separation between the rays reflected from the two surfaces?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose initially the plane was horizontal and light was reflected back at some angle θ from the normal .

Now the reflecting surface is twisted so that is becomes inclined at angle alpha .

The reflected light will be deviated from its original direction by angle

2 x alpha .

Similarly when the reflecting surface is further twisted so that it becomes inclined at angle beta then again the reflected beam will deviated by angle

2 x beta

Hence angle between these two reflected beam

= 2 beta - 2 alpha

= 2 ( β - α )

So, angular separation between the rays reflected from the two surfaces

= 2 ( β - α ) .

A red laser beam goes from crown glass with refraction index n=1.3 to air (n=1) with an incident angle of 0.23 radians. What is the angle of refraction in degrees?

Answers

Answer:

   θ = 10.28º

Explanation:

To find the angle of refraction use the equation of refraction

        n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where index 1 is for incident light and index 2 is for refracted light.

         sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ

let's calculate

         sin = 1 / 1.3 sin 0.23

         sin = 0.175

        θ= 0.17528 rad

let's reduce to degrees

       θ = 0.17528 rad (180ª / pi rad)

       θ = 10.28º

A steel ball attached to a spring moves in simple harmonic motion. The amplitude of the ball's motion is 11.0 cm, and the spring constant is 6.00 N/m. When the ball is halfway between its equilibrium position and its maximum displacement from equilibrium, its speed is 26.1 cm/s. (a) What is the mass of the ball (in kg)? kg (b) What is the period of oscillation (in s)? s (c) What is the maximum acceleration of the ball? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.) m/s2

Answers

Answer:

a) m = 0.626 kg , b) T = 2.09 s , c)   a = 1.0544 m / s²

Explanation:

In a spring mass system the equation of motion is

        x = A cos (wt + Ф)

with      w = √(k / m)

a) velocity is defined by

        v = dx / dt

        v = - A w sin (wt + Ф)          (1)

give us that the speed is

        v = 26.1 m / s

for the point

        x = a / 2

the range of motion is a = 11.0 cm

       x = 11.0 / 2

       x = 5.5 cm

Let's find the time it takes to get to this distance

       wt + Ф = cos⁻¹ (x / A)

       wt + Ф = cos 0.5

        wt + Ф = 0.877

In the exercise they do not indicate that the body started its movement with any speed, therefore we assume that for the maximum elongation the body was released, therefore the phase is zero f

       Ф = 0

       wt = 0.877

       t = 0.877 / w

we substitute in equation 1

       26.1 = -11.0 w sin (w 0.877 / w)

        w = 26.1 / (11 sin 0.877))

        w = 3.096 rad / s

from the angular velocity equation

       w² = k / m

       m = k / w²

       m = 6 / 3,096²

       m = 0.626 kg

b) angular velocity and frequency are related

       w = 2π f

frequency and period are related

        f = 1 / T

we substitute

        w = 2π / T

        T = 2π / w

        T = 2π / 3,096

        T = 2.09 s

c) maximum acceleration

 the acceleration of defined by

        a = dv / dt

        a = - Aw² cos (wt)

the acceleration is maximum when the cosine is ±1

         a = A w²

          a = 11  3,096²

        a = 105.44 cm / s²

we reduce to m / s

        a = 1.0544 m / s²

g A smart phone charger delivers charge to the phone, in the form of electrons, at a rate of -0.75 C/s . Part A How many electrons are delivered to the

Answers

Answer:

Approximately 5 x 10^18 electrons are delivered to the smart phone charger.

Explanation:

The electric current in a circuit is the flow of charges through a circuit with time.

The charges through the circuit are due to the electrons that flow through the circuit.

An individual electrons has a charge of -1.60 x 10^-19 C on it.

If the current through the circuit is -0.75 C/s, then the number of electrons that are delivered is gotten by dividing the charge per second by the charge on an electron.

==> -0.75/(-1.60 x 10^-19) = 4.67 x 10^18 electrons ≅ 5 x 10^18 electrons are delivered to the smart phone charger.

Luz, who is skydiving, is traveling at terminal velocity with her body parallel to the ground. She then changes her body position to feet first toward the ground. What happens to her motion? She will continue to fall at the same terminal velocity because gravity has not changed. She will slow down because the air resistance will increase and be greater than gravity. She will speed up because air resistance will decrease and be less than gravity. She will begin to fall in free fall because she will have no air resistance acting on her.

Answers

Answer:

Option C - she will speed up because air resistance has reduced and be less than gravity

Explanation:

We are told that Luz is skydiving with terminal velocity and her body parallel to the ground. Now, at this point she will be experiencing a gravitational force acting downwards, and also air resistance as a result of the drag force on her body

Since the downward gravitational force on Luz is constant, she will fall with a net force of;

F_net = F_g - F_d

where;

F_net is the net force on Luz acting downwards

F_g is the gravitational force on Luz

F_d is the drag force on Luz

The drag force on her body is proportional to the surface area of attack.

We are now told that Luz changes her body position to feet first toward the ground. This means that the surface area of attack is reduced because the feet will consume less space than the frontal part of her body. Thus, the drag force will be lesser then before she changed her body position due to reduced air resistance on her body.

Now, from earlier, we saw that;

F_net = F_g - F_d

So, the lesser F_d is, the higher F_net becomes.

Thus, she will speed up because air resistance has reduced and be less than gravity.

C

A semi-circular loop consisting of one turn of wire is place in the x-y plane. A constant magnetic field B=1.7T points along the negative z-axis(into the page), and a current I=0.7A flows counterclockwisefrom the positive z-axis. The net magnetic force on the circular section of the loop points in what direction? What is the net magnetice force on the circular section of the loop?

Answers

Answer:

The direction of net magnetic force on the circular section of the loop is in the positive y-axis

The net magnetic force on the circular section of the loop is 3.74 N

Explanation:

The magnetic field strength [tex]B[/tex] = 1.7 T

the current [tex]I[/tex] = 0.7 A

The diameter of the loop = 2 m

the length of the circular section of the semi-circular loop [tex]l[/tex] = πd/2

==> [tex]l[/tex] = (3.142 x 2)/2 = 3.142 m

The force on the semi-circular is given as

F = [tex]BIl[/tex] sin ∅

but the loop is perpendicular to the field, therefore

sin ∅ = sin 90° = 1

F = 1.7 x 0.7 x 3.142 x 1 = 3.74 N

The right hand rule states that "if the fingers of the right hand are held parallel to each other in the direction of the magnetic field, and the thumb is held at right angle to the other fingers in the direction of the flow of current. The palm will push in the direction of the magnetic force on the conductor".

According to the right hand rule, the direction of net magnetic force on the circular section of the loop is in the positive y-axis
