A flat slab of material (nm = 2.2) is d = 0.45 m thick. A beam of light in air (na = 1) is incident on the material with an angle θa = 46 degrees with respect to the surface's normal.
Numerically, what is the displacement, D, of the beam when it exits the slab?
Answer:
Explanation:
Formula of lateral displacement
[tex]S_{lateral}=\frac{t}{cosr} \times sin(i-r)[/tex]
t is thickness of slab , i and r are angle of incidence and refraction respectively .
Given t = .45 m
sin i / sin r = 2.2
sin 46 / sin r = 2.2
sin r = .719 / 2.2 = .327
r = 19°
[tex]S_{lateral}=\frac{t}{cosr} \times sin(i-r)[/tex]
[tex]S_{lateral}=\frac{.45}{cos19} \times sin(46-19)[/tex]
= .45 x .454 / .9455
= .216 m
= 21.6 cm .
The displacement, D, of the beam when it exits the slab is; 21.65 cm.
We are given;
Refractive index of slab material; nm = 2.2
Thickness of slab; t = 0.45 m
Refractive index of air; na = 1
Angle of incidence; θa = 46°
From snell's law, we can calculate the angle of refraction from;
na × sin θa = nm × sin θm
Thus;
1 × sin 46 = 2.2 × sin θm
0.7193 = 2.2 × sin θm
sin θm = 0.7193/2.2
θm = sin^(-1) 0.32695
θm = 19.08°
Formula for the displacement of the beam is;
D = (t/cos θm) × sin (θa - θm)
Plugging in the relevant values gives;
D = (0.45/cos 19.08) × sin (46 - 19.08)
D = 0.4783 × 0.4527
D = 0.2165m = 21.65 cm

The magnetic field strength at the north pole of a 2.0-cmcm-diameter, 8-cmcm-long Alnico magnet is 0.10 TT. To produce the same field with a solenoid of the same size, carrying a current of 1.8 AA , how many turns of wire would you need
Answer:
The number of turns of wire needed is 3536 turns.
Explanation:
Given;
length of the wire, L = 8 cm = 0.08 m
magnetic field on the wire, B = 0.1 T
current in the wire, I = 1.8 A
The magnetic field produced by a solenoid is calculated as;
B = μ₀ n I
where;
n is the number of turns per length = N / L
μ₀ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o N I}{L} \\\\N = \frac{BL}{\mu_o I} \\\\N = \frac{0.1 *0.08}{4\pi*10^{-7} *1.8} \\\\N = 3536.32 \ turns[/tex]
Therefore, the number of turns of wire needed is 3536 turns.

Now the radius of the sphere is halved. What happens to the flux through the sphere and the magnitude of the electric field at the surface of the sphere
Answer:
The magnitude of flux remains the same, and the field increases.
Explanation:
This is because the number of field lines leaving the sphere remains constant and the electric field increases because the line density increases
If a 140 lb. climber saved her potential energy as she descended from Mt. Everest (Elev. 29,029 ft) to Kathmandu (Elev. 4,600 ft), how long could she power her 0.4 watt flashlight
Answer: 3217.79 hours.
Explanation:
Given, A 140 lb. climber saved her potential energy as she descended from Mt. Everest (Elev. 29,029 ft) to Kathmandu (Elev. 4,600 ft).
Power = 0.4 watt
Mass of climber = 140 lb
= 140 x 0.4535 kg [∵ 1 lb= 0.4535 kg]
⇒ Mass of climber (m) = 63.50 kg
Let [tex]h_1=29,029\ ft= 8848.04\ m\ \ \ \ [ 1 ft=0.3048\ m ][/tex] and [tex]h_2= 4,600 ft = 1402.08\ m[/tex]
Now, Energy saved =[tex]mg(h_1-h_2)=(63.50)(9.8)(8848.04-1402.08)=4633620.91\ J[/tex]
[tex]\text{Power}=\dfrac{\text{energy}}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.4=\dfrac{4633620.91}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{time}=\dfrac{4633620.91}{0.4}\approx11584052.28\text{ seconds}\\\\=\dfrac{11584052.28}{3600}\text{ hours}\ \ \ [\text{1 hour = 3600 seconds}]\\\\=3217.79\text{ hours}[/tex]
Hence, she can power her 0.4 watt flashlight for 3217.79 hours.

a. twice as far.
b. one-half as far.
c. three times as far.
d. four times as far.
e. 1.4 times as far.
Answer:
d. four times as far
Explanation:
Initial velocity of car and truck, u = 0
let acceleration of both the truck and car = a
let the length of time for the acceleration = t
Let the time the truck accelerated = 2t
The distance traveled by the car is calculated as;
s = ut + ¹/₂at²
s₁ = 0(t) + ¹/₂at²
s₁ = ¹/₂at²
The distance traveled by the truck is calculated as;
s = ut + ¹/₂at²
s₂ = 0(2t) + ¹/₂a (2t)²
s₂ = ¹/₂a x 4t²
s₂ = 4 (¹/₂at²)
s₂ = 4(s₁)
Truck distance = four times car distance
Therefore, Compared with the car, the truck will travel four times as far
d. four times as far

Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 622 nm[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance of the slit to the screen is [tex]D = 5 \ m[/tex]
The order of the fringe is m = 6
The distance between the slit is [tex]d = 0.9 \ mm = 0.9 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The fringe distance is [tex]Y = 1.9 \ cm = 0.019 \ m[/tex]
Generally the for a dark fringe the fringe distance is mathematically represented as
[tex]Y = \frac{[2m - 1 ] * \lambda * D }{2d}[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = \frac{Y * 2 * d }{[2*m - 1] * D}[/tex]
substituting values
=> [tex]\lambda = \frac{0.019 * 2 * 0.9*10^{-3} }{[2*6 - 1] * 5}[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = 6.22 *10^{-7} \ m[/tex]

A single slit 1.4 mmmm wide is illuminated by 460-nmnm light. Part A What is the width of the central maximum (in cmcm ) in the diffraction pattern on a screen 5.0 mm away
Answer:
1.643*10⁻⁴cmExplanation:
In a single slit experiment, the distance on a screen from the centre point is expressed as y = [tex]\frac{\delta m \lambda d}{a}[/tex] where;
[tex]\delta m[/tex] is the first two diffraction minima = 1
[tex]\lambda[/tex] is light wavelength
d is the distance of diffraction pattern from the screen
a is the width of the slit
Given [tex]\lambda[/tex] = 460-nm = 460*10⁻⁹m
d = 5.0mm = 5*10⁻³m
a = 1.4mm = 1.4*10⁻³m
Substituting this values into the formula above to get width of the central maximum y;
y = 1*460*10⁻⁹ * 5*10⁻³/1.4*10⁻³
y = 2300*10⁻¹²/1.4*10⁻³
y = 1642.86*10⁻⁹
y = 1.643*10⁻⁶m
Converting the final value to cm,
since 100cm = 1m
x = 1.643*10⁻⁶m
x = 1.643*10⁻⁶ * 100
x = 1.643*10⁻⁴cm
Hence, the width of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern on a screen 5.0 mm away is 1.643*10⁻⁴cm

The earth would receive the signal at the speed of .202 c .
A 2.0-cm length of wire centered on the origin carries a 20-A current directed in the positive y direction. Determine the magnetic field at the point x
A 2.0-cm length of wire centered on the origin carries a 20-A current directed in the positive y direction. Determine the magnetic field at the point x = 5.0m on the x-axis.
Answer:
1.6nT [in the negative z direction]
Explanation:
The magnetic field, B, due to a distance of finite value b, is given by;
B = (μ₀IL) / (4πb[tex]\sqrt{b^2 + L^2}[/tex]) -----------(i)
Where;
I = current on the wire
L = length of the wire
μ₀ = magnetic constant = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m
From the question,
I = 20A
L = 2.0cm = 0.02m
b = 5.0m
Substitute the necessary values into equation (i)
B = (4π × 10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (4π x 5.0 [tex]\sqrt{5.0^2 + 0.02^2}[/tex])
B = (10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (5.0 [tex]\sqrt{5.0^2 + 0.02^2}[/tex])
B = (10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (5.0 [tex]\sqrt{25.0004}[/tex])
B = (10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (25.0)
B = 1.6 x 10⁻⁹T
B = 1.6nT
Therefore, the magnetic field at the point x = 5.0m on the x-axis is 1.6nT.
PS: Since the current is directed in the positive y direction, from the right hand rule, the magnetic field is directed in the negative z-direction.
shows a mixing tank initially containing 2000 lb of liquid water. The tank is fitted with two inlet pipes, one delivering hot water at a mass flow rate of .8 lb/s and the other delivering cold water at a mass flow rate of 1.2 lb/s. Water exits through a single exit pipe at a mass flow rate of 2.5 lb/s. Determine the amount of water, in lb, in the tank after one hour
Answer:
the water that remain in the tank in one hour will be 200 lb
Explanation:
Initial mass of water in the tank = 2000 lb
hot water is delivered through the first inlet pipe at a rate of = 0.8 lb/s
cold water is delivered through the second inlet pipe at a rate of = 1.2 lb/s
exit pipe flow rate = 2.5 lb/s
amount of water in the tank after one hour = ?
In one hour, there are 60 x 60 seconds = 3600 sec, therefore
the water through the first inlet pipe in one hour = 0.8 x 3600 = 2880 lb
the water through the second inlet pipe in one hour = 1.2 x 3600 = 4320 lb
the water through the exit in one hour = 2.5 x 3600 = 9000 lb
The total amount of water in the tank = 2000 + 2880 + 4320 = 9200 lb
The total amount of water that leaves the tank = 9000 lb
therefore, in one hour, the water that remain in the tank will be
==> 9200 lb - 9000 lb = 200 lb

A flat loop of wire consisting of a single turn of cross-sectional area 8.60 cm2 is perpendicular to a magnetic field that increases uniformly in magnitude from 0.500 T to 2.40 T in 1.02 s. What is the resulting induced current if the loop has a resistance of 2.80
Answer:
The induced current is [tex]I = 5.72*10^{-4 } \ A[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The cross-sectional area is [tex]A = 8.60 \ cm^2 = \frac{8.60 }{10000} = 8.60 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]
The initial value of magnetic field is [tex]B_1 = 0.500 \ T[/tex]
The value of magnetic field at time t is [tex]B_f = 2.40 \ T[/tex]
The number of turns is N = 1
The time taken is [tex]dt[/tex]= 1.02 \ s
The resistance of the loop is [tex]R = 2.80\ \Omega[/tex]
Generally the induced emf is mathematically represented as
[tex]e = - \frac{d \phi}{dt }[/tex]
Where [tex]d \phi[/tex] is the change n the magnetic flux which is mathematically represented as
[tex]d \phi = N *A * d B[/tex]
Where [tex]dB[/tex] is the change in magnetic field which is mathematically represented as
[tex]d B = B_f - B_i[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]d B = 2.40 - 0.500[/tex]
[tex]d B = 1.9 \ T[/tex]
So
[tex]d \phi = 1 * 1.9 * 8.60 *10^{-4}[/tex]
[tex]d \phi = 1.63*10^{-3} \ T[/tex]
So
[tex]e = - \frac{1.63 *10^{-3}}{ 1.02 }[/tex]
[tex]e = - 1.60*10^{-3} \ V[/tex]
Here the negative only indicates that the emf is acting in opposite direction of the motion producing it so the magnitude of the emf is
[tex]e = 1.60*10^{-3} \ V[/tex]
Now the induced current is evaluated as follows
[tex]I = \frac{e}{R }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]I = \frac{1.60 *10^{-3}}{2.80 }[/tex]
[tex]I = 5.72*10^{-4 } \ A[/tex]
Two sound waves W1 and W2, of the same wavelength interfere destructively at point P. The waves originate from two in phase speakers. W1 travels 36m and W2 travels 24m before reaching point P. Which of the following values could be the wave length of the sound waves?
a. 24m
b. 12m
c. 6m
d. 4m
Answer:
a. 24 m
Explanation:
Destructive interference occurs when two waves arrive at a point, out of phase. In a completely destructive interference, the two waves cancel out, but in a partially destructive interference, they produce a wave with a time varying amplitude, but maintain a wavelength the wavelength of one of the original waves. Since the two waves does not undergo complete destructive interference, then the possible value of the new wave formed can only be 24 m, from the options given.

A disk of radius 25.0cm turns about an axis through the center. The pull on the string produces a linear acceleration a(t)=At on the ball The disk starts from rest and after 3 seconds, linear a(3)=1.80m/s2. Find A and then write an expression for the angular acceleration α(t).
Answer:
The value for A is A= 0.6
The angular acceleration is [tex]\alpha (t) = 2.4 \ t \ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The radius of the disk is [tex]r = 25.0 \ cm = 0.25 \ m[/tex]
The linear acceleration is [tex]a(t) = At[/tex]
At time [tex]t = 3 \ s[/tex]
[tex]a(3) = 1.80 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Generally angular acceleration is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha(t) = \frac{a(t)}{r}[/tex]
Now at t = 3 seconds
a(3) = A * 3
=> 1.80 = A * 3
=.> A = 0.6
So therefore
a(t) = 0.6 t
Now substituting this into formula for angular acceleration
[tex]\alpha (t) = \frac{0.6 t }{R}[/tex]
substituting for r
[tex]\alpha (t) = \frac{0.6 t }{0.25}[/tex]
[tex]\alpha (t) = 2.4 \ t \ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:
Using E = q/A*eo
And
q =75*10^-6 C
A = 0.25
eo = 8.85*10^-12
Energy density = 1/2*eo*(E^2) = 1/2*eo*(q/A*eo)^2 = [q^2] / [2*(A^2)*eo]
= [(75*10^-6)^2] / [2*(0.25)^2*8.85*10^-12]

In a fluorescent tube of diameter 3 cm, 3 1018 electrons and 0.75 1018 positive ions (with a charge of e) flow through a cross-sectional area each second. What is the current in the tube
Answer:
The current in the tube is 0.601 A
Explanation:
Given;
diameter of the fluorescent, d = 3 cm
negative charge flowing in the fluorescent tube, -e = 3 x 10¹⁸ electrons/second
positive charge flowing in the fluorescent tube, +e = 0.75 x 10¹⁸ electrons/ second
The current in the fluorescent tube is due to presence of positive and negative charges to create neutrality in the conductor (fluorescent tube).
Q = It
I = Q/t
where;
I is current in Ampere (A)
Q is charge in Coulombs (C)
t is time is seconds (s)
1 e = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
3 x 10¹⁸ e/ s = ?
= (3 x 10¹⁸ e/s x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C) / 1e
= 0.4806 C/s
negative charge per second (Q/t) = 0.4806 C/s
positive charge per second (Q/t) = (0.75 x 10¹⁸ e/s x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C) / 1e
positive charge per second (Q/t) = 0.12015 C/s
Total charge per second in the tube, Q / t = (0.4806 C/s + 0.12015 C/s)
I = 0.601 A
Therefore, the current in the tube is 0.601 A
When a potential difference of 10 V is placed across a certain solid cylindrical resistor, the current through it is 2 A. If the diameter of this resistor is now tripled, the current will be
Answer:
The current will be 18 A
Explanation:
Given;
potential difference, V = 10 V
current between the resistor, I = 2 A
Apply ohm's law;
V = IR
R = V / I
R = 10 / 2
R = 5Ω
Resistance is given as;
[tex]R = \frac{\rho l}{A}[/tex]
where;
ρ is resistivity
l is length
A is area
[tex]R = \frac{\rho l}{A} \\\\R = \frac{\rho l}{\pi r^2} = \frac{\rho l}{\pi (\frac{d}{2}) ^2} = \frac{\rho l}{\pi (\frac{d^2}{4}) }\\\\R = \frac{4*\rho l}{\pi d^2} \\\\R = (\frac{4*\rho l}{\pi } )\frac{1}{d^2} \\\\R = (k)\frac{1}{d^2} \\\\k = Rd^2\\\\R_1d_1^2 = R_2d_2^2\\\\R_2 = \frac{R_1d_1^2}{d_2^2}[/tex]
When the diameter of the resistor is tripled
d₂ = 3d₁
[tex]R_2 = \frac{5*d_1^2}{(3d_1)^2} \\\\R_2 = \frac{5d_1^2}{9d_1^2} \\\\R_2 = 0.556 \ ohms[/tex]
The current is now calculated as;
Apply ohms law;
V = IR
I = V / R
I = 10 / 0.556
I = 17.99 A
I = 18 A
Therefore, the current will be 18 A

The displacement of the material will be calculated by subtracting the surface elevation of 2.5 km from the 50 km thick crust. Therefore 50-25= 47.5 km.
Thus let the density of the material be Pm
50*3= 47.5*Pm
Therefore: Pm= (50*3)/47.5= 3.16gram per centimeter cube
Thus with an average density of 2.8gram per centimeter cube
50*2.8= (50-x)*3.16
(50-x)= (50*2.8)/3.16
50-x=44.3
x=50-44.3= 5.7

An appliance with a 20.0-2 resistor has a power rating of 15.0 W. Find the maximum current which can flow safely through the appliance g
Q: An appliance with a 20 Ω resistor has a power rating of 15.0 W. Find the maximum current which can flow safely through the appliance g
Answer:
0.866 A
Explanation:
From the question,
P = I²R............................. Equation 1
Where P = power, I = maximum current, R = Resistance.
Make I the subject of the equation
I = √(P/R).................... Equation 2
Given: P = 15 W, R = 20 Ω
Substitute these values into equation 2
I = √(15/20)
I = √(0.75)
I = 0.866 A
Hence the maximum current that can flow safely through the appliance = 0.866 A
A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 98.5 km/h, except for a 20.0-min rest stop. The person's average speed is 68.8 km/h. (a) How much time is spent on the trip? h (b) How far does the person travel? km
Answer:
Total time taken(T) = 1.1 hour
Distance = 75.68 km
Explanation:
Given:
Average speed = 68.8 km/h
Constant speed = 98.5 km/h
Rest time = 20 min = 20 / 60 = 0.3333 hour
Find:
Total time taken(T)
Total distance (D)
Computation:
Distance = speed × time
D = 68.8 × t.........Eq1
and
D = 98.5 × [t-0.33]
D = 98.5 t - 32.8333.........Eq2
From Eq1 and Eq2
68.8 t = 98.5 t - 32.83333
29.7 t = 32.83333
t = 1.1
Total time taken(T) = 1.1 hour
Distance = speed × time
Distance = 68.8 × 1.1
Distance = 75.68 km
A wire carries current in the plane of this screen toward the top of the screen. The wire experiences a magnetic force toward the right edge of the screen. Is the direction of the magnetic field causing this force
Answer:
The direction of the magnetic field causing this force is
In the plane of the screen and towards the bottom of the egde
Explanation:
This is by applying Fleming s right hand rule which explains that
When a conductor such as a wire attached to a circuit moves through a magnetic field, an electric current is induced in the wire due to Faraday's law of induction. The current in the wire can have two possible directions. Fleming's right-hand rule gives which direction the current flows.
The right hand is held with the thumb, index finger and middle finger mutually perpendicular to each other (at right angles), as shown in the diagram.[1]
The thumb is pointed in the direction of the motion of the conductor relative to the magnetic field.
The first finger is pointed in the direction of the magnetic field. (north to south)
Then the second finger represents the direction of the induced or generated current within the conductor (from the terminal with lower electric potential to the terminal with higher electric potential, as in a voltage source)

Two uniform solid balls are rolling without slipping at a constant speed. Ball 1 has twice the diameter, half the mass, and one-third the speed of ball 2. The kinetic energy of ball 2 is 37.0 J.
Part A What is the kinetic energy of ball 1?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
K7 = Value Units
Answer:
The kinetic energy of the ball 1 is 2.06 J
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of a rolling object K = 1/2Iω² + 1/2mv² where I is its rotational inertia, ω its angular speed, m its mass and v = its velocity of center of mass.
Let m₁, I₁, v₁, d₁ represent the mass, rotational inertia, speed and diameter of solid ball 1. and Let m₂, I₂, v₂, d₂ represent the mass, rotational inertia, speed and diameter of solid ball 2.
Since both objects are spheres, I =2/5mr²
Let r₁ = radius of ball 1 and r₂ = radius of ball 2. Since d₂ = 2d₁
⇒ 2r₂ = 4r₁ ⇒ r₂ = 2r₁
Now, the the kinetic energy of sphere 1 is
K₁ = 1/2I₁ω₁² + 1/2m₁v₁² ω₁ = v₁/r₁ which is the angular speed of solid ball 1.
K₁ = 1/2(2/5mr²)v₁²/r₁² + 1/2m₁v₁²
K₁ = 1/5m₁v₁² + 1/2m₁v₁²
K₁ = 7/10m₁v₁²
Also, the the kinetic energy of sphere 2 is
K₂ = 1/2I₂ω₂² + 1/2m₂v₂² ω₂ = v₂/r₂ which is the angular speed of solid ball 2.
K₂ = 1/2(2/5m₂r₂²)v₂²/r₂² + 1/2m₂v₂²
K₂ = 1/5m₂v₂² + 1/2m₂v₂²
K₂ = 7/10m₂v₂²
Now, m₁ = m₂/2 and v₁ = v₂/3
Substituting these into K₁, we have
K₁ = 7/10(m₂/2)(v₂/3)²
K₁ = 7/10 × 1/18m₂v₂²
K₁ = (1/18)(7/10m₂v₂²)
K₁ = K₂/18
K₂ = 37.0 J/18
K₂ = 2.06 J
So, the kinetic energy of the ball 1 is 2.06 J
