Answer:
Total internal reflection (TIR) is the phenomenon that involves the reflection of all the incident light off the boundary. TIR only takes place when both of the following two conditions are met: the light is in the more dense medium and approaching the less dense medium.

The instantaneous speed of a particle moving along one straight line is v(t) = ate−6t, where the speed v is measured in meters per second, the time t is measured in seconds, and the magnitude of the constant a is measured in meters per second squared. What is its maximum speed, expressed as a multiple of a? (Do not include units in your answer.)
Answer:
v_max = (1/6)e^-1 a
Explanation:
You have the following equation for the instantaneous speed of a particle:
[tex]v(t)=ate^{-6t}[/tex] (1)
To find the expression for the maximum speed in terms of the acceleration "a", you first derivative v(t) respect to time t:
[tex]\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[ate^{-6t}]=a[(1)e^{-6t}+t(e^{-6t}(-6))][/tex] (2)
where you have use the derivative of a product.
Next, you equal the expression (2) to zero in order to calculate t:
[tex]a[(1)e^{-6t}-6te^{-6t}]=0\\\\1-6t=0\\\\t=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
For t = 1/6 you obtain the maximum speed.
Then, you replace that value of t in the expression (1):
[tex]v_{max}=a(\frac{1}{6})e^{-6(\frac{1}{6})}=\frac{e^{-1}}{6}a[/tex]
hence, the maximum speed is v_max = ((1/6)e^-1)a
A steam engine takes in superheated steam at 270 °C and discharges condensed steam from its cylinder at 50 °C. The engine has an efficiency of 30%, and taken in 50 kJ from the hot steam per cycle. If a Carnot engine takes in the same amount of heat per cycle and operates at these temperatures, the work it can turn into is most likely to be:a) 15 kJ. b) 20 kJ. c) 10 kJ. d) 50 kJ.
Answer:
b) 20 kJ
Explanation:
Efficiency of carnot engine = (T₁ - T₂ ) / T₁ Where T₁ is temperature of hot source and T₂ is temperature of sink .
T₁ = 270 + 273 = 543K
T₂ = 50 + 273 = 323 K
Putting the given values of temperatures
efficiency = (543 - 323) / 543
= .405
heat input = 50 KJ
efficiency = output work / input heat energy
.405 = output work / 50
output work = 20.25 KJ.
= 20 KJ .

A 200.0 g block rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. It is pressed against a horizontal spring with spring constant 4500.0 N/m (assume that the spring is massless). The block is held in position such that the spring is compressed 4.00 cm shorter than its undisturbed length. The block is suddenly released and allowed to slide away on the frictionless surface. Find the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring.
Answer:
6 m/s
Explanation:
Given that :
mass of the block m = 200.0 g = 200 × 10⁻³ kg
the horizontal spring constant k = 4500.0 N/m
position of the block (distance x) = 4.00 cm = 0.04 m
To determine the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring; we applying the work done on the spring as it is stretched (or compressed) with the kinetic energy.
i.e [tex]\frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]
[tex]kx^2 = mv^2[/tex]
[tex]4500* 0.04^2 = 200*10^{-3} *v^2[/tex]
[tex]7.2 =200*10^{-3}*v^{2}[/tex]
[tex]v^{2} =\frac{7.2}{200*10^{-3}}[/tex]
[tex]v =\sqrt{\frac{7.2}{200*10^{-3}}}[/tex]
v = 6 m/s
Hence,the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring is 6 m/s
To understand thermal linear expansion in solid materials. Most materials expand when their temperatures increase. Such thermal expansion, which is explained by the increase in the average distance between the constituent molecules, plays an important role in engineering. In fact, as the temperature increases or decreases, the changes in the dimensions of various parts of bridges, machines, etc., may be significant enough to cause trouble if not taken into account. That is why power lines are always sagging and parts of metal bridges fit loosely together, allowing for some movement. It turns out that for relatively small changes in temperature, the linear dimensions change in direct proportion to the temperature.
For instance, if a rod has length L0 at a certain temperature T0 and length L at a higher temperature T, then the change in length of the rod is proportional to the change in temperature and to the initial length of the rod: L - L0 = αL0(T - T0),
or
ΔL = αL0ΔT.
Here, α is a constant called the coefficient of linear expansion; its value depends on the material. A large value of α means that the material expands substantially as the temperature increases; smaller values of α indicate that the material tends to retain its dimensions. For instance, quartz does not expand much; aluminum expands a lot. The value of α for aluminum is about 60 times that of quartz!
Questions:
A) Compared to its length in the spring, by what amount ΔLwinter does the length of the bridge decrease during the Teharian winter when the temperature hovers around -150°C?

If Jim could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 440 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long (in millions of years, in 106 years) would he take to drive to a nearby star that is 12.0 light-years away? Use 9.461 × 1012 km/light-year and 8766 hours per year (365.25 days).
Answer:
t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years
Explanation:
The equation used in the case of constant speed is:
s = vt
t = s/v
where,
s = distance = 12 light years
s = (12 light years)(9.461 x 10¹² km/light year) = 113.532 x 10¹² km
v = speed = 440 km/hr
t = time passed = ?
Therefore,
t = (113.532 x 10¹² km)/(440 km/hr)
t = 2.58 x 10¹¹ hr
Now, converting it to years:
t = (2.58 x 10¹¹ hr)(1 year/8766 hr)
t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years

53. When you turn on your CD player, the turntable accelerates from zero to 41.8 rad/s in
3.0 s. What is the angular acceleration?
or
Answer:
The angular acceleration of CD player is [tex]13.93\ rad/s^2[/tex].
Explanation:
Initial angular speed of a CD player is 0 and final angular speed is 41.8 rad/s. Time to change the angular speed is 3 s.
It is required to find the angular acceleration. The change in angular speed of the CD player divided by time taken is called its angular acceleration. It can be given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{41.8-0}{3}\\\\a=13.94\ rad/s^2[/tex]
So, the angular acceleration of CD player is [tex]13.93\ rad/s^2[/tex].
A Texas cockroach of mass 0.157 kg runs counterclockwise around the rim of a lazy Susan (a circular disk mounted on a vertical axle) that has a radius 14.9 cm, rotational inertia 5.92 x 10-3 kg·m2, and frictionless bearings. The cockroach's speed (relative to the ground) is 2.92 m/s, and the lazy Susan turns clockwise with angular velocity ω0 = 3.89 rad/s. The cockroach finds a bread crumb on the rim and, of course, stops. (a) What is the angular speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops? (b) Is mechanical energy conserved as it stops?
Answer:
-7.23 rad/s
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the cockroach, m = 0.157 kg
Radius of the disk, r = 14.9 cm = 0.149 m
Rotational Inertia, I = 5.92*10^-3 kgm²
Speed of the cockroach, v = 2.92 m/s
Angular velocity of the rim, w = 3.89 rad/s
The initial angular momentum of rim is
Iw = 5.92*10^-3 * 3.89
Iw = 2.3*10^-2 kgm²/s
The initial angular momentum of cockroach about the axle of the disk is
L = -mvr
L = -0.157 * 2.92 * 0.149
L = -0.068 kgm²/s
This means that we can get the initial angular momentum of the system by summing both together
2.3*10^-2 + -0.068
L' = -0.045 kgm²/s
After the cockroach stops, the total inertia of the spinning disk is
I(f) = I + mr²
I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 0.157 * 0.149²
I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 3.49*10^-3
I(f) = 9.41*10^-3 kgm²
Final angular momentum of the disk is
L'' = I(f).w(f)
L''= 9.41*10^-3w(f)
Using the conservation of total angular momentum, we have
-0.068 = 9.41*10^-3w(f) + 0
w(f) = -0.068 / 9.41*10^-3
w(f) = -7.23 rad/s
Therefore, the speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops is -7.23 and is directed in the opposite direction of the initial lazy Susan angular speed
b)
The mechanical energy of the cockroach is not converted as it stops
