A submarine periscope uses two totally reflecting 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection on the sides adjacent to the 45

degree angles. Explain why the periscope will no longer work if it springs a leak and the bottom prism is covered with water. Note: The index of refraction for water is 1.33. The index of refraction for glass is 1.52

Periscope utilizes 45-45-90 prisms that employ total internal reflection on the sides positioned next to the 45° angles. When light enters the water, the water acts as a lens, and the viewable object appears further away than it typically would.

A bus slows down uniformly from 75.0 km/h to 0 km/h in 21 s. How far does it travel before stopping?
Yuliya22 [2955]

1 hour = 3,600 seconds
1 km = 1,000 meters

75 km/hour = (75,000/3,600) m/s = 20-5/6 m/s

The mean speed during the deceleration is

                                   (1/2)(20-5/6 + 0) = 10-5/12 m/s.

Traveling at this average speed for 21 seconds,
the bus covers

                        (10-5/12) × (21) = 218.75 meters.

Astronomers determine that a certain square region in interstellar space has an area of approximately 2.4 \times 10^72.4×10 ​7 ​
Sav [2792]

Answer:

1.5 × 10³⁶ light-years

Explanation:

A particular square area in interstellar space measures roughly 2.4 × 10⁷² (light-years)². To find the area of a square, the following formula is utilized:

A = l²

where,

A represents the area of the square

l denotes the length of one side of the square

Thus, l = √A = √2.4 × 10⁷² (light-years)² = 1.5 × 10³⁶ light-years

A crate with a mass of m = 450 kg rests on the horizontal deck of a ship. The coefficient of static friction between the crate a
Sav [2792]

Answer:F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg

The force required has a magnitude of 2601.9 N

Explanation:

m = 450 kg

Static friction coefficient μs = 0.73

Kinetic friction coefficient μk = 0.59

The force necessary to initiate movement of the crate is F_{s} =\mu_{s} mg.

Once the crate begins to move, the frictional force decreases to F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg.

To maintain the motion of the crate at a steady velocity, we must lower the pushing force to F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg.

Subsequently, the pushing force aligns with the frictional force stemming from kinetic friction, enabling balanced forces and consistent velocity.

<pMagnitude of the force

F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg\\F_{v} =0.59 \times 450 \times 9.8\\F_{v} =2601.9 N
