Answer #1

It is a problem similar to find out apparent depth.


Let the insect is at a point O. The rays OA and OB are starting from O and are refracted along AD and BC. Here AO is real depth = 3.8 cm and AI = apparent Depth = x. Using Snell's Law at point B

AS BI = AI and BO = AO because size of the pupil is very small the ray BC will enter in the eye if B is close to A.

Block 1 (3 kg) is located on the surface of a table. A hand pushes horizontally to the right on block 1 with a normal force of 27 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface equals 0.2. On a sheet of paper, draw the free body diagram for block 1 using the two-subscript notation from class. After completing the free body diagram, enter below each force and its x & y-components. Remember that the x-component...

A 10 g bullet is fired with 450 m/s into a 10 kg block that sits at rest on a wooden table 20 cm from the edge of the table. The bullet gets embedded in the block (perfectly inelastic collision). The block, with the embedded bullet, then slides to the edge of the table and drops down with some initial velocity while leaving the edge of the table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface of...

1) A block is released from point A and it slides down an incline (theta = 30 degrees) where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3. It goes 5m and hits a spring with a spring constant k = 500 N/m. While it is being acted upon by the spring, assume it is on a frictionless surface. a) How far is the spring compressed? b) How far does the block go up the plane on the rebound from the spring?...

A block of mass m = 3.3 kg is on an inclined plane with a coefficient of friction μ1 = 0.39, at an initial height h = 0.53 m above the ground. The plane is inclined at an angle θ = 44°. The block is then compressed against a spring a distance Δx = 0.13 m from its equilibrium point (the spring has a spring constant of k1 = 35 N/m) and released. At the bottom of the inclined plane...
