PHYSICS

The document contains multiple physics problems involving topics like geometric optics, fluid statics, fluid dynamics, and momentum/impulse. It provides the relevant equations, known values, and step-by-step workings to arrive at the answers for each problem. Some examples include calculating the index of refraction from a light refraction diagram, determining the pressure difference between the brain and feet due to blood hydrostatic pressure, and finding the speed a car would need to travel to have the same momentum as a running grizzly bear.

LIGHT

Ex 1.The diagram at the right shows light refracting from material A into material B. The index of
refraction of material A is 2.24. Use your protractor to measure angles and determine the index
of refraction of material B. (HINT: The angle measures are multiples of 15 degrees.)

Answer:

Angle of incidence: 15°

Angle of refraction: 30°

Index of Refraction: 1.16

Ex 2.Ray Zuvlite is playing with his underwater laser. He descends beneath the water surface in
his backyard pool to a vertical depth of 7.09 feet and directs the laser beam at an angle towards
the pool's edge. The beam emerges from water (n=1.33) into air at the pool's very edge and
projects onto a pool house which is located 17.21 feet horizontally from the pool's edge. The
dot on the pool house is observed to be located at a vertical height of 8.75 feet. Determine the
distance which Ray is located horizontally out from the edge of the pool.

GEOMETRIC OPTICS

An object 1.50 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is
measured to be 0.167 cm high.

A. What is the magnification?

B Where is the image?


C. Find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror formed by the cornea.

(Note that this technique is used by optometrists to measure the curvature of the cornea for
contact lens fitting. The instrument used is called a keratometer, or curve measurer.)

Solution:

FLUID STATICS

What is the difference between the hydrostatic pressure of blood between the brain and the
soles of the feet of a person whose height 165 cm (suppose the density of blood = 1.0 ×
103 kg/m3, acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s2)

Known :

Height (h) = 165 cm = 165/100 m = 1.65 meters


Density of bloods (ρ) = 1.0 × 103 kg/m3

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s2

Wanted: liquid pressure

Solution :

P=ρgh

P = (1.0 × 103)(10)(1.65)

P = (1.0 × 104)(1.65)

P = 1.65 x 104 N/m2

FLUID DYNAMICS

The speed of water in pipe A (vA) = v

Wanted: The speed of water in pipe C (vC)

Solution :

The equation of continuity :

AA vA = AC vC

8 v = 3 vC

vC = 8/3 v

MOMENTUM AND IMPULSE

Now, the bears I live with average, the males, eight to twelve hundred pounds [360 to 540 kg].
They're the largest bears in the world…. They've been clocked at 41 [mph] and they've run a
hundred meter dash in 5.85 seconds, which a human on steroids doesn't even approach-
Timothy Treadwell, 2001

A.Compute the speed of a grizzly bear using Mr. Treadwell's hundred meter statement.

Compute the momentum of a grizzly bear using the speed you calculated in part a. and the
average mass stated by Mr. Treadwell.

How fast would a 250 lb man have to run to have the same momentum you calculated in part
b? (Do not use a calculator to compute your answer.)

How fast would a 4000 lb car have to drive to have the same momentum you calculated in part
b? (Do not use a calculator to compute your answer.)

Speed is distance over time.

v = ∆s∆tv = 100 m 5.85 s v = 17 m/s

B.Momentum is mass times velocity. Let's use a mass in the middle of the range stated by Mr.
Treadwell.

p = mv

p = (450 kg)(17 m/s)

p = 7700 kg m/s
C.Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, which makes the two quantities inversely
proportional. Mass goes down when we replace the 1000 pound grizzly bear with a 250 pound
man. To keep the momentum constant, the man will have to run faster — faster by an amount
that is inversely proportional to the decrease in weight. Since our hypothetical man has ¼ the
mass of a grizzly, he needs to run 4 times faster to have the same momentum. With numbers
this simple, you should be able to compute the answers without a calculator.

p = mv ⇒ p = (¼m)(4v)

That's 68 m/s in International units or 164 mph in Anglo-American units. When it comes to
momentum, a bear at top speed is like a man running as fast as a race car.

vman = 4vbear vman = 4(17 m/s) = 68 m/svman = 4(41 mph) = 164 mph

D.Use reasoning similar to part c. Mass goes up when we replace the 1000 pound grizzly bear
with a 4000 pound car. Four times the mass needs ¼ the speed to have the same momentum.
Once again, the numbers are simple.

p = mv ⇒ p = (4m)(¼v)

That's 4.25 m/s or 10.25 mph. A bear at top speed is like a car driving through a parking lot.

vcar = ¼vbear vcar = ¼(17 m/s) = 4.25 m/svcar = ¼(41 mph) = 10.25 mph
