Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 17PQ
Miguel, an Ultimate Frisbee player, is running three drills (Fig. P3.17). In the first drill. Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and then makes a 90° turn to the right, running an additional distance d. In the second drill, Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and makes a 95° turn to the right before running an additional distance d. In the final drill, Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and makes an 85° turn to the right before running an additional distance d.
- a. In which case did Miguel end up farthest from his starting point? In which case did he end up closest to his starting point?
- b. In which case(s) does Miguel end up farther away from his starting point than distance d?
- c. At what angle will his distance away be exactly d?

Lab-Based Section
Use the following information to answer the lab based scenario.
A student performed an experiment in an attempt to determine the index of refraction of glass.
The student used a laser and a protractor to measure a variety of angles of incidence and
refraction through a semi-circular glass prism. The design of the experiment and the student's
results are shown below.

2a) By hand (i.e., without using computer software), create a linear graph on graph paper
using the student's data. Note: You will have to manipulate the data in order to achieve a
linear function.
2b) Graphically determine the index of refraction of the semi-circular glass prism, rounding your
answer to the nearest hundredth.
Use the following information to answer the next two questions.
A laser is directed at a prism made of zircon (n = 1.92) at an incident angle of 35.0°, as shown in
the diagram.
