A star is moving towards the earth with a speed at 90% the speed of light. It emits light, which moves away from the star at the

speed of light. Relative to us on earth, what is the speed of the light moving toward us from the star?

Answer:

The speed of light measured in any frame is c = 3.00E8 m/s.

This is one  of Einstein's  postulates of special relativity.

488 J of work is done to a box which is moved across the floor for a distance of 8.9 m. What net force is required to act on the
kvv77 [185]
According to the formula
a = f \times d
Where a is work, f is force and d is the distance that box was moved over. And from that formula, you can get that f = a/d and that is 54.83N of force

A submarine is 2.99 ✕ 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 ✕ 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a The diagram of the situation is shown on the first uploaded image

b the angle of  incidence  beam striking the water is \theta = 49.63^o

c  the angle of  refraction  beam striking the water is r = 59.7^o

d The angle the refracted beam make with respect to the horizontal is = 30.3^o

e The height of the target above sea level is  

                   h= 125.05m

Explanation:

From the diagram we see that the angle of the beam striking the water is

                   tan \theta = \frac{100}{85}

                        \theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{100}{85} )

                           = 49.63^o

According to Snell's law

                   \mu_{water} *sin(i) = \mu_{air}  *sin(r)

Where \mu_{water } is the refractive index of water =  1.333

           i is the angle of incidence

          \mu_{air} is the refractive index of air  = 1

            r is the angle of refraction

 Substituting values accordingly

          1.33 * sin (40.37) = 1 * sin(r)

    Making r the subject of the formula

                       r = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.333 *sin(40.37)}{1})

                          = 59.7^o

looking at the diagram we can see that to  obtain the angle the refraction beam makes with the horizontal   by subtracting the angle refraction from 90°

                 i.e  90 -59.7 = 30.3 °

From the diagram we see that the height  target above sea level can be obtained by this relation

                   tan \theta = \frac{h}{214}\\

Where h is the is the height

                   tan(30.3) = \frac{h}{214}

                         h = 214 * tan (30.3)

                            =125.05m

While online last week, you saw the following advertisement:
Karolina [17]
No scientific testing has been made to check for ion transfer, and the claims are purely empirical. Also, nine out of ten people is hardly a representative sample, and the people can claim whatever they want since "feeling" is subjective. This is most likely a pseudoscientific claim, made to sound legitimate to consumers. The best answer is choice D.
