The index of refraction of the unknown material in which a ray of light is incident at 35° and refracted at 23° is 2.03

<h3>Snell's law</h3>

index of refraction (n) = Sine i / Sine r

n = Sine i / Sine r

Where

  • i is the angle of incidence
  • r is the angle of refraction
<h3>How to determine the refractive index </h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Index of refraction of oil (nₒ) = 1.38
  • Angle of incidence (i) = 35°
  • Angle of refraction (r) = 23°
  • Index of refraction of unknown material (nᵣ) =?

nₒSine i = nᵣSine r

1.38 × Sine 35 = nᵣ × Sine 23

Divide both side by Sine 23

nᵣ = (1.38 × Sine 35) / Sine 23

nᵣ = 2.03

Thus, the index of refraction of the unknown material is 2.03

A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is it’s acceleration
tresset_1 [31]

So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds.  Therefore:

Acceleration=\frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t_{final}-t_{initial}} =\frac{0m/s-15m/s}{10s-0s} =-1.5\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2.  The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.

The layer of earth that has the lightest elements is the
Sonja [21]
If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at
jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given:  u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

When cold milk
monitta

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

The internal energy (kinetic energy) of the milk particles increases thus warming the milk up, while the internal energy of the coffee particles reduce their initial average speed as they are imparting energy to the slow milk particles.
