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

Which factors are used to calculate the kinetic energy of an object? Check all that apply. gravity velocity volume mass height
Sonja [21]

<em>Quantities that determine the kinetic energy of a body are its </em><em>mass and velocity </em>

Answer:  <em>mass and velocity </em>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. It is given by the equation

                                       k= \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where m represents mass of the body and v represents its velocity.

Two bodies of equal velocity but different mass the heavier body will have greater kinetic energy. When an object is at rest its velocity is equal to zero. Thus its kinetic energy will be zero. Hence it can be concluded that only moving bodies have kinetic energy.

Stationary objects placed at a height possess potential energy which is the energy by virtue of their position or configuration. The total mechanical energy of a system is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.

The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum valu
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

 maximumforce is F = mg

Explanation:

For this case we must use Newton's second law,

     Σ F = m a

bold indicate vectors, so we will write it in its components x and y

 X axis

       Fₓ = maₓ

 Axis y

      Fy - W = m aa_{y}

Now let's examine our case, with indicate that the bird is level, the force of the wings can have a measured angle with respect to the x axis, where the vertical component is responsible for the lift, let's use trigonometry to find the components

      Cos θ = Fₓ / F

      Fₓ = F cos θ

      sin θ = Fy / F

      Fy = F sin θ

Let's replace and calculate

      F sin θ -w = m a

 

As the bird indicates that leveling at the same height, so the vertical acceleration is zero (ay = 0)

       F sin θ = w = mg

The maximum value of this equation occurs when the sin=1, in this case

      F = mg

Calcium has a charge of +2. The chart lists the charges of different ions.
dexar [7]
The possible resulting chemical formulas for an ionic compound with calcium given the respective charges of the ions are: CaO, CaMg, or CaF₂ and CaO, CaF₂, or CaCl₂. This is because when dealing with these compounds, you simply need to interchange the oxidation state of the two elements and place as the subscript of the element. For instance, when we have Ca²⁺ and F⁻, the result is CaF₂. However, when the oxidation states of the two compounds are equal, the subscript is 1. That is, for Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁻, the result is CaMg. And for Ca²⁺ and Cl⁻, the result is CaCl₂.

When verifying Kirchhoff's rules, you measured: (a) temperature (b) resistance (c) time (d) current
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

The correct answer is option D          

When verifying Kirchhoff's law we measure current.    

Kirchhoff's law deal with current and potential difference.              

This law was first described by the German Scientist Gustav Kirchhoff.

Kirchhoff's law stated the current arriving at the node is equal to the current moving out of the node.
