Refraction occurs when a wave enters a new medium at an angle because

Physics
1 answer:
devlian [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer

The refracted wave must obey Snell's equation

Ni sin θi = Nr sin θr

If Nr differs from Ni then sin θr  will differ from sin θi

If the wave originates from point A and ends at point B then Snell's Law shows that the time for light to get from point A to point B is a minimum.

6. An aircraft is is travelling along a runway at a Velocity of 25m/s in It accelerates at a rate of 4m/s² for a distance of 750
zysi [14]

Answer:

Take-off velocity = v = 81.39[m/s]

Explanation:

We can calculate the takeoff speed easily, using the following kinematic equation.

v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2} +2*a*x

where:

a = acceleration = 4[m/s^2]

x = distance = 750[m]

vi = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]

vf = final velocity

v_{f}=\sqrt{(25)^{2}+(2*4*750) } \\v_{f}=81.39[m/s]

If sulfur 34 undergoes alpha decay, what will I become?
ikadub [295]
It will decay into Silicon-30. Because alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons with an atomic mass of 4, you minus sulfur's atomic number by 2 and get silicon. And the atomic mass is 34 - 4 which equals 30.

A speedboat moves on a lake with initial velocity vector v1,x = 8.57 m/s and v1,y = -2.61 m/s, then accelerates for 6.67 seconds
KengaRu [80]
First, you find the velocity at each component. The general equation is:

a = (v2 - v1)/t

a,x = (v2,x - v1,x)/t
-0.105 = (v2,x - 8.57)/6.67
v2,x = 7.87 m/s

a,y = (v2,y - v1,y)/t
0.101 = (v2,y - -2.61)/6.67
v2,y = -1.94 m/s

To find the final speed, find the resultant velocity by taking the hypotenuse.

v^2 = (v2,x)^2 + (v2,y)^2
v^2 = (7.87)^2 + (-1.94)^2
v = 8.1 m/s

You are given two objects of identical size, one made of aluminum and the other of lead. You hang each object separately from a
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of lead object = volume of aluminium object = V

mass of lead object > mass of aluminium object

When both the objects immersed in water, the buoyant force acting on both the objects.

Buoyant force = Volume immersed  x density of water x gravity

As the volume of both the objects is same, so the buoyant force acting on both the objects is same.

So, weight in air of lead object is more than the weight in air of aluminium object.
