Answer:
The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
Explanation:
Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.
When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:
where :
is the index of refraction of the 1st medium
is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium
is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)
is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)
In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:
(index of refraction of air)
approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)
Snell's Law can be rewritten as
And since , we have
And so
Which means that
The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
Answer:
aₓ = 0 , ay = -6.8125 m / s²
Explanation:
This is an exercise that we can solve with kinematics equations.
Initially the rabbit moves on the x axis with a speed of 1.10 m / s and after seeing the predator acceleration on the y axis, therefore its speed on the x axis remains constant.
x axis
vₓ = v₀ₓ = 1.10 m / s
aₓ = 0
y axis
initially it has no speed, so v₀_y = 0 and when I see the predator it accelerates, until it reaches the speed of 10.6 m / s in a time of t = 1.60 s. let's calculate the acceleration
= v_{oy} -ay t
ay = (v_{oy} -v_{y}) / t
ay = (0 -10.9) / 1.6
ay = -6.8125 m / s²
the sign indicates that the acceleration goes in the negative direction of the y axis
