Skylar travels 50 meters N and then goes 30 meters W before coming straight back south 20 meters. What distance did she travel?

lesya [120]

Answer:

$100\ \text{meters}$ .

Explanation:

Distance Skylar traveled North is $50\ \text{meters}$

Then she traveled $30\ \text{meters}$ Westward.

After which she traveled $20\ \text{meters}$ towards the South.

The total distance traveled would be the sum of the distances.

$50+30+20=100\ \text{meters}$

The distance traveled by Skylar was is $100\ \text{meters}$ .

What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply. kg • m kg • N • s N • m

Vlada [557]

We know that impulse is simply the product of Force and time:

Impulse = Force * time

Since Force has a unit of Newton or kg m/s^2 and time is in seconds, therefore impulse can have units as:

N s

kg m/s

A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac

vovikov84 [41]

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

$n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Where,

${\theta_i}$ is the angle of incidence

${\theta_r}$ is the angle of refraction = 90°

${n_2}$ is the refractive index of the refraction medium

${n_1}$ is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

$n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}$

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

${sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}$

Where,

${\theta_{critical}}$ is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.

Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the

Marrrta [24]

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.

Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-

$c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}$

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.
