Using Newton's Second Law, we can find the air resistance. We know the net force is equal to mass times acceleration.
Answer:
5. dispersion
6. 49.8°
Explanation:
5. Dispersion is the name given to the phenomenon of light of different wavelengths being bent differently. A rainbow is the result of light from a point source (the sun) being spread out by wavelength (color), a nice example of dispersion.

6. n = 1.31 is the ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction to the sine of the angle of incidence (for light passing to a medium of n = 1). When the angle of refraction is 90°, the angle of incidence is the "critical angle." So, ...
sin(90°)/sin(critical) = 1.31
critical angle = arcsin(1/1.31) ≈ 49.8°
The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the force produced by the machine to the force applied to it. Therefore, we may calculate the applied force using:
Mechanical advantage = force by machine / force applied
6 = 2 / force applied
Force applied = 1/3
Thus, the distance that the effort must move will be 1/3 inch
Answer:
7.5 m
Explanation:
= initial speed of the ball = 8 m/s
= angle of launch = 40° deg
Consider the motion along the vertical direction :
= initial velocity along vertical direction =
= 8 Sin40 = 5.14 m/s
= acceleration along vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²
= time of travel
= vertical displacement = - 1 m
Using the kinematics equation


= 1.22 sec
Consider the motion along the horizontal direction :
= initial velocity along horizontal direction =
= 8 Cos40 = 6.13 m/s
= acceleration along vertical direction = 0 m/s²
= time of travel = 1.22 sec
= horizontal displacement = ?
Using the kinematics equation


= 7.5 m
