Answer:

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2 Snell's Law (θ1 is the angle of incidence)

sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734

θ2 = 47.2 deg

Suppose that a comet has a very eccentric orbit that brings it quite close to the Sun at closest approach (perihelion) and beyon

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

16.63min

Explanation:

The question is about the period of the comet in its orbit.

To find the period you can use one of the Kepler's law:

$T^2=\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3$

T: period

G: Cavendish constant = 6.67*10^-11 Nm^2 kg^2

r: average distance = 1UA = 1.5*10^11m

M: mass of the sun = 1.99*10^30 kg

By replacing you obtain:

$T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3}=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2}{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(1.99*10^{30}kg)}(1.496*10^8m)^3}\\\\T=997.9s\approx16.63min$

the comet takes around 16.63min

A 50 kg pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0. 15 kg. If the ball is thrown with a positive velocity of 35 m/s and there is

dsp73

The velocity of the pitcher at the given mass is 0.1 m/s.

The given parameters:

Mass of the pitcher, m₁ = 50 kg
Mass of the baseball, m₂ = 0.15 kg
Velocity of the ball, u₂ = 35 m/s

Let the velocity of the pitcher = u₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the pitcher as shown below;

m₁u₁ = m₂u₂

$u_1 = \frac{m_2 u_2}{m_1} \\\\u_1 = \frac{0.15 \times 35}{50} \\\\u_1 = 0.105 \ m/s\\\\u_1 \approx 0.1 \ m/s$

Thus, the velocity of the pitcher at the given mass is 0.1 m/s.

Rami uses a disposable camera that has a flash. When he wants to take a picture, he holds a button and hears a rising whining so

ivann1987 [24]

It stores energy and delivers it in a short burst.

The whirring sound is produced by the charging of the capacitor. A capacitor is an electrical component which is capable of storing charge. When the capacitor stores charge, it is storing energy. After doing so, the capacitor releases the electrical energy that it had stored as light energy, which is seen as the flash of the camera. It must do so in a burst, because the intensity of the flash is very high and would require a high amount of energy to maintain.
