Answer:

positive acceleration: releasing an object from a height - acceleration due to the force of gravity, the speed of the object will increase as it falls

negative acceleration: applying breaks on the tires to slow down the car - deceleration due to frictional forces

Answer:

The angular separation equals $0.35^{o}$

Explanation:

We have according to Snell's law

$n_{1}sin(\theta _{1})=n_{2}sin(\theta _{2})$

$\therefore \theta _{2}=sin^{-1}(\frac{n_{1}sin(\theta _{1})}{n_{2}})$

Using this equation for both the colors separately we have

$\theta _{red}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(23.90^{o})}{1.62})\\\\\theta _{red}=14.48^{o}$

Similarly for violet light we have

$\theta _{violet}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(23.90^{o})}{1.660})\\\\\theta _{violet}=14.13^{o}$

Thus the angular separation becomes

$\Delta \theta =14.48-14.13=0.35^{o}$

An ice cube at 0c was dropped into 30.0 g of water in a cup at 45.0c. at the instant that all of the ice was melted, the tempera

Ede4ka [16]

The amount of heat given by the water to the block of ice can be calculated by using
$Q=m_w C_{sw} \Delta T_w$
where
$m_w = 30 g$ is the mass of the water
$C_{sw}=4.18 J/(g ^{\circ}C)$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T_w = 45.0^{\circ}-19.5^{\circ}C = 20.5^{\circ}C$ is the variation of temperature of the water.

Using these numbers, we find
$Q=(30 g)(4.18 J/(g^{\circ}C))(20.5^{\circ}C)=2571 J$

This is the amount of heat released by the water, but this is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the ice, used to melt it into water according to the formula:
$Q = m_i L_f$
where $m_i$ is the mass of the ice while $L_f =334 J/g$ is the specific latent heat of fusion of the ice.
Re-arranging this formula and using the heat Q that we found previously, we can calculate the mass of the ice:
$m_i = \frac{Q}{L_f}= \frac{2571 J}{334 J/g} =7.7 g$
