Answer:

30.81°

Explanation:

θ₁ = angle of incidence = 50°

θ₂ = Angle of refraction

n₂ = Refractive index of glass = 1.5

n₁ = Refractive index of air = 1.0003

From Snell's Law

Using Snell's law as:

$n_1\times {sin\theta_1}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_2}$

$1.0003\times {sin50}={1.50}\times{sin\theta_2}$

Angle of refraction= sin⁻¹ 0.5122 = 30.81°.

Can someone please help me. idk what to do

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

-4.5 m/s

Explanation:

Even without doing calculations, we know that a projectile has the same speed coming down as it did going up at the same height. Since it went up at 4.5 m/s, it returns down at -4.5 m/s.

To prove it with math, use the given information:

v₀ = 4.5 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Δy = 0 m

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (4.5 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (0 m)

v = -4.5 m/s

Answer:

A) An organism with favorable genetic variation will tend to survive and breed successfully.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms that don't have the best genetic variation will die off, leaving the more genetic favored ones to survive and become better as a whole.

How fast must a 1000 kg car be moving to have a kinetic energy of:

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

$\mathrm{(a)}\: 2\: \mathrm{m/s}\\\mathrm{(b)}\: 20\: \mathrm{m/s}\\$

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ where $m$ is the mass of the object and $v$ is the velocity of the object.

We can set up the following equations with the information given:

$\mathrm{(a)}\: 2.0\cdot 10^3=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1000\cdot v^2, \\v=\fbox{$2\: \mathrm{m/s}$}$

For part B, we have the same equation, but kinetic energy is now $2.0\cdot 10^5$ .

Therefore:

$\mathrm{(b)}\: 2.0\cdot 10^5=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1000\cdot v^2, \\v=\fbox{$20\: \mathrm{m/s}$}$ .

1.45 L of 16°C water is placed in a refrigerator. The refrigerator's motor must supply an extra 10.7 W power to chill the water

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is 2.251.

Explanation:

In this case, the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator ( $COP$ ), no unit, is equal to the ratio of the heat rate received from the water to the power needed to work, that is:

$COP = \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{\dot W}$ (1)

$COP = \frac{\rho\cdot V\cdot c_{w}\cdot \Delta T}{\dot W \cdot \Delta t}$ (2)

Where:

$\dot Q_{L}$ - Heat rate received from the water, in watts.

$\dot W$ - Power, in watts.

$\rho$ - Density of water, in kilograms per cubic meter.

$V$ - Volume of water, in cubic meters.

$c_{w}$ - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.

$\Delta T$ - Temperature change, in degrees Celsius.

$\Delta t$ - Cooling time, in seconds.

If we know that $\rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $V = 1.45\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}$ , $c_{w} = 4187\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{ \circ}C}$ , $\Delta T = 10\,^{\circ}C$ , $\dot W = 10.7\,W$ and $\Delta t = 2520\,s$ , then the coefficient of refrigeration of the refrigerator is:

$COP = \frac{\rho\cdot V\cdot c_{w}\cdot \Delta T}{\dot W \cdot \Delta t}$

$COP = 2.251$

The coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is 2.251.
