<span>Wind power is produced from the wind turbines or sails that uses air flow to convert it into mechanical power. It is an alternative to fossil fuel burning, it is all around, renewable, clean, produces no greenhouse gases and uses little land. The advantages of wind power have been greatly praised by many. However, it has disadvantages. Wind power especially at farm is noisy and may spoil the view for their neighboring people. Also the amount of electricity depends on the strength of the wind. If no wind is around, no electricity is produced. </span>

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.5 at angle of incidence of 45.
Gwar [14]

Refraction is said to occur when there is a change in the speed of light.

<h3>What is the angle of refraction?</h3>

We know that refraction is said to occur when there is a change in the speed of light as it travels form one medium to another.

Given that the refractive index of the rectangular glass block is  1.5. The angle of refraction can be obtained by the use of the Snell's law;

n = sin i /sinr

n = refractive index

sini = angle of incidence

sin r = angle of refraction

sinr = sini/n

sinr = sin 45/1.5

= 0.471

r = 28 degrees

b) Now;

sinr =sin  45/1.2

sinr = 0.589

r = 36 degrees

For the glass

sinr = sin 36/1.5

sin r = 0.392

r = 23 degrees

How far should the second antenna be moved in order to receive a minimum signal from a station that broadcasts at 99.4 MHz?
raketka [301]

Answer:

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

Explanation:

We have given the frequency of the broadcast f=99.4MHz=99.4\times 10^4Hz

The speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

The distance of the antenna to receive a minimum signal from the station is given by d=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{99.4\times 10^6}=3.018m

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

How does friction make it possible for you to walk across the floor?
Tema [17]

if we are walking on a perfectly smooth ground which has no friction our force would simply cancel out the force reverted by the ground and we would fall.

We need it to help push out feet off the ground

Hope those helps :)

If a substance has a density of 2.7g/cm3 and a mass of 86.4g, what is its volume?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

32cm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

  Density of substance  = 2.7g/cm³

   Mass of substance  = 86.4g

Unknown:

Volume of substance  = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

    Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}

Since the unknown is volume we solve for it;

   mass  = density x volume

   86.4 = 2.7 x volume

    volume  = \frac{86.4}{2.7}   = 32cm³

The angle of reflection is the angle the ____ to the reflecting surface.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The angle of reflection is the angle the reflected rays make with a perpendicular line to the reflecting surface.  

Explanation:

Reflection It is the change of direction suffered by a luminous ray when hitting the surface of an object. The angle of reflection is that which is formed by the reflected ray and the normal vector to the study surface
