Answer:

E. greater than the angle of incidence.

Explanation:

Snell's law states that:

n_i sin \theta_i = n_r sin \theta_r (1)

where

n_i, n_r are the refractive index of the first and second medium

\theta_i, \theta_r are the angle of incidence and refraction, respectively

For light moving from water to air, we have:

n_i = 1.33 (index of refraction of water)

n_r = 1.00 (index of refraction of air)

Substituting into (1) and re-arranging the equation, we get

\sin \theta_r = \frac{n_i}{n_r} sin \theta_i = 1.33 sin \theta_i

which means that

\theta_r > \theta_i

so, the correct answer is

E. greater than the angle of incidence.

Light enters air from water. The angle of refraction will be

  • A. less than the angle of incidence.
  • B. greater than or equal to the angle of incidence.
  • C. less than or equal to the angle of incidence.
  • D. equal to the angle of incidence.
  • E. greater than the angle of incidence.
<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Refractive Index is the value that calculated from the speed of light ratio in a vacuum to in a second medium of greater density. The refractive index variable is symbolized by the letter n or n' in descriptive text and mathematical equations.

Light enters air from water, the angle of refraction will be greater than the angle of incidence.

When light passed from a less dense to a more dense substance for example passing from air into water, the light is refracted towards the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular (forming a 90 degree angle) to the boundary between the two substances.

Hope it helps!

If only an external force can change the velocity of a body, how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest? 1. It
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Explanation:

If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.

You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.

The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.

A 4.4 nC charge exerts a repulsive force of 36 mN on a second charge which is located
zhenek [66]

The magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C. The principal of the Columb's law is used in the given problem.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Charges that are similar repel each other, whereas charges that are diametrically opposed attract each other.

They will repel, moving in opposite directions at the same speed. Because the magnitude and nature of the charge are the same.

The given data in the problem is;

q₁  is the charge 1 = 4.4 nC = 4.4 ×10⁻⁹ C

F is the repulsive force = 36 mN =36 ×10⁶ N

d is the distance = 0.70 m

The Coulomb force is found as;

\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\\ \rm 36\times 10^6 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 }{(0.7)^2} \times 4.4 \times 10^{-9} \times q_2\\\\\ q_2 = 8.6241  \times 10^{-19 } \ C

Hence, the magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C.

Imagine that you are working as a roller coaster designer. You want to build a record breaking coaster that goes 70.0 m/s at the
Rzqust [24]

Wow !  This is not simple.  At first, it looks like there's not enough information, because we don't know the mass of the cars.  But I"m pretty sure it turns out that we don't need to know it.

At the top of the first hill, the car's potential energy is

                                  PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

At the bottom, the car's kinetic energy is

                                 KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²) .

You said that the car's speed is 70 m/s at the bottom of the hill,
and you also said that 10% of the energy will be lost on the way
down.  So now, here comes the big jump.  Put a comment under
my answer if you don't see where I got this equation:

                                   KE = 0.9  PE

        (1/2) (mass) (70 m/s)² = (0.9) (mass) (gravity) (height)     

Divide each side by (mass): 

               (0.5) (4900 m²/s²) = (0.9) (9.8 m/s²) (height)

(There goes the mass.  As long as the whole thing is 90% efficient,
the solution will be the same for any number of cars, loaded with
any number of passengers.)

Divide each side by (0.9):

               (0.5/0.9) (4900 m²/s²) = (9.8 m/s²) (height)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²):

               Height = (5/9)(4900 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

                          =  (5 x 4900 m²/s²) / (9 x 9.8 m/s²)

                          =  (24,500 / 88.2)  (m²/s²) / (m/s²)

                          =        277-7/9    meters
                                  (about 911 feet)

A student places her 490 g physics book on a frictionless table. She pushes the book against a spring, compressing the spring by
Paul [167]

Answer:

book speed is 3.99 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 490 g = 0.490 kg

compressing x = 7.10 cm = 0.0710 m

spring constant k = 1550 N/m

to find out

book speed

solution

we know energy is conserve so

we can say

loss in spring energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy

so

\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2 = \frac{1}{2}*m*v^2    ..................1

put here value

\frac{1}{2}*1550*0.071^2 = \frac{1}{2}*0.490*v^2

v = 3.99 m/s

so book speed is 3.99 m/s
