The beam is refracted at 53.17-degree angle (asin 0.800414 = 53.17-degree). This problem can be solved by using the Snell's Law which described the refracted beam angle which traveled through a different media, in this case, through water and air. The formula of Snell's Law is stated as n1 sin θ1= n2 sin θ2. In this formula n1 is the refraction index of medium 1, θ1 is the normal light angle in the medium 1, n2 is the refraction index of medium 2, and θ2 is the normal light angle in the medium 2<span>. </span>

A golfer tees off and hits a golf ball at a speed of 31 m/s and at an angle of 35 degrees. How long was the ball in the air? Rou
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

3.6 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = y = 0 m

v₀ = 31 sin 35° m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 0 + (31 sin 35°) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

0 = 17.78t − 4.9t²

0 = t (17.78 − 4.9t)

t = 0 or 3.63

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the ball lands after 3.6 seconds.

At an instant a traffic light turns green an automobile that has been waiting at an intersection of the road accelerates with 5m
joja [24]

1) The car overtakes the truck at a distance of 160 m far from the intersection.

2) The velocity of the car is 40 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The car is travelling with a constant acceleration starting from rest, so its position at time t (measured taking the intersection as the origin) is given by

x_c(t) = \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

a=5 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t is the time

On the other hand, the truck is travelling at a constant velocity, therefore its position at time t is given by

x_t(t) = vt

where

v = 20 m/s is the velocity of the truck

t is the time

The car overtakes the truck when the two positions are the  same, so when

x_c(t) = x_t(t)\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = vt\\t=\frac{2v}{a}=\frac{2(20)}{5}=8 s

So, after a time of 8 seconds. Therefore, the distance covered by the car during this time is

x_c(8) = \frac{1}{2}(5)(8)^2=160 m

So, the car overtakes the truck 160 m far from the intersection.

2)

The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so the velocity of the car at time t is given by the suvat equation

v=u+at

where

v is the velocity at time t

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

For the car in this problem, we have:

u = 0 (it starts  from rest)

a=5 m/s^2

And we know that the car overtakes the truck when

t = 8 s

Substituting into the equation,

v=0+(5)(8)=40 m/s
