Explanation:
<h3>a) Impulse delivered to the ball</h3>
According to the Impulse-Momentum theorem we have the following:
(1)
Where:
is the impulse
is the change in momentum
is the final momentum of the ball with mass
and final velocity (to the right) 
is the initial momentum of the ball with initial velocity (to the left) 
So:

(5)
<h3>b) Time </h3>
This time can be calculated by the following equations, taking into account the ball undergoes a maximum compression of approximately
:
(6)
(7)
Where:
is the acceleration
is the length the ball was compressed
is the time
Finding
from (7):

Answer:
A) d = 11.8m
B) d = 4.293 m
Explanation:
A) We are told that the angle of incidence;θ_i = 70°.
Now, if refraction doesn't occur, the angle of the light continues to be 70° in the water relative to the normal. Thus;
tan 70° = d/4.3m
Where d is the distance from point B at which the laser beam would strike the lakebottom.
So,d = 4.3*tan70
d = 11.8m
B) Since the light is moving from air (n1=1.00) to water (n2=1.33), we can use Snell's law to find the angle of refraction(θ_r)
So,
n1*sinθ_i = n2*sinθ_r
Thus; sinθ_r = (n1*sinθ_i)/n2
sinθ_r = (1 * sin70)/1.33
sinθ_r = 0.7065
θ_r = sin^(-1)0.7065
θ_r = 44.95°
Thus; xonsidering refraction, distance from point B at which the laser beam strikes the lake-bottom is calculated from;
d = 4.3 tan44.95
d = 4.293 m
Answer:
3,000 stars.
Explanation:
Subtract the magnitude of the single star from the magnitude of the star cluster.
(+4) - (+1) = +3
Then multiply your answer by 1000
= 3,000 is a stars.
