Answer:

The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height or depth of crater = 100 m

Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s

t = time = 4 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²

g = (200 m)/(16 s²)

g = 12.5 m/s²

on earth:

ge = 9.8 m/s²

Since,

ge < g

Therefore,

<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>

A parallel beam of light in air makes an angle of 43.5 ∘ with the surface of a glass plate having a refractive index of 1.68. Yo
aniked [119]

Answer:

a) 46.5º  b) 64.4º

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use the laws of geometric optics

a) For this part we will use the law of reflection that states that the reflected and incident angle are equal

     θ = 43.5º

This angle measured from the surface is

     θ_r = 90 -43.5

     θ_s = 46.5º

b) In this part the law of refraction must be used

     n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂. Sin θ₂

     sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

The index of air refraction is n₁ = 1

The angle is this equation is measured between the vertical line called normal, if the angles are measured with respect to the surface

     θ_s = 90 - θ

     θ_s = 90- 43.5

     θ_s = 46.5º

     sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.68  sin 46.5

     sin θ₂ = 0.4318

     θ₂ = 25.6º

The angle with respect to the surface is

     θ₂_s = 90 - 25.6

     θ₂_s = 64.4º

measured in the fourth quadrant
