Yes for an object moving on a horizontal plane, R = mg (where mg = weight). therefore, for an object moving on a horizontal plane: F = μmg

A light wave moves from diamond (n= 2.4) into water (n= 1.33) at an angleof 24°. what angle does it have in water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2      Snell's Law       (θ1 is the angle of incidence)

sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734

θ2 = 47.2 deg

What are potential impacts of pollution on a watershed? Check all that apply.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

contaminated drinking water

deaths of sea creatures that are used as a food source

limits to potential economic activities such as a fishing

Explanation:

A watershed is a large area that comprises of drainage area of all the surrounding water bodies meeting at a common affluence point before draining into sea or ocean or any other large water body. Pollution in this area can pollute the small water streams flowing through it, thereby polluting the larger water body into which it drains.  

Thus, the water extracted for drinking from such area will be contaminated. Pollution in larger water body can cause death of water creature and hence pose a threat to fishing.

Light of wavelength 480 nm illuminates a pair of slits separated by 0.27 mm. If a screen is place 1.7 m from the slits, determin
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

  Δy = 6.05 mm

Explanation:

The double slit phenomenon is described by the expression

      d sin θ = m λ                constructive interference

      d sin θ = (m + ½) λ       destructive interference

      m = 0,±1, ±2, ...

As they tell us that they measure the dark stripes, we are in a case of destructive interference, let's use trigonometry to find the sins tea

      tan θ = y / x

      y = x tan θ

In the interference experiments the measured angle is very small so we can approximate the tangent

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

     cos θ = 1

     tan θ = sin θ

     y = x sin θ

We substitute in the destructive interference equation

     d (y / x) = (m + ½) λ

    y = (m + ½) λ x / d

The first dark strip occurs for m = 0 and the third dark strip for m = 2. Let's find the distance for these and subtract it

 m = 0

      y₀ = (0+ ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

      y₀ = 1.511 10⁻³ m

 m = 2

     y₂ = (2 + ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

     y₂ = 7.556 10⁻³ m

The separation between these strips is Δy

     Δy = y₂-y₀

     Δy = (7.556 - 1.511) 10⁻³

     Δy = 6.045 10⁻³ m

     Δy = 6.05 mm

Much of the energy of falling water in a waterfall is converted into heat. If all the mechanical energy is converted into heat t
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Explanation:

potential energy of water is converted into heat energy

P E = mgh = m x 9.8 x 111

= 1087.8 m .

Let rise in temperature θ

m x s x θ = heat absorbed

m x s x θ =  1087.8 m

m x 4182 x θ =  1087.8 m

θ = 0.26 degree celsius .

A two-stage rocket is traveling at 1200 mis with respect to the earth when the first stage runs out of fuel. Explosive bolts rel
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The speed of the second stage after separation is 4905 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of momentum, the momentum of the system first stage - second stage must remain constant before and after the separation. The momentum of the system is calculated by adding the momentums of each object:

initial momentum = final momentum

m₁₊₂ · v = m1 · v1 + m2 · v2

Where:

m₁₊₂ = mass of the two stage rocket

v = velocity of the rocket

m1 = mass of stage 1

v1 =  velocity of stage 1

m2 = mass of stage 2

v2 = velocity of stage 2

We have the following data:

m1 = 3 · m2

m₁₊₂ = m1 + m2 = 3 · m2 + m2 = 4 · m2

v = 1200 m/s

v1 = -35 m/s  (let´s consider the backward direction as negative)

v2 = ?

Then, replacing these data in the equation of momentum of the system:

m₁₊₂ · v = m1 · v1 + m2 · v2

4 m2 · 1200 m/s = 3 m2 · (-35 m/s) + m2 · v2

Let´s solve the equation for v2:

divide both sides of the equation by m2:

4 · 1200 m/s = 3 · (-35 m/s) + v2

4800 m/s = -105 m/s + v2

v2 = 4800 m/s + 105 m/s = 4905 m/s

The speed of the second stage after separation is 4905 m/s
