Answer:

a) V_{o}=14.30 m/s

b) a=-0.046 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The complete question is written below:

An emu moving with constant acceleration covers the distance between two points that are 92 m  apart in 6.5s. Its speed as it passes the second point is 14 m/s. What are (a) its speed at the first point and (b) its acceleration?

Since we are talking about constant acceleration, we can use the following equations:

d=x-x_{o}=(\frac{V_{o}-V}{2})t (1)

V=V_{o}+at (2)

Where:

d=92 m is the distance between the two points

V_{o} is the velocity of the emu at the first point

V=14 m/s is the velocity of the emu at the second point

t=6.5 s is the time it takes to the emu to cover the distance d

a is the emu's constant acceleration

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2>a) Speed at the first point</h2>

In this situation wi will use equation (1):

d=(\frac{V_{o}-V}{2})t (1)

Finding V_{o}:

V_{o}=\frac{2d}{t}-V (3)

V_{o}=\frac{2(92 m)}{6.5 s}-14 m/s (4)

V_{o}=14.30 m/s (5)

<h2>b) Emu's acceleration</h2>

Now we will substitute (5) in equation (2):

14 m/s=14.30 m/s+a(6.5 s) (6)

Finding a:

a=-0.046 m/s^{2} (7) This means the emu is decreasing its speed at a constant rate.

zzz [600]

Answer:

compared to the incident angle, the refracted angle is 45.56⁰

Explanation:

From Snell's law;

n₁sin(I) = n₂sin(r)

Where;

n₁ is the refractive index of light in medium 1 = 1.2

n₂ is the refractive index of light in medium 2 = 1.4

I is the incident angle

r is the refractive angle

n = \frac{1}{sin(I)}\\\\sin(I) = \frac{1}{n}\\\\sin(I) =\frac{1}{1.2}\\\\sin(I) =0.8333\\\\I = sin^-{(0.8333)

I = 56.439⁰

Applying snell's law

n_1sin(I) = n_2sin(r)\\\\sin(r) = \frac{n_1sin(I) }{n_2}\\\\sin(r) = \frac{1.2*sin(56.439) }{1.4}\\\\sin(r) = 0.714\\\\r = sin^-(0.714)\\\\r = 45.56^o

Therefore, compared to the incident angle, the refracted angle is 45.56⁰

The prefix for Bio is life so a biologist studies life of living organisms
The prefix for Geo is earth so it would be the study of earth.
What is in common would be animals and plants
what is different is an Geologist studies only earth Biologist studies everything living. I hope this was helpful and I didn't confuse you.
