Answer:

shadow length 7.67 cm

Explanation:

given data:

refractive index of water is 1.33

by snell's law we have

n_{air} sin30 =n_{water} sin\theta

1*0.5 = 1.33*sin\theta

solving for\theta

sin\theta = \frac{3}{8}

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{3}{8}

\theta =  22 degree

from shadow- stick traingle

tan(90-\theta) = cot\theta = \frac{h}{s}

s = \frac{h}{cot\theta} = h tan\theta

s = 19tan22 = 7.67 cm

s = shadow length

If you put a object in front of the mirror why does it appear the opposite way
UNO [17]
It is because that is how mirrors work, they reflect light, and since we see objects because we are seeing the light these objects reflect, what is reflected back by the mirror is what we see.

Calculate the acceleration of a bus that goes
Svet_ta [14]

The acceleration of the bus is 1.11 meters per second square to the direction of motion

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

The formula of the acceleration is a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{t} , where

  • v_{1} is the initial velocity
  • v_{2} is the final velocity
  • t is the time

A bus that goes  from 10 km/h to a speed of 50 km/h in 10 seconds

→ v_{1} = 10 km/h

→ v_{2} = 50 km/h

→ t = 10 seconds

Change the unite of the time from seconds to hour

→ 1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

→ 10 seconds = \frac{10}{3600}=\frac{1}{360} hour

Substitute these values in the formula of the acceleration above

→ a=\frac{50-10}{\frac{1}{360}}

→ a = 14400 km/h²

To change the unit of acceleration to meter per second change the

  kilometer to meter and the hour to seconds

→ 1 km = 1000 m

→ 1 hour = 3600 seconds

→ a=\frac{14400*1000}{(3600)^{2}}=\frac{10}{9}

→ a = 1.11 m/sec².

The acceleration of the bus is 1.11 meters per second square to the direction of motion
