Answer:

The force due to friction is generally independent of the contact area between the two surfaces. This means that even if you have two heavy objects of the same mass, where one is half as long and twice as high as the other one, they still experience the same frictional force when you drag them over the ground.

Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize

nignag [31]

Answer:

The refractive index of glass, $\mu_{g} = 1.367$

Solution:

Brewster angle is the special case of incident angle that causes the reflected and refracted rays to be perpendicular to each other or that angle of incident which causes the complete polarization of the reflected ray.

To determine the refractive index of glass:

$tan\theta_{P} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}$ (1)

where

$\mu_{a}$ = refractive index of glass

$\mu_{g}$ = refractive index of glass

Now, using eqn (1)

$tan{53.8^{\circ}} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{1}$

$\mu_{g} = tan53.8^{\circ}$

$\mu_{g} = 1.367$

Answer:

La energía mareomotriz se produce gracias al movimiento generado por las mareas, esta energía es aprovechada por turbinas, las cuales a su vez mueven la mecánica de un alternador que genera energía eléctrica, finalmente este último esta conectado con una central en tierra que distribuye la energía hacia la comunidad.

The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gilding bird is measured to be 52.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$d=7.115s$

Explanation:

What problem says can be written mathematically as:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$v=Velocity\\t=Time\\d=Distance$

The problem itself it's really simple, we only need to replace the data provided in the previous equation, but first, let's convert the units of the velocity from cm/s to m/s because we have to work with the same units and working in meters is the most apropiate action, because is the base unit of length in the International System of Units:

$52\frac{cm}{s} *\frac{1m}{100cm} =0.52\frac{m}{s}$
