A motorboat approaches you head-on and sounds one short blast. how do you signal that you agree to let it pass on your port (lef

t) side?

The blast made by the vessel's driver is telling you that he intends to pass by your left side. If you agree with his intention, you will respond by sounding one short blast in return. If you are not in agreement with this move or you do not really understand the intention of the driver, you will give the danger signal which is five short rapid blasts.

What is the mass of a 735-N weight on Earth?
Allisa [31]
W = mg,      Assuming g ≈ 9.8 m/s² on the earth surface.

735 N =  m* 9.8

735/9.8 =  m

75 = m

Mass , m = 75 kg.  B.

How is the mass and speed of a particle related to its kinetic energy?
jasenka [17]
The higher mass of a particle means it’ll be harder to move, slowing it down and the faster the particle is moving the higher the kinetic energy because there is more movement and pressure within the object with the energy

What is the speed of a commercial jet which travels form New York to Los Angeles (4800) in 6 hours
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Speed = 800km}/hr

Explanation:

Given

Distance = 4800km

Time = 6hr

Required

Determine the speed of the jet

The speed is calculated as:

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Substitute 4800 km for Distance and 6hr for Time

Speed = \frac{4800km}{6hr}

Speed = 800km}/hr

<em>Hence, the speed of the commercial jet is 800km/hr</em>

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 57.0° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle
Contact [7]
<h2>Answers: </h2>

1) 1.359, 1.403

2) 2.207(10)^{8}m/s,  2.138(10)^{8}m/s    

Explanation:

The described situation is known as Refraction.  

Refraction is a phenomenon in which a wave (the light in this case) bends or changes it direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.  

In this context, the Refractive index n is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum (c=3(10)^{8}m/s) and the speed of light v in the second medium:

n=\frac{c}{v}   (1)

On the other hand we have the Snell’s Law:  

n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})=n_{2}sin(\theta_{2})   (2)  

Where:  

n_{1} is the first medium refractive index . We are told is the air, hence n_{1}\approx 1

n_{2} is the second medium refractive index  

\theta_{1} is the angle of the incident ray  

\theta_{2} is the angle of the refracted ray  

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2><u>1) Indexes of refraction for red and violet light</u></h2><h2 /><h2>1a) Red light</h2>

Using equation (2) according to Snell's Law and \theta_{1}=57.0\º   \theta_{2}=38.1\º:

(1)sin(57.0\º)=n_{2}sin(38.1\º)  

Finding n_{2}:

n_{2}=\frac{sin(57.0\º)}{sin(38.1\º)}  

n_{2}=1.359   (3)>>>Index of Refraction for red light

<h2>1b) Violet light</h2>

Again, using equation (2) according to Snell's Law and \theta_{1}=57.0\º   \theta_{2}=36.7\º:

(1)sin(57.0\º)=n_{2}sin(36.7\º)  

Finding n_{2}:

n_{2}=\frac{sin(57.0\º)}{sin(36.7\º)}  

n_{2}=1.403   (4) >>>Index of Refraction for violet light

<h2><u>2) Speeds of red and violet light</u></h2><h2 /><h2>1a) Red light</h2>

Here we are going to use equation (1):

n_{red}=\frac{c}{v_{red}}

v_{red}=\frac{c}{n_{red}}

Substituting (3) in this equation:

v_{red}=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{1.359}

v_{red}=2.207(10)^{8}m/s >>>>Speed of red light

<h2>1a) Violet light</h2>

Using again equation (1):

n_{violet}=\frac{c}{v_{violet}}

v_{violet}=\frac{c}{n_{violet}}

Substituting (4) in this equation:

v_{violet}=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{1.403}

v_{red}=2.138(10)^{8}m/s >>>>Speed of violet light
