If the light strikes the plastic (from the water) at an angle θw, at what angle θa does it emerge from the plastic (into the air

)? Express your answer in terms of nw, np, na, and θw. Remember that the inverse sine of a number x should be entered as asin(x) in the answer box.

Answer:

\theta _a=asin(\frac{sin(\theta _w)\times n_w}{n_a})

Explanation:

According to Snell's law the angle of incidence and angle of refraction are related by:

\frac{sin(\theta _w)}{sin(\theta _a)}=\frac{n_a}{n_w}\\\\\therefore sin(\theta _a)=\frac{sin(\theta _w)\times n_w}{n_a}\\\\\theta _a=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(\theta _w)\times n_w}{n_a})\\\\\theta _a=asin(\frac{sin(\theta _w)\times n_w}{n_a})

Answer:

θa = asin(nwsin(θw)/na)

Explanation:

We are going to look at the two important angles within the plastic: the angle immediately after the first refraction (the water/plastic interface) and the angle immediately before the second refraction (the plastic/air interface). In order to ascertain their relationship, draw a picture with the path the light follows in the plastic and the normals to both surfaces. Once you have labeled both angles, keep in mind that the surfaces are parallel, and thus their normals are parallel lines. An important theorem from geometry will give you the relationship between the angles.

Using Snell's Law,

θa = asin(nwsin(θw)/na)

timama [110]

Answer:

The transfer of heat by the movement of fluid is called Convection Heat Transfer

Explanation:

Heat transfer by convection is the transfer of heat by fluid transport from one place to another, such that convection takes place when the heat that comes in contact of fluid containing body is moved to other parts of the container by the transporting fluid

Heat is transferred within a fluid medium mainly by convection (movement of heat by the transfer of fluid particles in the medium)

Convection heat transfer is a combination of conduction and advection heat transfer

A cross-country skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Magnitude = 14 metres

Direction = eastward.

Explanation:

A cross-country skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44meters westward, and finally 22 meters eastward.

Whats the Magnitude and Direction?

The magnitude and direction will be the displacement of the cross country skier.

Let the east ward be positive and the west ward be negative.

Since the skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44meters westward, and finally 22 meters eastward. Then, that will be:

36 - 44 + 22 = 14

Since the answer is positive, the magnitude is 14 and the direction is east ward.

Find the time t2 that it would take the charge of the capacitor to reach 99.99% of its maximum value given that r=12.0ω and c=50
defon

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

R = 12 ohms

C = 500μf.

Time t =? When the charge reaches 99.99% of maximum

The charge on a RC circuit is given as

A discharging circuit

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

Where RC is the time constant

τ = RC = 12 × 500 ×10^-6

τ = 0.006 sec

The maximum charge is Qo,

Therefore Q = 99.99% of Qo

Then, Q = 99.99/100 × Qo

Q = 0.9999Qo

So, substituting this into the equation above

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

0.9999Qo = Qo•exp(-t / 0.006)

Divide both side by Qo

0.9999 = exp(-t / 0.006)

Take In of both sodes

In(0.9999) = In(exp(-t / 0.006))

-1 × 10^-4 = -t / 0.006

t = -1 × 10^-4 × - 0.006

t = 6 × 10^-7 second

So it will take 6 × 10^-7 a for charge to reached 99.99% of it's maximum charge

Answer:

Si un objeto se mueve en relación a un marco de referencia (por ejemplo, si una profesora se mueve a la derecha con respecto al pizarrón, o un pasajero se mueve hacia la parte trasera de un avión), entonces la posición del objeto cambia. A este cambio en la posición se le conoce como desplazamiento. La palabra desplazamiento implica que un objeto se movió, o se desplazó.

Explanation:

El desplazamiento se define como el cambio en la posición de un objeto. Se puede definir de manera matemática con la siguiente ecuación:

\text{desplazamiento}=\Delta x=x_f-x_0desplazamiento=Δx=x  

f

​  

−x  

0

​  

start text, d, e, s, p, l, a, z, a, m, i, e, n, t, o, end text, equals, delta, x, equals, x, start subscript, f, end subscript, minus, x, start subscript, 0, end subscript

x_fx  

f

​  

x, start subscript, f, end subscript se refiere al valor de la posición final.

x_0x  

0

​  

x, start subscript, 0, end subscript se refiere al valor de la posición inicial.

\Delta xΔxdelta, x es el símbolo que se usa para representar el desplazamiento.

Debemos ser cuidados al usar la palabra distancia, ya que hay dos maneras de usar el término en física. Podemos hablar acerca de la distancia entre dos puntos, o podemos hablar de la distancia recorrida por un objeto.

La distancia se define como la magnitud o el tamaño del desplazamiento entre dos posiciones. Observa que la distancia entre dos posiciones no es la misma que la distancia recorrida entre ellas.

Es importante darse cuenta que la distancia recorrida no tiene que ser igual a la magnitud del desplazamiento (es decir, la distancia entre dos puntos). De manera específica, si un objeto cambia de dirección en su trayecto, la distancia total recorrida será mayor que la magnitud del desplazamiento entre esos dos puntos. Ve los ejemplos resueltos a continuación.
