Yes, his velocity will decrease the further he slides.
Answer:
1.30
Explanation:
To calculate the critical angle we have ti use the formula:

where theta_c is the critical angle, n1 is the index of refraction of the material where the light is totally reflected, and n2 is the refractive index of the other material.
By taking n_2 and replacing we obtain:

hope this helps!!
The answer to the question is A
Answer:
a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m
Explanation:
Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm
Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m
Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m
Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J
b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J
c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.
d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036
mv^2 = 0.036*2
v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6
v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s
e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h
Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward
0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h
0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h
h = 0.18 m
