Answer:

The index of refraction of the glass is 1.3

Explanation:

Given data:

i = incident angle = 50°

r = refracted angle = 36.1°

The index of refraction according Snell´s law is:

n=\frac{1*sini}{sinr} =\frac{1*sin50}{sin36.1} =1.3

when a substance such as ice melts, its temperature increases. desrcibe what happens to the arrangment of water molecules as the
trasher [3.6K]

Explanation:

The water molecules begins to leave their fixed position and begins to move as the temperature increases.

When ice melts, it undergoes a state change from solid to liquid and with increasing temperature becomes a gas.

  • The basis for this is the increasing movement of the molecules of the water as it transitions from one phase to another.
  • In the ice, the molecules are locked and fixed in the lattice
  • As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles rises.
  • This makes the structure of the ice to collapse and forms liquids.
  • By the virtue of this, they flow and move over one another
  • With increasing temperature, the bonds are broken and vapor forms

Why is simple harmonic motion a fundamental for understanding physics
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The simple harmonic motion not only describes circular movements, also describes waves motion. This makes it fundamental for physics, make us understand waves like sound or light which explains an enormus part of our environment

A thin plate 6 ft long and 3 ft wide is submerged and held stationary in a stream of water (T = 60°F) that has a velocity of 17
VashaNatasha [74]

A) In the case of the Boundary Thickness Layer we use the given formula,

\delta = \frac{4.91x}{\sqrt{Re}}

We know as well that,

Re = Número de Reynolds = \frac{U*x}{\upsilon}

Where,

U = velocity

\upsilon = kinematic viscosity

For water, kinematic viscosity, \upsilon = 1.21*10^{-5} ft^2 /s

So, 500,000 = \frac{ 17x}{(1.21*10^{-5})}

x = 0.355 ft

d = \frac{4.91*0.355}{\sqrt {500000}}

d = 0.002465 ft = 0.029in

B) For flat plate boundary layer. Given the Critical Reynolds Number.= 5*10^5 we know that is equal to Re above.

Thus, x = 0.355 ft

C. Wall shear stress,

\tau = \mu*\sqrt{ U^3 / (2*\nu*x) }

For water, dynamic viscosity, \nu = 2.344*10^-5 lbf-s/ft^2

\tau = 2.344*10^-5 \sqrt {17^3 / (2*1.21*10^{-5}*0.355)}

\tau = 0.5605 lbf/ft^2

Use your understanding of heat loss to ESTIMATE the cost of the lost energy through one standard window during an average summer
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The cost of energy is $ 0.34.

Explanation:

The energy is the capacity to do work.

The energy is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is Joule.

The commercial unit of energy is kWh.

Cost of 1 kWh energy = $ 0.17

energy loss by standard window is 2 kWh .

So, the cost of lost of energy is

Cost = $ 0.17 x 2 = $ 0.34
