Answer:

the index of refraction for the transparent material is 1.48

Explanation:

let n1 = 1.0 be the refractive index of air and n2 be the refractive index of the trasnparent material.

then:

Snell's Law state that:

n1×sin(∅1) = n2×sin(∅2)

where ∅1 = 56.0° is the angle of incidence and  ∅2 = 90 - 56.0 = 34° be the angle refraction.

n1×sin(∅1) = n2×sin(∅2)

          n2 = n1×sin(∅1)/sin(∅2)

               =  (1.0)×sin(56.0°)/sin(34.0°)

               =  1.48

Therefore, the index of refraction for the transparent material is 1.48

A car travelling 95 km/h is 210 behind a truck travelling 75 km/h. how long will it take the care to reach the truck
masya89 [10]
<span>37.8 seconds First, determine the speed difference between the car and truck. 95 km/h - 75 km/h = 20 km/h Convert that speed into m/s to make a more convenient unit of measure. 20 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 5.556 m/s Now it's simply a matter of dividing the distance between the two vehicles and their relative speed. 210 m / 5.556 m/s = 37.8 s So it will take 37.8 seconds for the car to catch the truck that's 210 meters in front of the car.</span>

Short-wavelength radiation from the Sun passes through a planet's atmosphere but some of the outgoing long-wavelength energy is
serious [3.7K]

Answer:Greenhouse effect

Explanation:

Short wavelength radiation from the sun passes through a  planet's atmosphere but some of the outgoing long-wavelength energy is absorbed and radiated again this process is known as Green house effect which increases the temperature of earth and as a result causes more to be trapped inside earth atmosphere.

"A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 150 ft and 170 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the anten
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The anchor points are 78.37 ft and 111.99 ft

Explanation:

If you look at the attached (Fig 1) you will find that the union of antenna and its guy wires forms two right triangles. To solve problems that involve this kind of triangles, you can apply trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, etc) and Pythagoras Theorem. Trigonometric functions states the relation between angles, sides and hypotenuse of a right triangle. If you look Fig2, considering α angle, "b" is the opposite side, "a" the adjacent side and "c" the hypotenuse. Then

a) Sine (α) = b/c it means opposite side/hypotenuse

b) Cosine (α)= a/c, it means adjacent side/hypotenuse

c) Tangent (α) = b/a opposite side/adjacent side.

Pythagoras theorem states that if you called "a" and "b", the sides of the right triangle, and "c" the hypotenuse, then:

                                      a² + b² = c²    

As the problem states the lengths 150 ft and 170 ft represents the value of the hypotenuse of each triangle and 65° is one of the angles of the triangle with 150 ft hypotenuse. So you can solve this using sin (65°) to find the height of the antenna (h) and then the two distances (x and y,).

Sine (65°) = h/ 150 ft ⇒ Sine (65°) x 150ft = h ⇒ h = 127.9 ft.

To find x : Cosine (65°) = x/ 150 ft ⇒ Cosine (65°) x 150 ft = x

⇒ x = 78.37 ft.

And finally, to find y we can apply Pythagoras theorem

(170 ft)² = (127.9 ft)² + y² ⇒ y² = (170 ft)² - (127.9 ft)² ⇒ y = 111.99 ft

Summarizing, the anchor points are 78.37 ft and 111.99 ft

With respect to the earth, object 1 is moving at speed 0.80 c to the right. Object 2 is moving in the same direction at speed 0.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

0.976 c

Explanation:

v_{1e} = velocity of object 1 relative to earth = 0.80 c

v_{21} = velocity of object 2 relative to object 1 = 0.80 c

v_{2e} = velocity of object 2 relative to earth

Velocity of object 2 relative to earth is given as

v_{2e}= \frac{v_{1e} + v_{21}}{1 + \frac{v_{1e}v_{21}}{c^{2}}}

v_{2e}= \frac{0.80 c + 0.80 c}{1 + \frac{(0.80c)(0.80c)}{c^{2}}}

v_{2e} = 0.976 c
