3 0

Answer:

n = 1.76

Explanation:

According to the rule of ( n1 sin theta1 = n2 sin theta2 )

we know both angles so we insert them to the law and apply n1 = 1

so 1/2 = n2 sin 62 and we get the final answer

An object is thrown with velocity v from the edge of a cliff above level ground. Neglect air resistance. In order for the object
musickatia [10]

Answer:

(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal

Explanation:

The range of a projectile is given by R = v²sin2θ/g.

For maximum range, sin2θ = 1 ⇒ 2θ = sin⁻¹(1) = 90°

2θ = 90°

θ = 90°/2 = 45°

So the maximum horizontal distance R is in the range 0 < θ < 45°, if θ is the angle above the horizontal.

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.175 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 5.25 m/s, but it comes to a
Neko [114]

Answer:

1.70 J

Explanation:

The heat dissipated is the difference in the kinetic energies.

This is given by

E = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

v_i and v_f are the initial and final velocities.

With <em>m</em> = 0.175 kg,

E = \frac{1}{2}\times0.175(2.85^2 - 5.25^2) = -1.701\text{ J}

The negative sign appears because energy is lost.

A bullet is fired straight up from a gun with a
melamori03 [73]

Answer: 815.51 m

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the initial velocity of the bullet has only y-component, since it was fired straight up. In addition, we are dealing with constant acceleration (due gravity), therefore the following equations will be useful to solve this problem:

V=V_{o}+gt (1)

V^{2}=V_{o}^{2}+2gy (2)

Where:

V is the final velocity of the bullet

V_{o}=152 m/s is the initial velocity of the bullet

g=-9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity, always directed downwards

t=6.9 s is the time

y is the vertical position of the bullet at t=6.9 s

Let's begin by finding V from (1):

V=152 m/s-9.8 m/s^{2}(6.9 s) (3)

V=84.38 m/s (4)

Now we have to substitute (4) in (2):

(84.38 m/s)^{2}=(152 m/s)^{2}-2(9.8 m/s^{2})y (5)

Isolating y:

y=815.511 m This is the displacement  of the bullet after 6.9 s

In a long straight wire, what current is required to exert a 1.0μN force on a 1.0μC charge moving at 1.5×106m/s parallel to the
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Current in the wire is given as

i = 1.17 \times 10^{-7} A

Explanation:

magnetic field due to long current carrying wire is given as

B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{2\pi r}

so we have magnetic force on moving charge is given as

F = qvB

so we have

F = (1\times 10^{-6})(1.5 \times 10^6)(\frac{\mu_0 i}{2\pi (0.35)})

so we have

1\times 10^{-6} = 1.5 \times \frac{2 i}{0.35}

i = 1.17 \times 10^{-7} A
