Power = (voltage) x (current)

If the camcorder is USING 14 watts of electrical power right now, then . . .

14 watts = (2 volts) x (current)

Divide each side by (2 volts):

Current = (14 watts) / (2 volts)

Current = (14 V-A) / (2 V)

<em>Current = 7 Amperes</em>

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.50, at an angle of incidence of 45°. Calc

balandron [24]

Answer:

Approximately $28^{\circ}$ .

Explanation:

The refractive index of the air $n_{\text{air}}$ is approximately $1.00$ .

Let $n_\text{glass}$ denote the refractive index of the glass block, and let $\theta _{\text{glass}}$ denote the angle of refraction in the glass. Let $\theta_\text{air}$ denote the angle at which the light enters the glass block from the air.

By Snell's Law:

$n_{\text{glass}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) = n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})$ .

Rearrange the Snell's Law equation to obtain:

$\begin{aligned} \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) &= \frac{n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}{n_{\text{glass}}} \\ &= \frac{(1.00)\, (\sin(45^{\circ}))}{1.50} \\ &\approx 0.471\end{aligned}$ .

Hence:

$\begin{aligned} \theta_{\text{glass}} &= \arcsin (0.471) \approx 28^{\circ}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the angle of refraction in the glass would be approximately $28^{\circ}$ .

Which part of earths surface has the greatest rotational speed

Anni [7]

Every point on the surface must have the same rotational speed.
Otherwise some places would rotate away from other places.

If the next block of your city rotated faster than the block that you live on,
then you could sit at home, look out the window, and watch your school
rotate past your house.

The map of the continents on the Earth would change constantly.
