This can be solve using snell's law. snell's law equation is :

N1 / N2 = sin a2 / sin a1
where N1 is the index of  refraction of the air which is equal to 1
N2 is the index of refraction of the medium
a2 is the angle of refraction
a1 is the incident angle

subsitute the given values
1 / N2 = 0.173 / 0.217
N2 = 1 ( 0.217 / 0.173)
N2 = 1.25 is the index of refraction

As an object moves from point A to point B only two forces act onit: one force is nonconservative and does -30 J of work, the ot
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. On the one hand we have that the work done by the non-conservative force is equivalent to -30J while the work done by the conservative force is 50J.

This leads to the direct conclusion that the resulting energy is 20J.

The conservative force is linked to the movement caused by the sum of the two energies, therefore there is an increase in kinetic energy. The decrease in the mechanical energy of the system is directly due to the loss given by the non-conservative force, therefore there is a decrease in mechanical energy.

Therefore the correct answer is A. Kintetic energy increases and mechanical energy decreases.

What is the density (in kg/m3) of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.92% of her volume above the surface
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given;

fraction of the woman's volume above the surface = 4.92%

then, fraction of the woman's volume below the surface = 100 - 4.92% = 95.08%

the specific gravity of the woman = \frac{95.08}{100 } = 0.9508

The density of the woman is calculate as;

Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman = \frac{Density \ of \ the \ woman }{Density \ of \ fresh \ water }\\\\ Density \ of \ the \ woman  = Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman \ \times \ Density \ of \ fresh \ water

Density of fresh water = 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 0.9508 x 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 950.8 kg/m³

Therefore, the density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

A small electric motor produces a force of 5 N that moves a remote-control car 5 m every second. How much power does the motor p
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Force, f = 5 N

Velocity, v = 5 m/s

Power, p = energy/time

Energy = mass × acceleration × distance

Poer, p = force × velocity

= 5 × 5

= 25 W.

Note 1 watt = 0.00134 horsepower

But 25 watt,

0.00134 hp/1 watt × 25 watt

= 0.0335 hp.

Sound waves with a constant frequency of 250 hertz are traveling through air at stp. what is the wavelength of the sound waves
Deffense [45]

Answer:

wave length is 1.2m

Explanation:

since formula of wave length is v/f

v(speed of sound in air at stp is 300ms^-1)

f(frequency 250hertz)

then wave length is 300÷250 which give 1.2m

Why is a shadow formed
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Shadows are made by blocking light. Light rays travel from a source in straight lines. If an opaque (solid) object gets in the way, it stops light rays from traveling through it. The size and shape of a shadow depend on the position and size of the light source compared to the object.
