The California current is an ocean current that moves cold water from the north along the west coast of the United States. The main effect of this current is to make the climate of the west coast cooler.

<span>The movement of Alaskan and northern water currents southward down the west coast results in much cooler ocean temperatures than at comparable latitudes on the east coast of the United States, where waters currents come from the Caribbean and Tropical Atlantic.</span>

A very narrow beam of white light is incident at 40.80° onto the top surface of a rectangular block of flint glass 11.6 cm thick
DerKrebs [107]
Dispersion angle = 0.3875 degrees. 
Width at bottom of block = 0.09297 cm 
Thickness of rainbow = 0.07038 cm 
 Snell's law provides the formula that describes the refraction of light. It is:
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 where
 n1, n2 = indexes of refraction for the different mediums
 Î¸1, θ2 = angle of incident rays as measured from the normal to the surface. 
 Solving for θ2, we get
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 n1*sin(θ1)/n2 = sin(θ2)
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2 
 The index of refraction for air is 1.00029, So let's first calculate the angles of the red and violet rays.
 Red:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.641) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.641) = θ2
 asin(0.398299876) = θ2
 23.47193844 = θ2 
 Violet:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.667) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.667) = θ2
 asin(0.39208764) = θ2
 23.08446098 = θ2 
 So the dispersion angle is:
 23.47193844 - 23.08446098 = 0.38747746 degrees. 
 Now to determine the width of the beam at the bottom of the glass block, we need to calculate the difference in the length of the opposite side of two right triangles. Both triangles will have a height of 11.6 cm and one of them will have an angle of 23.47193844 degrees, while the other will have an angle of 23.08446098 degrees. The idea trig function to use will be tangent, where
 tan(θ) = X/11.6
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 So for Red:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.47193844) = X
 11.6*0.434230136 = X
 5.037069579 = X 
 And violet:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.08446098) = X
 11.6*0.426215635 = X
 4.944101361 = X 
 So the width as measured from the bottom of the block is: 5.037069579 cm - 4.944101361 cm = 0.092968218 cm 
 The actual width of the beam after it exits the flint glass block will be thinner. The beam will exit at an angle of 40.80 degrees and we need to calculate the length of the sides of a 40.80/49.20/90 right triangle. If you draw the beams, you'll realize that:
 cos(θ) = X/0.092968218
 0.092968218*cos(θ) = X 
 0.092968218*cos(40.80) = X
 0.092968218*0.756995056 = X
 0.070376481 = X 
 So the distance between the red and violet rays is 0.07038 cm.

This illustration shows two opposing forces pulling on a wagon. Which description best describes how the wagon will move?
Talja [164]

Answer:

The wagon will move to the right.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 10 N

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 30 N

Direction of the wagon =.?

To determine the direction in which the wagon will move, we shall determine the net force acting on the wagon. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 10 N

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 30 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fᵣ – Fₗ

Fₙ = 30 – 10

Fₙ = 20 N to the right

From the calculations made above, the net force acting on the wagon is 20 N to the right. Hence the wagon will move to the right.

You can only determine the speed since the only info we know is how much you ran in how long of a time.

What are the two ways to create plasma?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Plasma can be artificially generated by heating a neutral gas or subjecting it to a strong electromagnetic field to the point where an ionized gaseous substance becomes increasingly electrically conductive.
