The question is poor. Light doesn't refract on its way THROUGH anything. It refracts at the boundary BETWEEN two different media. The effect is greatest where the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media is greatest. On your list, that would be at the boundary between air or space and glass.
I believe it is called an ampere.
Answer:
a) 1.73*10^5 J
b) 3645 N
Explanation:
106 km/h = 106 * 1000/3600 = 29.4 m/s
If KE = PE, then
mgh = 1/2mv²
gh = 1/2v²
h = v²/2g
h = 29.4² / 2 * 9.81
h = 864.36 / 19.62
h = 44.06 m
Loss of energy = mgΔh
E = 780 * 9.81 * (44.06 - 21.5)
E = 7651.8 * 22.56
E = 172624.6 J
Thus, the amount if energy lost is 1.73*10^5 J
Work done = Force * distance
Force = work done / distance
Force = 172624.6 / (21.5/sin27°)
Force = 172624.6 / 47.36
Force = 3645 N
In a block and tackle, some friction in the pulleys will reduce the mechanical advantage of the machine. To include friction in a calculation of the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle, divide the weight of the object being lifted by the weight necessary to lift it.
Hope this helps
