Answer:

$49.7^{\circ}$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

n1 = 1.33 is the index of refraction of the first medium (water)

n2 = 1.00 is the index of refraction of the second medium (air)

$\theta_1 = 35^{\circ}$ is the angle of incidence of the wave in water

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction of the wave in air

Solving for the angle of refraction,

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1 sin \theta_1}{n_2}=\frac{(1.33) sin 35^{\circ}}{1.00}=0.763\\\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (0.763)=49.7^{\circ}$

Answer:

$80 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

For the rocket in this problem,

u = 20,000 m/s

v = 24,000 m/s

t = 55.0 - 5.0 = 50.0 s

Substituting,

$a=\frac{24000-20000}{50}=80 m/s^2$

A car changes velocity at a constant acceleration of 2.5m/s to reach 43.7m/s in 2.7 s how fast was the car moving when it began

Montano1993 [528]

The formula we can use in this case is:

v = v0 + a t

where v is final velocity, v0 is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So finding for v0:

v0 = v – a t

v0 = 43.7 – (2.5) 2.7

v0 = 36.95 m/s

padilas [110]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Solar radiation at frequencies of visible light passes through the atmosphere, heating the planet's surface, subsequently this energy is emitted in infrared thermal radiation. This radiation is absorbed by the gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the greater the amount of these gases in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped in the earth, raising its global temperature.
