Answer:

a = 2.75 m/s^2

Explanation:

Using the equation for the acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity)/ time

= 54 - 32 / 8

= 22 / 8

= 2.75 m/s^2

Use the equation for the acceleration
A = final velocity - initial velocity divided by time final - time initial
A= 54 - 32 / 8 - 0
A= 22 / 8
A= 2.75 m/s^2
Hope this helps!

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer

The true fact is that C is what happens in outer space. Both rotations take 27.3 days.

A: The exact opposite is true. It does rotate about it's axis.

B: Again this is just plain false. Given the way we observe it, the moon must be rotating around the earth.

D. they don't. 27.3 hours and 24 hours are not the same.

Answer:

They are 7.4m apart.

Explanation:

Here we have a parabolic motion problem. we need the time taken to land so:

$Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$

considerating only the movement on Y axis:

$0=4.6-(9.81)*t^2\\t=0.68s$

Because we have a contant velocity motion on X axis:

$xs=vs*t\\xs=17m/s*(0.68s)\\xs=11.6m$

and

$xg=vg*t\\xg=28m/s*(0.68s)\\xg=19m$

the distance between them is given by:

$d=|xg-xs|\\d=7.4m$

water has an index of refraction of 1.33. What is the critical angle for light leaving a pool of water into air? 0 37 90 49

vesna_86 [32]

When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index into a medium with lower refractive index, there is a maximum angle (called critical angle) for which all the light is reflected, so there is no refraction.

The value of the critical angle is given by:
$\theta = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
when n1 is the refractive index of the first medium, while n2 is the refractive index of the second medium. In our case, n1=1.33 (the water) and n1=1.00 (the air). Putting numbers in, we get
$\theta = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.33} )=49^{\circ}$
