Answer:

b) the refracted ray has an angle of 90 degrees

Explanation:

The angle of incidence is measured with respect to the normal separation of the media. The critical angle for total internal reflection occurs is:

$\theta=arcsin(\frac{n_2}{n_1})$

Here $n_2$ and $n_1$ are the refractive index of the mediums. This equation is an application of Snell's law, for the case where the refracted ray has an angle of $90^\circ$ .

A charge of 4.5 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 2.0 × 104 . If the charge is 0.030 m from the source

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The electrical potential energy is 0.027 Joules.

Explanation:

The values from the question are

charge (q) = $4.5 \times 10^{-5} C$

Electric Field strength (E) = $2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C$

Distance from source (d) = 0.030 m

Now the formula for the electrical potential energy (U) is given by

$U = q \times E \times d$

So now insert the values to find the answer

$U = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C \times 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C \times 0.030 m$

On further solving

$U = 0.027 J$

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 12.5 g. The balloon is filled with helium at a density of 0.181 kg/m3. At this density the

Eduardwww [97]

Answer: 1.14 N

Explanation :

As any body submerged in a fluid, it receives an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid removed by the body, which can be expressed as follows:

Fb = δair . Vb . g = 1.29 kg/m3 . 4/3 π (0.294)3 m3. 9.8 m/s2

Fb = 1.34 N

In the downward direction, we have 2 external forces acting upon the balloon: gravity and the tension in the line, which sum must be equal to the buoyant force, as the balloon is at rest.

We can get the gravity force as follows:

Fg = (mb +mhe) g

The mass of helium can be calculated as the product of the density of the helium times the volume of the balloon (assumed to be a perfect sphere), as follows:

MHe = δHe . 4/3 π (0.294)3 m3 = 0.019 kg

Fg = (0.012 kg + 0.019 kg) . 9.8 m/s2 = 0.2 N

Equating both sides of Newton´s 2nd Law in the vertical direction:

T + Fg = Fb

T = Fb – Fg = 1.34 N – 0.2 N = 1.14 N

PLEASE HELPPPPPPPP<br> What is the average velocity of a train that goes 86 km in 1.3 hours?

olga_2 [115]

The answer is:

V = d/t d = 86 km t = 1.3 hrs

V = 86 km/ 1.3 hrs

V = 66.15 km/ hrs

I hope this helps!!

A soccer player kicks a soccer ball initially at rest setting it in motion at a velocity of 30 m/s. If the ball has a mass of 0.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

F= 600 N

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocity ,u= 0 m/s

Final velocity ,v= 30 m/s

mass ,m = 0.5 kg

time ,t= 0.025 s

The change in the linear momentum is given as

ΔP= m (v - u)

ΔP= 0.5 ( 30 - 0 ) kg.m/s

ΔP= 15 kg.m/s

We know that from second law of Newtons

$F=\dfrac{dP}{dt}$

$F=\dfrac{\Delta P}{t}$

Now by putting the values

$F=\dfrac{15}{0.025}\ N$

F= 600 N
