Answer:

V = 2.05× 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

The angle of the incidence; i = 40°

Angle of refraction; (r) = 26°

For us to find the speed of light in the material, we'll use Snell's law

From shell's law, we know that;

n = sin i/sin r = speed of light in air/Speed of light in the medium

Now, speed of light in air = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Lets speed of light in medium be V

Thus, plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Sin 40°/sin 26° = 3×10⁸/V

Let's make V the subject;

V = 3 × 10⁸× sin 26°/sin 40°

V = 2.05× 10⁸ m/s

What describes Newton’s law of universal gravitation
VikaD [51]

Newton's law of universal gravitation gives the gravitational force between two objects:

F = GMm/r²

F = gravitational force, G = gravitational constant, M & m are the masses of the two objects, r = distance between the objects

A water skier lets go of the tow rope upon leaving the end ofa
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

1.35m

Explanation:

At the highest point of the jump, the vertical speed of the skier should be 0. So the 13m/s speed is horizontal, this speed stays the same from the jumping point to the highest point. The 14m/s speed at jumping point is the combination of both vertical and horizontal speeds.

The vertical speed at the jumping point can be computed:

v_v^2 + v_h^2 = v^2

v_v^2 + 13^2 = 14^2

v_v^2 = 196 - 169 = 27

v_v = \sqrt{27} = 5.2 m/s

When the skier jumps to the its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy:

E_p = E_k

mgh = mv_v^2/2

where m is the skier mass and h is the vertical distance traveled, v_v is the vertical velocity at jumping point, and h is the highest point.

Let g = 10m/s2

We can divide both sides of the equation by m:

gh = v_v^2/2

h = \frac{v_v^2}{2g} = \frac{27}{2*10} = 1.35 m

A uniform bar has two small balls glued to its ends. The bar is 2.00 m long and has mass 4.00 kg, while the balls each have mass
Talja [164]

Answer:

a)1.93 kg-m^2

b) 1.45  kg-m^2

c) = 0

d) 1.15 kg-m^2

Explanation:

mass of the bar M = 4 kg

length of the bar = 2 m

mass of balls m1= m2= 0.3 kg

moment of inertia of bar I= \frac{ML^2}{12}

about an axis perpendicular to the bar through its center.

a) MOI of bar + 2×m×(L/2)^2

I= \frac{ML^2}{12}+ 2m\frac{L}{2}^2

now putting the values of m, M and L as above and solving we get

I= 1.93 kg-m^2

b) perpendicular to the bar through one of the balls

I=M\frac{L^2}{3} +mL^2

I=4\frac{2^2}{3} +0.3\times4^2= 1.45  kg-m^2

c) parallel to the bar through both balls

zero as the no mass distribution along the parallel to the bar through both balls.

d) parallel to the bar and 0.500 m from it.

I=(M+2m_1)\frac{1}{2}^2

putting values and solving we get

1.15 kg-m^2
