Answer:The sun, earth, and moon are held together by gravity, and they interact in lots of ways.

The tides are another interaction in the sun-earth-moon system. The tides happen because the moon and sun pull on the oceans, causing them to rise and fall each day. The moon has a bigger effect than the sun because it is closer.

The best rebounders in basketball have a vertical leap (that is, the vertical movement of a fixed point on their body) of about

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a) 4.45 m/s

b) 0.9 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -9.81\times 1}\\\Rightarrow u=4.45\ m/s$

a) The vertical speed when the player leaves the ground is 4.45 m/s

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-4.45}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.45\ s$

Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.45 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 1=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{1\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.45\ s$

Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.45 seconds

b) Time the player stayed in the air is 0.45+0.45 = 0.9 seconds

Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.

Georgia [21]

The refractive index for glycerine is $n_g=1.473$ , while for air it is $n_a = 1.00$ .

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}$
