To calculate the horizontal velocity component, use the cosine identity. where cos A = a / h
where A is the angle the golfer hits the ball
a is the horizontal component velocity
h is the speed the golfer hits the ball
so a = h cos A
a = 31 cos 35
a = 25.4 m/s
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Think about rubbing your hands together- the friciton produces heat
Answer:
83.6°
Explanation:
For the ray to be totally internally reflected, at the boundary, the angle of refraction is 90. Using the law of refraction where
n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂ where n₁ = refractive index of prism = 1.5, θ₁ = critical angle in prism, n₂ = refractive index of air = 1 and θ₂ = refractive angle = 90°.
So, substituting these values into the equation,
n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂
1.5 × sinθ₁ = 1 × sin90
1.5 × sinθ₁ = 1
sinθ₁ = 1/1.5
sinθ₁ = 0.6667
θ₁ = sin*(0.6667)
θ₁ = 41.8°
So, for total internal reflection, an incidence angle of 41.8° is required. So, a full convergence angle of 2 × 41.8° = 83.6° is required for the whole bundle of rays.
