A 6.4-N force pulls horizontally on a 1.5-kg block that slides on a smooth horizontal surface. This block is connected by a hori

zontal string to a second block of mass m2=0.93 kg on the same surface, what is the acceleration of the blocks? What is the tension of the string?

-- Although it's not explicitly stated in the question,we have to assume that
the surface is frictionless.  I guess that's what "smooth" means.

-- The total mass of both blocks is (1.5 + 0.93) = 2.43 kg. Since they're
connected to each other (by the string), 2.43 kg is the mass you're pulling.

-- Your force is 6.4 N.
                                    Acceleration = (force)/(mass) = 6.4/2.43 m/s²<em>
                                                                 </em>
That's about  <em>2.634 m/s²</em>  <em>

</em>
(I'm going to keep the fraction form handy, because the acceleration has to be
used for the next part of the question, so we'll need it as accurate as possible.)

-- Both blocks accelerate at the same rate. So the force on the rear block (m₂) is

       Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.93) x (6.4/2.43) = <em>2.45 N</em>.

That's the force that's accelerating the little block, so that must be the tension
in the string.

The sun is 60° above the horizon. Rays from the sun strike the still surface of a pond and cast a shadow of a stick that is stuc
Kipish [7]

Answer:

shadow length 7.67 cm

Explanation:

given data:

refractive index of water is 1.33

by snell's law we have

n_{air} sin30 =n_{water} sin\theta

1*0.5 = 1.33*sin\theta

solving for\theta

sin\theta = \frac{3}{8}

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{3}{8}

\theta =  22 degree

from shadow- stick traingle

tan(90-\theta) = cot\theta = \frac{h}{s}

s = \frac{h}{cot\theta} = h tan\theta

s = 19tan22 = 7.67 cm

s = shadow length
