Answer:

d) a = 4.1 m/s²

Explanation:

m = 92 Kg

∅ = 40º

μ = 0.293

a = ?

We can obtain the forces in the direction x' (of motion)

Wx' = W*Sin ∅ = m*g*Sin ∅

Ffriction = μ*N = μ*m*g*Cos ∅

then we use Newton's 2nd Law as follows:

Wx' - Ffriction = m*a

m*g*Sin ∅ - μ*m*g*Cos ∅ = m*a

⇒   a = g*(Sin ∅ - μ*Cos ∅)

⇒   a = (9.81 m/s²)*(Sin 40º - 0.293*Cos 40º)

⇒   a = 4.1038 m/s²

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of
andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where :

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

n_1=1.00 (index of refraction of air)

n_2=1.50 approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1

And since n_2>n_1, we have

\frac{n_1}{n_2}

And so

\theta_2

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
