Answer:

$a=2.8\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of an object, u = 22 m/s

Final velocity of an object, v = 36 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

It can be assumed to find the average acceleration of the object instead of average velocity.

The change in velocity per unit time is equal to average acceleration of an object. It can be given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{36\ m/s-22\ m/s}{5}\\\\\a=\dfrac{14}{5}\ m/s^2\\\\a=2.8\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the object is $2.8\ m/s^2$ .

Answer:

The volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes' principle,

Upthrust = lost in weight = weight of water displaced.

U = W₁ - W₂..................... Equation 1

Where U = upthrust, W₁ = weight in air, W₂ = weight when completely submerged in water.

Given: W₁ = 15 N, W₂ = 13 N

Substituting these values into equation 1

U = 15 - 13

U = 2 N

But,

Weight of water displaced = mass of water displaced. × acceleration due to gravity.

Mass of water displaced = weight of water displaced/ acceleration due to gravity.................... Equation 2

Where: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², weight of water displaced = 2 N

Substituting these values into equation 2

Mass of water displaced = 2/9.8

Mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg.

Also,

Volume of water displaced = mass of water displaced/ Density of water.............. Equation 3

Where Density of water = 1.0 kg/m³, mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg

Substituting these values into equation 3 above,

Volume of water displaced = 0.204/1

volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Therefore the volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Answer:

The x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.

Explanation:

To obtain the x component of the resultant force, first we have to know the x components of the other forces. To do this, we just have to do some trigonometry:

$|F_{1x}|=|F_1|\cos\theta_1=9.20N\cos62.0\°=4.31N \\|F_{2x}|=|F_2|\cos\theta_2=5.00N\cos53.6\°=2.96N$

Since both vectors are in the left side of the y-axis, they have a negative x component. So:

$F_{1x}=-4.31N;\\F_{2x}=-2.96N$

Finally, we sum both components to obtain the component of the resultant force:

$F_{Rx}=-4.31N-2.96N=-7.27N$

In words, the x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.

A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac

vovikov84 [41]

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

$n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Where,

${\theta_i}$ is the angle of incidence

${\theta_r}$ is the angle of refraction = 90°

${n_2}$ is the refractive index of the refraction medium

${n_1}$ is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

$n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}$

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

${sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}$

Where,

${\theta_{critical}}$ is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.
