Hi Davina :) Yes, partial reflection and refraction will occour because the incident ray will refract if it has not reached the critical angle. Once the ray reaches the critical angle of the first media they ray will start to totally internally refract, in summary. Yes it will unless the angle is past the critical angle

Derive an expression for the acceleration of the car. Express your answer in terms of D and vt Determine the time at which the s
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

V(car) = V(truck) at t = Dt/2

acceleration = v(car) = D/t^2

Explanation:

acceleration = v(car) = D/t^2

Since the average velocities must be the same, the car's final velocity must be twice the trunk velocity assuming the car start with zero velocity, since acceleration remain the same throughout the journey velocities at half-time point must be equal.

An object is suspended from the ceiling with two wires that make an angle of 40° with the ceiling. The weight of the body is 150
MaRussiya [10]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let T =  the tension in each wire.
For equilibrium,
2T cos(50°) = 150 N
1.2856T = 150
T = 116.677 N ≈ 117 N

Answer: 117 N

A bug is moving along a meter stick in the negative direction at a constant speed of 0.85cm/s. After 42 seconds have passed the
Agata [3.3K]

Given that,

bug speed, v= 0.85 m/s

time, t =42 s

Final position of bug on meter stick was 27 cm

Starting position of bug on meter stick = ?

Since we know that,

s = vt

s= 0.85*42 = 35.7 cm

this is the distance covered by bug in the given time and velocity.

since the bug is moving in negative direction, starting point will be:

27.0 cm+ 35.7 cm = 62.7 cm

The bugs starting position on meter stick was 62.7 cm.

If the SAME person does a cannonball from these different heights, which height will produce the biggest SPLASH? WHY?
sveta [45]

Answer:

the impact on the water varies from different heights, therefore the mass stays the same, yet the force on the water increases from a higher height. A taller height will produce a bigger splash!
