Answer:

The actual elevation angle is 12.87 degrees

Explanation:

In the attachment you can clearly see the situation. The angle of elevation as seen for the scuba diver is shown in magenta, we conclude that \theta_2=90-43=47.

Using Snell's Law we can write:

n_1\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)

\implies \sin(\theta_1)=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\sin(\theta_2),

Let's approximate the index of refraction of the air (medium 1 in the picture) to 1.

We thus have:

\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)=1.333\sin(47)

\implies\theta_1=\arcsin[n_2\sin(\theta_2)]=\arcsin[1.333\sin(47)]\approx 77.13. Calling \alpha the actual angle of elevation, we get from the picture that \alpha=90-77.13=12.97

Are worm holes a real phenomenon?
Katena32 [7]
It depends, because worm holes are theoretical construed of space and time. It hasn’t been proven to exist but mathematically it hasn’t been spotted but we also haven’t been very far in our universe.

So to cut the story short, it is not a proven phenomenon only theoretical.

A 7.94-nC charge is located 1.77 m from a 4.14-nC point charge. (a) Find the magnitude of the electrostatic force that one charg
STatiana [176]

Answer:

F=94.32*10⁻⁹N  , The force F is repusilve because both charges have the same sign (+)

Explanation:

Two point charges (q₁, q₂) separated by a distance (d) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:  

F=K*q₁*q₂/d² Formula (1)  

F: Electric force in Newtons (N)

K : Coulomb constant in N*m²/C²

q₁,q₂:Charges in Coulombs (C)  

d: distance between the charges in meters(m)

Equivalence  

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

Data

K=8.99x10⁹N*m²/C²

q₁ = 7.94-nC= 7.94*10⁻⁹C

q₂= 4.14-nC=  4.14 *10⁻⁹C

d= 1.77 m

Magnitude of the electrostatic force that one charge exerts on the other

We apply formula (1):

F=8.99x10^{9} *\frac{7.94*10^{-9} *4.14 *10^{-9} }{1.77^{2} }

F=94.32*10⁻⁹N  , The force F is repusilve because both charges have the same sign (+)
