Answer:

The flashlight leaves the water at an angle of 51.77°.

Explanation:

if n1 = 1.33 is the refractive index of water and ∅1 is the angle at which the flashlight shine beneath the water, and n2 = 1.0 is the refractive index of air and ∅2 is the angle the flashlight leaves the water.

Then, according to Snell's law :

n1×sin(∅1) = n2×sin(∅2)

sin(∅2) = n1×sin(∅1)/n2

           = (1.33)×sin(36.2)/(1.0)

           = 0.7855055×379

     ∅2 = 51.77°

Therefore, the flashlight leaves the water at an angle of 51.77°.

Jason walks 20 m East, turns around and 20 m West, Finally, he walks 10 rn North. This takes 20 s. what is Jason's velocity​
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

0.5 m/s north

Explanation:

Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.

His displacement in the x direction is:

x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m

His displacement in the y direction is:

y = 10 m

His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.

His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.

v = 10 m north / 20 s

v = 0.5 m/s north

Explain the relationship between temperature, energy, and motion of particles in an object.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Energy is the ability to do work by a body. They are of two forms, potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is due to the position of a body whereas kinetic energy is due to the motion of a body.

Motion is the change in position of a body with time.

Temperature, energy and motion are all related.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is concerned about the motion particles. This form of energy results from heat changes in a body which causes temperature differences.

When a body is heat and changes temperature, the particles begins to vibrate as they gain, thermal energy, a form of kinetic energy. At a point, the particles will break lose and set in motion.

A superhero swings a magic hammer over her head in a horizontal plane. The end of the hammer moves around a circular path of rad
Korolek [52]

Answer:

9.21954 m/s

54 m/s²

Angle is zero

Explanation:

r = Radius of arm = 1.5 m

\omega = Angular velocity = 6 rad/s

The horizontal component of speed is given by

v_h=\omega r\\\Rightarrow v_h=6\times 1.5\\\Rightarrow v_h=9\ m/s

The vertical component of speed is given by

v_v=2\ m/s

The resultant of the two components will give us the velocity of hammer with respect to the ground

v=\sqrt{v_h^2+v_v^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{9^2+2^2}\\\Rightarrow v=9.21954\ m/s

The velocity of hammer relative to the ground is 9.21954 m/s

Acceleration in the vertical component is zero

Net acceleration is given by

a_n=a_h=\omega^2r\\\Rightarrow a_n=6^2\times 1.5\\\Rightarrow a_n=54\ m/s^2

Net acceleration is 54 m/s²

As the acceleration is towards the center the angle is zero.
