In order to determine the angle of the refracted ray, we may apply Snell's law, which states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is constant for a given wave when it passes through two different media. Mathematically, this is:
n₁sin(∅₁) = n₂sin(∅₂)
Where n is the refractive index. Substituting the values given into the equation:
1.0003 * sin(20°) = 1.33 * sin(∅)
∅ = 14.91

The angle of the refracted ray is 15°.

zzz [600]

Answer:

Continental drift theory describes the long term effect of plate tectonics.

Explanation:

The long term result of plate tectonic movement is the continental drift. The continents of Earth lay on tectonic plates, that are in motion and interaction via plate tectonics. The drift of the Earths continent is an ongoing process evident in the rift valleys and seafloor spreading zones.

The theory that  the Earth's continents are dynamic and have drifted relative to each other is known as continental drift which correlates with the theory of plate tectonics.

Every year, the Earth's outer shell plates are displaced by a small amount due to the heat coming from the Earths interior via convection currents.

John accidentally drops his keys off the balcony at his apartment. John's friend Tony just happens to walk by at that moment and
EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

In order to find out if the keys will reach John or not, we can use the formula of projectile motion to find the maximum height reached by the keys:

H = V²Sin²θ/2g

where,

V = Launch Speed = 18 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 40°

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

H = (18 m/s)²[Sin 40°]²/(2)(9.8 m/s²)

H = 6.83 m

Hence, the maximum height that can be reached by the projectile or the keys is greater than the height of John's Balcony(5.33 m).

Therefore, the keys will make it back to John.
