Which theory proposes that the moon was a passing asteroid pulled into orbit by earth's gravity?

Hi,

The Capture Theory pro<span>poses that the moon was a passing asteroid pulled into orbit by earth's gravity.

The Capture Theory is not a valid theory, per se. The Impact Theory is the theory most recognized. The theory states </span><span>that the moon formed from dust produced by a collision between Earth and another large body.

A plastic light pipe has an index of refraction of 1.48. For total internal reflection, what is the minimum angle of incidence i

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

a) 42.52°

b) 63.98°

Explanation:

Refractive index of pipe = 1.48 = n₂

Refractive index of air = 1.0003 = n₁

$\theta_r=sin^{-1}\frac{n_1}{n_2}\\\Rightarrow \theta_r=sin^{-1}\frac{1.0003}{1.48}\\\Rightarrow \theta_r=sin^{-1}0.676\\\Rightarrow \theta_r=42.52^{\circ}$

∴ Minimum angle of incidence is 42.52°

Refractive index of water = 1.33 = n₁

$\theta_r=sin^{-1}\frac{n_1}{n_2}\\\Rightarrow \theta_r=sin^{-1}\frac{1.33}{1.48}\\\Rightarrow \theta_r=sin^{-1}0.899\\\Rightarrow \theta_r=63.98^{\circ}$

∴ Minimum angle of incidence is 63.98°

A 42 N net force is applied to a box which slides horizontally across a floor for 9.0

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The Amount of work is done on the box by the net force is 378 Joules.

Explanation:

Given:

A 42 N net force is applied to a box which slides horizontally across a floor.

Force = 42 N

Force applied for a displacement of 9.0 m

Displacement = 9.0 m

To Find:

Amount of work is done on the box by the net force = ?

i.e Work = ?

Solution:

When a force causes a object to move, work is being done on the object by the force. Work is the measure of energy transfer when a force (F) moves an object through a distance (d).

Formula is given by

$Work=Force\times Displacement$

Substituting the given values we get

∴ Work = 42 × 9.0

∴ Work = 378 N-m

∴ Work = 378 Joules

The Amount of work is done on the box by the net force is 378 Joules.
