The moon revolves around earth at a fairly constant speed.Is the moon accelerating

1 answer:

7 0

<span>If the moon changes direction, it's because it is orbiting around the earth, and the moon keeps a constant speed. And when the moon turns, it accelerates due to velocity. So yes, the moon accelerates. </span>

the speed of light in a certain medium is 0.6c. find critical angle , if the index of refraction is 1.67

baherus [9]

Answer:

$\theta_c = 36.78^o$

Explanation:

The relationship between the refractive index and the critical angle is given as follows:

$\eta = \frac{1}{Sin\ \theta_c} \\\\Sin\ \theta_c = \frac{1}{\eta}\\\\\theta_c = Sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{\eta} )$

where,

η = refractive index = 1.67

θc = critical angle =?

Therefore,

$\theta_c = Sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{1.67} )$

$\theta_c = 36.78^o$

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km. What is his displacement from the

Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

$D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km$

For direction,

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.
