Answer:

0.139 rad

Explanation:

We use Snell's law n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2, where if n_1 is the <em>refractive index</em> of the medium containing the <em>incident ray</em>, \theta_1 would be the <em>incident angle</em>, and if n_2 is the <em>refractive index</em> of the medium containing the <em>refracted ray</em>, \theta_2 would be the <em>refraction angle</em>, which we want, so we do:

sin\theta_2=\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1

And finally:

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

We then insert our values:

\theta_2=arcsin(\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1)=Arcsin(\frac{1}{3.325}sin(0.478rad))=arcsin(0.13834714686&#10;)=0.139 rad

Calculate the work done by a 47N force pushing a pencil against a force of 23 N
stira [4]
I believe the answer would be 24N
Explanation: Because the forces are going against each other, in order to calculate the work done we need to subtract them. 47-23=24

An object moves with constant acceleration 3.10 m/s2 and over a time interval reaches a final velocity of 12.4 m/s. If its initi
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.10 m/s^2

vf = 12.4 m/s

vi = -6.2 m/s

t = (vf - vi)/a

= (12.4 + 6.2)/3.1

= 6 s

displacement = (vf - vi)*t

= (12.4 + 6.2) * 6

= 111.6 m.

Help me please .....
Ahat [919]

Answer: 80N  (choice #4)

Explanation: The force of gravity is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance. That means, if the distance is cut in half, the square of that is 1/4, and the inverse of that is a factor 4. So the force increases by a factor of 4. Given that the force is 20N, the new force will be 4*20N=80N.
