Explanation:

In brief, electrons are negative charges and protons are positive charges. An electron is considered the smallest quantity of negative charge and a proton the smallest quantity of positive charge.

Two negative charges repel. Also, two positive charges repel. A positive charge and a negative charge attract each other (all experimentally verified.)

Point Charge: An accumulation of electric charges at a point (a tiny volume in space) is called a point charge.

Note: When an atom loses an electron, the separated electron forms a negative charge, but the remaining that contains one less electron or consequently one more proton becomes a positive charge. A positive charge is not necessarily a single proton. In most cases, a positive charge is an atom that has lost one or more electron(s).

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Angle of incidence that entered material b= 63.1°

Angle of incidence between a and b = 55.9°

Explanation: Using the formular:

n1sintheta1= n2sintheta2

The light ray which enters material B will be

1.4Sin72.8° = 1.5Sin theta

1.3373= 1.5Sintheta

sintheta = 1.3373/1.5

Sin^-1 0.8916 = Theta

63.1 = theta

When the ray hits interface with material a

1.5Sin63.1 = 1.3 Sin theta

1.3374 = 1.3Sin theta

Sintheta= 1.3374/1.3

Sin theta = 1.0877

There will be total reflection off the boundary b c because sin theta exceeded 1 in value.

The equation should be

1.4sin63.1 = 1.4 sin theta

Sin theta=72.8°

When the ray hits air-c boundary:

1.4sin72.8=1.00sin theta

Sin theta=1.3374/1 =1.3374

There is total reflection.

In material a,the ray will:

1.3sin72.8° = 1.00sin theta

There will be total reflection when the ray hits a-b boundary.

1.3sin72.8= 1.5sintheta

Sin theta= 1.2419/ 1.5

Sin theta =0.8279

Theta= Sin^-10.8279= 55.88°

When ray hits c-air boundary

1.4sin63.1= 1.00sintheta

1.2485= sin theta = Toal reflection.

Therefore when the ray of light pass through the layers of material a, b and c the boundary with air on top and bottom will be total reflection.

Heights of men on a baseball team have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 166 cm 166 cm and a standard deviation of 5 cm

kaheart [24]

Answer:

95 %

99.7 %

Explanation:

$\mu$ = 166 cm = Mean

$\sigma$ = 5 cm = Standard deviation

a) 156 cm and 176 cm

$166-5\times 2=156$

$166+5\times 2=176$

From the empirical rule 95% of all values are within 2 standard deviation of the mean, so about 95% of men are between 156 cm and 176 cm.

b) 151 cm and 181 cm

$166-5\times 3 =151$

$166+5\times 3=181$

The empirical rule tells us that about 99.7% of all values are within 3 standard deviations of the mean, so about 99.7% of men are between 151 cm and 181 cm.

Projectile Motion: A hobbyist launches a projectile from ground level on a horizontal plain. It reaches a maximum height of 72.3

marin [14]

Answer:

The angle of launch from the horizontal direction is 20.99° .

Explanation:

Let u and θ be the initial speed and angle of projection from the horizontal axis of the object respectively.

The equations for projectile motion are :

H = ( u² sin²θ)/ 2g ......(1)

Here H is maximum height of the projectile motion and g is acceleration due to gravity.

R = ( u² sin2θ)/g .......(2)

Here R is the maximum horizontal displacement of the object.

Rearrange equation (1) in terms of u².

u² = (2gH)/sin²θ

Substitute this equation in equation (2).

R = (2gH sin2θ) / (sin²θ x g)

R = (2H sin2θ)/sin²θ

Using trigonometry property, sin2θ = 2 cosθ sinθ

So, above equation becomes,

R = (2H x 2 cosθ sinθ)/sin²θ

R = (4H cosθ)/sinθ

tanθ = R/4H

θ = tan⁻¹(R/4H)

Substitute 111 m for R and 72.3 m for H in the above equation.

θ = tan⁻¹( 111/ 4 x 72.3 )

θ = tan⁻¹(0.38)

θ = 20.99°
