Speed is a constant direction of where you go, constant motion, and velocity is the displacement of a objects direction, plus the direction the object is traveling to.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

n = 1.4266

Explanation:

Given that:

refractive index of crystalline slab n = 1.665

let refractive index of fluid is n.

angle of incidence θ₁ = 37.0°

Critical angle $\theta _c = sin^{-1} (\frac{n}{n_{slab}} )$

$sin \theta _ c =\frac{n}{n_{slab}}$

According to Snell's law of refraction:

$n sin \theta _1 = n_{slab} \ sin \ (90- \theta_c)$

At point P ; $90 - \theta _2 \leq \theta _c$

$\theta _2 = 90 - \theta _c$

Therefore:

$n \ sin \theta_1 = n_{slab} \sqrt{(1-sin^2 \theta _c)} \\ \\ n \ sin \theta_1 = n_{slab} \sqrt{(1- \frac{n}{n_{slab}} )}$

Then maximum value of refractive index n of the fluid is:

$n = \frac{n_{slab}}{\sqrt{1+ sin^2 \theta _1 } }$

$n = \frac{1.665}{\sqrt{1+ sin^2 \ 37} }$

n = 1.4266

A car is traveling with a constant speed when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, giving the 14) car a deceleration of 3.50

sergij07 [2.7K]

To be able to determine the original speed of the car, we use kinematic equations to relate the acceleration, distance and the original speed of the car moving.

First, we manipulate the one of the kinematic equations

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 (a) (x) where v = 0 since the car stopped

Writing the equation in such a way that the initial velocity or v0 is written on one side of the equation,

<span>we get v0 = sqrt (2(a)(x))

Substituting the known values,

v0 = sqrt(2(3.50)(30.0))
v0 = 14.49 m/s
</span>
Therefore, before stopping the car the original speed of the car would be 14.49 m/s

A squirrel, a train, a bird, and a car are all traveling at the same velocity. Which object has the greatest amount of kinetic e

Tanzania [10]

The greatest amount of kinetic energy is found with the train because it takes most energy to reach that velocity and also to slow down to a halt.

A packing crate slides down an inclined ramp at constant velocity. Thus we can deduce thatA) a frictional force is acting on itb

torisob [31]

Answer:

A) a frictional force is acting on it

Explanation:

The crate is sliding down the inclined ramp at constant velocity: constant velocity means zero acceleration, a = 0. According to Newton's second law:

F = ma

this also means that the net force acting along the direction of the slope is zero.

Without frictional force, there would be only one force acting along this direction: the component of the weight of the crane parallel to the slope, acting downward:

$W_p = mg sin \theta$

where $\theta$ is the angle of the incline. Therefore, the net force along this direction would not be zero. In order to have a net force of zero, there must be another force acting upward on the crate: and the only force that is possibly acting on the crate against its direction of motion is the frictional force, whose magnitude must be equal to $W_p$ , in order to produce a net force of zero (and therefore, a zero acceleration).
