Answer:

The acceleration of the box is 3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 12 kg

horizontal force pulling the box forward, Fx = 48 N

frictional force acting against the box in opposite direction, Fk = 12 N

The net horizontal force on the box, F = 48 N - 12 N

The net horizontal force on the box, F = 36 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the acceleration of the box;

F = ma

where;

F is the net horizontal force on the box

a is the acceleration of the box

a = F / m

a = 36 / 12

a = 3 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the box is 3 m/s²

Electric Charge

Charged material experiences a force when it is exposed to an electromagnetic field due to the physical property of electric charge. You can have a positive or negative electric charge (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). Unlike charges attract one another while like charges repel one another. Neutral refers to an object that carries no net charge. Classical electrodynamics, the name given to an early understanding of how charged particles interact, is still accurate for issues that do not call for taking into account quantum phenomena.

The coulomb (C), which bears the name of French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, is the SI-derived unit of electric charge. The charge symbol, lowercase q, is frequently used.

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.50, at an angle of incidence of 45°. Calc
balandron [24]

Answer:

Approximately 28^{\circ}.

Explanation:

The refractive index of the air n_{\text{air}} is approximately 1.00.

Let n_\text{glass} denote the refractive index of the glass block, and let \theta _{\text{glass}} denote the angle of refraction in the glass. Let \theta_\text{air} denote the angle at which the light enters the glass block from the air.

By Snell's Law:

n_{\text{glass}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) = n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}}).

Rearrange the Snell's Law equation to obtain:

\begin{aligned} \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) &= \frac{n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}{n_{\text{glass}}} \\ &= \frac{(1.00)\, (\sin(45^{\circ}))}{1.50} \\ &\approx 0.471\end{aligned}.

Hence:

\begin{aligned} \theta_{\text{glass}} &= \arcsin (0.471) \approx 28^{\circ}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the angle of refraction in the glass would be approximately 28^{\circ}.
