Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6

One of the longer sides of a kite is 39 feet. one of the shorter sides is 25 feet. half the length of the shorter diagonal is 15
pychu [463]
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the height of the triangle by the length of the base and dividing them both by 2. The length of the shorter side in the equation is useless information, so just multiply 39 by 25 and divide that by 2. A=487.5 sq ft. Also, that's a pretty big kite.

A truck tire rotates at an initial angular speed of 21.5 rad/s. The driver steadily accelerates, and after 3.50 s the tire's ang
erma4kov [3.2K]

Given:

initial angular speed, \omega _{i} = 21.5 rad/s

final angular speed, \omega _{f} = 28.0 rad/s

time, t = 3.50 s

Solution:

Angular acceleration can be defined as the time rate of change of angular velocity and is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f} - \omega _{i}}{t}

Now, putting the given values in the above formula:

\alpha = \frac{28.0 - 21.5}{3.50}

\alpha = 1.86 m/s^{2}

Therefore, angular acceleration is:

\alpha = 1.86 m/s^{2}
