I think that would be it.

You have an incident ray from a medium with a n1=1, through a medium with a n2 =3.325. If the incident angle is equal to 0.478 r

sesenic [268]

Answer:

0.139 rad

Explanation:

We use Snell's law $n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2$ , where if $n_1$ is the refractive index of the medium containing the incident ray, $\theta_1$ would be the incident angle, and if $n_2$ is the refractive index of the medium containing the refracted ray, $\theta_2$ would be the refraction angle, 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:

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

A resistor is connected in series with an AC source that provides a sinusoidal voltage of v of t is equal to V times cosine of b

nekit [7.7K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

In circuits, the average power is defined as the average of the instantaneous power over one period. The instantaneous power can be found as:

$p(t)=v(t)i(t)$

So the average power is:

$P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}p(t)dt$

But:

$v(t)=v_{m}cos(\omega t) \\ \\ i(t)=i_{m}cos(\omega t)$

So:

$P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}v_{m}cos(\omega t)i_{m}cos(\omega t)dt \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}cos^{2}(\omega t)dt \\ \\ But: cos^{2}(\omega t)=\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2}$

$P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}(\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2} )dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{cos(2\omega t)}{2}]dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}[\frac{1}{2}(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{4\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2T}[(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{2\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2}$

In terms of RMS values:

$V_{RMS}=V=\frac{v_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ I_{RMS}=I=\frac{i_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ P=VI$

Extreme-sports enthusiasts have been known to jump off the top of El Capitan, a sheer granite cliff of height 910 m in Yosemite

german

Answer:

The jumper is in freefall for 12.447 seconds.

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating how far the jumper falls.

Initial height (on cliff) = 910 m

Final height after freefall = 150 m

Distance the jumper falls in freefall = 910 - 150 = 760 m

We can now use the equation of motion below to solve for the time:

$s=u*t+\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)$

here. acceleration = 9.81 m/s (due to gravity)

initial speed (u) = 0 m/s (because vertical speed is 0 at the start)

and distance (s) = 760 meters (as calculated above)

So for speed we get:

$760=0*t+0.5(9.81*t^2)$

$760=4.905t^2$

t = 12.447 seconds

Suppose you know only the position of an object at instants A and B. Is more than one displacement possible? Is more than one av

Burka [1]

Is more than one displacement possible?
No, displacement only considers the initial and final position.
Is more than one average velocity possible?
No, the average velocity is defined as displacement per time and since there is only one displacement possible, there is only one average velocity possible as well.
Is more than one average speed possible?
Yes, the average speed considers the total distance traveled and this distance may not be the same as the total displacement.
