The following instructions are my idea.

P=m*v

1. notice that the to masses move in opposite directions -> one has positive and one has negative speed

2. P1=4*(-4)=-16[kg*m/s]
P2=3*8=24[kg*m/s]
3. Add the momentums:

P1+P2=-16+24=8[kg*m/s]

The total momentum of mass equals 8 kg*m/s

An incident light ray strikes water at an angle of 20 degrees. The index of refraction of air is 1.0003, and the index of refrac
sammy [17]
In order to determine the angle of the refracted ray, we may apply Snell's law, which states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is constant for a given wave when it passes through two different media. Mathematically, this is:
n₁sin(∅₁) = n₂sin(∅₂)
Where n is the refractive index. Substituting the values given into the equation:
1.0003 * sin(20°) = 1.33 * sin(∅)
∅ = 14.91

The angle of the refracted ray is 15°.
