The movie Star Wars<span> is a space opera interstellar epic which uses science and technology in its settings and storylines, although its main focus is not necessarily on science.</span>

Many elements in the films appear to defy simple laws of physics.<span>
One of which is the falling of spaceships when they are hit by a laser beam. Experts said, this is one good example because without gravity in space, ships should travel in the direction of the impact instead of dropping like a stone.</span>

Assuming 84.0% efficiency for the conversion of electrical power by the motor, what current must the 13.0-V batteries of a 716 k
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

\mathbf{ current(I) =1766.67 \ A}

Explanation:

Given that:

The air resistance and friction = 700 N

The gravity caused force = 716 × 9.8 = 7016.8

Total force = (7016.8 + 700) N

Total force = 7716.8 N

∴

13 \times  current(I) \times 0.84 = \dfrac{7716.8 \times 300}{2 \times 60}

current(I) \times 10.92= 19292

current(I) = \dfrac{19292}{10.92}

\mathbf{ current(I) =1766.67 \ A}

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is
podryga [215]

Answer: critical angle, sin^-1 (n2/n1)

Explanation: the angle of incidence at which the retracted ray makes an angle of 90° with the normal is known as the critical angle.

Snell's law defined refraction mathematically as shown below

n1 sin θi = n2 sin θr

n1 = refractive index of the first medium

n2 = refractive index of the second medium

θi = angle of incidence

θr = angle of refraction

When the refrafted ray is perpendicular to the normal, the angle of refraction (θr) is 90° hence making the angle of incidence (θi) the critical angle θc

By substituting these conditions into the Snell's law, we have that

n1 sin θc = n2 sin 90

According to trigonometry, the value of sin 90 is 1, hence we have that

n1 sin θc =n2

sin θc = n2/n1

θc = sin^-1 (n2/n1)

Frictional force is caused by the interaction of a body with​
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Frictional force always acts parallel to two planes in contact with each other and in a direction opposite to that of relative motion of the two bodies. 2. Frictional forces are caused due to intermolecular interactions between the bodies.  Frictional force is more for rough surface and less for smooth surfaces.

Bruno the bat flies at a speed of 0.5 m/s in circle of radius 1 m. What is his acceleration?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Acceleration is 0.25m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed = 0.5m/s

Radius(r) of circle = 1m

Acceleration round a circular path is given as :

a = v^2 / r

Where

a = acceleration of the body

v = speed / velocity

r = radius

Therefore,

a = v^2 / r

a = (0.5)^2 / 1

a = 0.25m/s^2

Please help
eimsori [14]

Answer:

  1. It's important that we understand how the climate is changing, so that we can prepare for the future. Studying the climate helps us predict how much rain the next winter might bring, or how far sea levels will rise due to warmer sea temperatures
  2. As the cold front passes, winds become gusty. There is a sudden drop in temperature, and also heavy rain, sometimes with hail, thunder, and lightning.
