Answer:

-2 m/s²

8.7 m/s

Explanation:

Using Newton's second law, the sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

-120 N = (60 kg) a

a = -2 m/s²

Given:

Δx = 6.0 m

v₀ = 10 m/s

a = -2 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (10 m/s)² + 2 (-2 m/s²) (6.0 m)

v = 8.7 m/s

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the crit
jeyben [28]

Answer:

θ_c = 24.4º

Explanation:

To find the critical angle, let's use the law of refraction where index 1 refers to the incident medium (diamond) and index 2 refers to the medium where it is to be refracted (air)

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

for the critical angle the ray comes out refracted parallel to the surface, therefore the angle is

         θ₂ = 90

        n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂

        θ_c = θ₁ = sin⁻¹ \frac{n_2}{n_1}

the index of refraction of the diamond is tabulated

       n₁ = 2.419

let's calculate

          θ_c = sin⁻¹ (\frac{1}{2.419})

         θ_c = 24.4º

Why is it not advisable to sterilize clinical thermometer with boiling water
amm1812
It will break. A clinical the emoter is designed to measure relatively small changes in temperature. The substance inside a clinical thermoset will expand or evaporate at boiling temperatures and break.

5) Find the initial velocity for a 700 kg car that
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Δv = 12 m/s, but we are not given the direction, so there are really an infinite number of potential solutions.

Maximum initial speed is 40.6 m/s

Minimum initial speed is 16.6 m/s

Explanation:

Assume this is a NET impulse so we can ignore friction.

An impulse results in a change of momentum

The impulse applied was

p = Ft = 1400(6.0) = 8400 N•s

p = mΔv

Δv = 8400 / 700 = 12 m/s

If the impulse was applied in the direction the car was already moving, the initial velocity was

vi = 28.6 - 12 = 16.6 m/s

if the impulse was applied in the direction opposite of the original velocity, the initial velocity was

vi = 28.6 + 12 = 40.6 m/s

Other angles of Net force would result in various initial velocities.
