Answer:

4.57 degree

Explanation:

As the dolphin is under water, so the angle is angle of refraction which is equal to 48.4 degree.

refractive index of water, n = 1.333

Let the angle of incidence which is the angle between the incident ray and the normal is i.

By use of Snell's law

n = \frac{Sin i}{Sin r}

1.333 = \frac{Sin i}{Sin 48.4}

Sin i = 1.333\times Sin 48.4 = 0.9968

i = 85.43 degree

Angle made with the horizon = 90 - 85.43 = 4.57 degree

A force acts on a 9.90 kg mobile object that moves from an initial position of to a final position of in 5.40 s. Find (a) the wo
horrorfan [7]

Given that,

Mass of object = 9.90 kg

Time =5.40 s

Suppose the force is (2.00i + 9.00j + 5.30k) N, initial position is (2.70i - 2.90j + 5.50k) m and final position is (-4.10i + 3.30j + 5.40k) m.

We need to calculate the displacement

Using formula of displacement

s=r_{2}-r_{1}

Where, r_{1} = initial position

r_{2} = final position

Put the value into the formula

s= (-4.10i + 3.30j + 5.40k)-(2.70i - 2.90j + 5.50k)

s= -6.80i+6.20j-0.1k

(a). We need to calculate the work done on the object

Using formula of work done

W=F\cdot s

Put the value into the formula

W=(2.00i + 9.00j + 5.30k)\cdot (-6.80i+6.20j-0.1k)

W=-13.6+55.8-0.53

W=41.67\ J

(b). We need to calculate the average power due to the force during that interval

Using formula of power

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

Where, P = power

W = work

t = time

Put the value into the formula

P=\dfrac{41.67}{5.40}

P=7.71\ Watt

(c). We need to calculate the angle between vectors

Using formula of angle

\theta=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{r_{1}r_{2}}{|r_{1}||r_{2}|})

Put the value into the formula

\theta=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{(-4.10i + 3.30j + 5.40k)\cdot(2.70i - 2.90j + 5.50k)}{7.54\times6.778})

\theta=79.7^{\circ}

Hence, (a). The work done on the object by the force in the 5.40 s interval is 41.67 J.

(b). The average power due to the force during that interval is 7.71 Watt.

(c).  The angle between vectors is 79.7°
