Initial velocity (Vi) = 25 m/s

acceleration (a) = $-4 m/s^{2}$

time interval (t) = 5 sec

let us assume that final velocity after 5 sec be Vf

As acceleration is constant, we can apply the the equation of motion with constant acceleration i.e. $V_{f} = V_{i} + at$

Hence, $V_{f} = 25 +(-4)(5) = 25 -20 = 5 m/s$

so, the velocity of bicyclist will be 5 m/s after 5 sec

The atom in the diagram has a neutral charge how many protons does it have

Olegator [25]

Explanation:

This should be of help:

An atom is made up of three subatomic particles:

Protons are the positively charged particles.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles.
Neutrons do not carry any charges.

A neutral atom is an atom that has not lost or gained any amount of electrons.

In a neutral atom;

the number of protons and electrons are the same

Usually atoms are designated this way:

ᵃₙX

where X is the symbol of the atom

a is the mass number of the atom

n is the atomic number of the atom

The mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number = number of protons

Note; atomic number is the same as the number protons and the number of electrons in a neutral atom.

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 56.6° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle

Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a). Index of refraction are $n_{red}$ = 1.344 & $n_{violet}$ = 1.406

(b). The velocity of red light in the glass $v_{red} =$ 2.23 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of violet light in the glass $v_{violet} =$ 2.13 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We know that

Law of reflection is

$n_1 \sin\theta_{1} = n_2 \sin\theta_{2}$

Here

$\theta_1$ = angle of incidence

$\theta_2$ = angle of refraction

(a). For red light

1 × $\sin 56.6$ = $n_{red}$ × $\sin 38.4$

$n_{red}$ = 1.344

For violet light

1 × $\sin 56.6$ = $n_{violet}$ × $\sin 36.4$

$n_{violet}$ = 1.406

(b). Index of refraction is given by

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

$n_{red}$ = 1.344

$v_{red} = \frac{c}{n_{red} }$

$v_{red} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.344}$

$v_{red} =$ 2.23 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of red light in the glass.

The velocity of violet light in the glass is given by

$v_{violet} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.406}$

$v_{violet} =$ 2.13 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of violet light in the glass.
