7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and displacement.  Work is positive if force and displacement moves in the same direction. Work is negative if force and displacement moves in opposite direction.  Take for example, a load is to move from point A to point B in the forward direction. if you apply force on the load from point A to B work done on the load is positive. If it happens that the force you apply is to the opposite direction, the work done will be negative.

A slab of glass has a 0.600 cm thick layer of water on top of it. A light ray strikes the water at an incident angle of 59.0°. A
Dimas [21]

Answer:

49.63 degree

Explanation:

thickness of glass slab, t = 0.6 cm

angle of incidence = 59 degree

Let r be the angle of refraction

The refractive index of glass, ng = 3/2

refractive index of water, nw = 4/3

refarctive index of glass with respect to water = ng / nw = 3 /2 ÷ 4 /3 = 9 / 8

So, by use of Snell's law

Refractive index of glass with respect to water = Sin i / Sin r

9 / 8 = Sin 59 / Sin r

9 / 8 = 0.857 / Sin r

Sin r = 0.7619

r = 49.63 degree

You lift a 10-N physics book up in the air a distance of 1.0 m, at a constant velocity
Anarel [89]

The book is lifted upward, but gravity points down, so the work done by gravity must be negative (so you can eliminate options 1 and 3).

The force exerted on the book by gravity has magnitude

<em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> = (10 N) (9.80 m/s^2) = 9.8 N ≈ 10 N

You raise the book 1.0 m in the opposite direction, so the work done is

<em>W</em> = (10 N) (-1.0 m) = -10 J

In which part of the ear is the sound wave converted into electrical impulse
Kryger [21]
The part of the ear where the sound wave converted into electrical impulse would be the cochlea. This part is the  auditory portion of the inner ear which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
