Answer: 56°

Explanation:

Brewster's angle refers to the angle at the point where light of a certain polarization passes through a transparent dielectric surface and is transmitted perfectly such that no reflection is made.

The formula is;

= Tan^{-1} (\frac{n_{2} }{n_{1}} )

= Tan^{-1} (\frac{1.5 }{1} )

= 56.30993247

= 56°

Identify solar, wind, nuclear, and tidal power as nonrenewable or renewable energy
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Renewable energy: Tidal, solar and wind

Non renewable energy: nuclear power

Explanation:

Renewable energy is any energy in which its source is always replenished or renewed.

While non renewable energy sources cannot be replenished or renewed immediately because of its limited availability of resources.

Most renewable energy sources are natural sources.

Solar, tidal and wind energy are renewable energy known as clean energy. While nuclear energy is a non renewable energy in which its source of energy is fuel ( uranium e.t.c)

A uniform solid disk of mass 5.00 kg and diameter 47.0 cm starts from rest and rolls without slipping down a 40.0 ∘ incline that
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The speed it reaches the bottom is

v=6.51m/s

Explanation:

Given: m=5.0kg, r=47cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.47m

Using the conservation of energy theorem

U_i=K_E+K_{ER}

m*g*h=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2+\frac{1}{2}*I*w^2

v=r*w, I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2

m*g*h=\frac{1}{2}*m*(r*w)^2 +\frac{1}{2}*[\frac{1}{2} *m*r^2]*w^2

m*g*h=\frac{3}{4}*m*r^2*w^2

g*h=\frac{3}{4}*r^2*w^2

Solve to w'

w^2=\frac{4*g*h}{3*r^2}

h=x*sin(30)=6.5m*sin(30)=3.25m

w=\sqrt{\frac{4*9.8m/s^2*3.25m}{3*(0.235m)^2}}

w=27.74rad/s

v=27.74rad/s*0.235m=6.51m/s

Silver: bonds with other atoms because of the weak forces of the valence electrons 
FALSE - The strong forces of the valence electrons is actually the reason why silver bonds with other atoms.

Water: bonds allow for liquid state at room temperature and prevent conduction 
FALSE - Water is a good conductor.

Carbon: bonds with other atoms through strong shared electrical bonds 
TRUE - Carbon shares covalent bonds with other atoms.

Niobium: bonds allow for a strong conductivity found in stainless steel
FALSE - Iron and Carbon make up steel.

What is the direction of the force for a negative charge moving downward in a magnetic field pointing to the left?
velikii [3]

Answer: A

Out of the screen

Explanation:

Using right hand rule, the magnetic force is perpendicular to the plane form by the magnetic field of a charged particle and its speed. Which will be into the screen.

But the negative charged particle moves in the opposite direction of the positive charged particle. Therefore, the magnetic force direction will be out of the screen
