Answer:

1.86 x 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

n = 1.61

The formula for the refractive index is given by

n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in material

n = c / v

v = c / n

v = (3 x 10^8) / 1.61

v = 1.86 x 10^8 m/s

A projectile is shot at an angle 45 degrees to the horizontalnear the surface of the earth but in the absence of air resistance.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

v₂ = 176.24 m/s

Explanation:

given,

angle of projectile = 45°

speed = v₁ = 150 m/s

for second trail

speed = v₂ = ?

angle of projectile = 37°

maximum height attained formula,

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v^2 sin^2(\theta)}{g}$

now,

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v_1^2 sin^2(\theta_1)}{g}$

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v_2^2 sin^2(\theta_2)}{g}$

now, equating both the equations

$\dfrac{v_2^2}{v_1^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(\theta_1)}{sin^2(\theta_2)}$

$\dfrac{v_2^2}{150^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(45^0)}{sin^2(37^0)}$

v₂² = 31061.79

v₂ = 176.24 m/s

velocity of projectile would be equal to v₂ = 176.24 m/s

A 10 kg turkey, He kicks the 0.5 kg ball with a force of 50N for 0.2 seconds and the ball flies straight away horizontally from

Harman [31]

Answer:

a. 20m/s

b.50N

c. Turkey has a larger mass than the ball. Neglible final acceleration and therefore remains stationery.

Explanation:

a. Given the force as 50N, times as 0.2seconds and the weight of the ball as 0.5 kg, it's final velocity can be calculated as:

$F\bigtriangleup t=m\bigtriangleup v\\\\50N\times 0.2s=0.5kg\times \bigtriangleup v\\\\\bigtriangleup v=2(50N\times0.2)\\\\=20m/s$

Hence, the velocity of the ball after the kick is 20m/s

b.The force felt by the turkey:

#Applying Newton's 3rd Law of motion, opposite and equal reaction:

-The turkey felt a force of 50N but in the opposite direction to the same force felt by the ball.

c. Using the law of momentum conservation:

-Due to ther external forces exerted on the turkey, it remains stationery.

-The turkey has a larger mass than the ball. It will therefore have a negligible acceleration if any and thus remains stationery.

-Momentum is not conserved due to these external forces.

Sort the processes based on the type of energy transfer they involve.

blsea [12.9K]

Hi, thank you for posting your question herein Brainly.

These physical changes could be classified based on their energy requirements: endothermic or exothermic. Endothermic reaction need to absorb energy, while exothermic reaction need to release the energy in order to achieve spontaneous reactions.

Exothermic: Condensation, Freezing, Deposition
Endothermic: Sublimation, Evaporation, Melting
