This is a clever question.

The sun always illuminates 50% of the Earth ... 24/7/365 .

The northernmost place on Earth is the north pole. 
It is illuminated from March 21 to September 21 ...
continuously for half of the year between the equinoxes.

The southernmost place on Earth is the south pole. 
It is illuminated from September 21 to March 21 ...
continuously for the other half of the year between
the equinoxes.

The only times when both the northernmost and southernmost
places are illuminated by the sun are the times of the two
equinoxes ... March 21 and September 21.

Answer:

5. dispersion

6. 49.8°

Explanation:

5. Dispersion is the name given to the phenomenon of light of different wavelengths being bent differently. A rainbow is the result of light from a point source (the sun) being spread out by wavelength (color), a nice example of dispersion.

___

6. n = 1.31 is the ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction to the sine of the angle of incidence (for light passing to a medium of n = 1). When the angle of refraction is 90°, the angle of incidence is the "critical angle." So, ...

sin(90°)/sin(critical) = 1.31

critical angle = arcsin(1/1.31) ≈ 49.8°

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

x=4.06m

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t  (1)\\\\

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X(2)\\\\

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}    (3)\\

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

for this problem

Vf=7.6m/s

t=1.07

Vo=0

we can use the ecuation number one to find the acceleration

a=(Vf-Vo)/t

a=(7.6-0)/1.07=7.1m/s^2

then we can use the ecuation number 2 to find the distance

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X

(7.6^2-0^2)/(2x7.1)=4.06m

Your 64-cm-diameter car tire is rotating at 3.3 rev/swhen suddenly you press down hard on the accelerator. After traveling 250 m
umka21 [38]

Answer:

0.76 rad/s^2

Explanation:

First, we convert the original and final velocity from rev/s to rad/s:

v_o = 3.3\frac{rev}{s} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} =20.73 rad/s

v_f = 6.4\frac{rev}{s} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}=40.21 rad/s

Now, we need to find the number of rads that the tire rotates in the 250m path. We use the arc length formula:

D = x*r \\x = \frac{D}{r} = \frac{250m}{0.64m/2} = 781.25 rads

Now, we just use the formula:

w_f^2-w_o^2=2\alpha*x

\alpha =\frac{w_f^2-w_o^2}{2x} = \frac{(40.21rad/s)^2-(20.73rad/s)^2}{2*781.25rad} = 0.76 rad/s^2
