Answer

Given,

refractive index of film, n = 1.6

refractive index of air, n' = 1

angle of incidence, i = 35°

angle of refraction, r = ?

Using Snell's law

n' sin i = n sin r

1 x sin 35° = 1.6 x sin  r

 r = 21°

Angle of refraction is equal to 21°.

Now,

distance at which refractive angle comes out

d = 2.5 mm

α be the angle with horizontal surface and incident ray.

α = 90°-21° = 69°

t be the thickness of the film.

So,

tan \alpha = \dfrac{t}{d/2}

tan 61^0 = \dfrac{t}{2.5/2}

t = 2.26 mm

Hence, the thickness of the film is equal to 2.26 mm.

Consider a car that travels between points A and B. The car's average speed can be greater than the magnitude of its average vel
ryzh [129]

Answer: A.True

Explanation: simply put the magnitude of the speed is a function of Distance while the magnitude of velocity is a function of Displacement. Displacement is the average Distance moved in different directions which will be smaller in magnitude compared to the Total Distance used the calculating the magnitude of speed.

to take off an aircraft carrier, 21000 kg jet needs to accelerate at 36.9 m/s ^2.how much force is required?
user100 [1]
Force = mass times acceleration
F = 21000 x 36.9 = 774900
Therefore, 774900N force is required.

When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart
mixer [17]

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

as we know that

m_1 = 5 kg

m_2 = 2 kg

v_{1i} = 2.8 m/s

v_{2i} = 0 m/s

now from above equation we have

5(2.8) + 2(0) = m_1v+ m_2v

14 = (5+ 2) v

v = 2 m/s

so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s
