Answer:

<h2>index of refraction = 1.69</h2><h2>percentage error = 10.58%</h2>

Explanation:

According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media. The constant is known as the refractive index.

Mathematically \frac{sin i}{sin r} = n

i = angle of incidence measured = 63.5°

r = angle of refraction measured = 32°

n = refractive index

n = \frac{sin 63.5^{0} }{sin 32^{0} } \\n = \frac{0.8949}{0.5299}\\ n = 1.69

The index fraction calculated is approx. 1.69.

If the index of refraction of a clear plastic as listed in the book is 1.89 and the calculated is 1.69, the percentage error will be calculated as thus;

%error = \frac{1.89-1.69}{1.89} * 100

%error = \frac{0.2}{1.89}*100

%error  = \frac{20}{1.89}

%error  = 10.58%

The distance D where the object comes to rest is 1.08.m.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>
  • The separation of one thing from another in space; the distance or separation in space between two objects, points, lines, etc.; remoteness. The distance of seven miles cannot be accomplished in one hour of walking.
  • Learn how to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the separation between two points using the distance formula. The Pythagorean theorem can be rewritten as d==(((x 2-x 1)2+(y 2-y 1)2)
  • The distance between any two places is the length of the line segment separating them. By measuring the length of the line segment that connects the two points in coordinate geometry, the distance between them may be calculated.

(c) the distance D where the object comes to rest.

W_{total} =ΔKE ⇒ -0.25*1*9.8*D = 0-1/2*1*2.3^{2}

⇒D=\frac{0.5*2.3^{2} }{2.45}

⇒1.08.m

describes how the color and texture of a surface affect absorption and reflection of solar radiation?
Wewaii [24]

Most of the radiation, however, is absorbed by the earth's surface. ... Every surface on earth absorbs and reflects energy at varying degrees, based on its color and texture. Dark-colored objects absorb more visible radiation; light-colored objects reflect more visible radiation.

A circular loop with radius r is rotating with constant angular velocity ω in a uniform electric field with magnitude E. The axi
inn [45]

Answer:

\Phi_{E} = E\pi r^2 \omega t

Explanation:

The electric flux is defined as the multiple of electric field and the area that the electric field passes through, such that

\Phi_{E} = \vec{E}\vec{A}

When calculating the electric flux, the angle between the directions of electric field and the area becomes important, especially if the angle is changing with time.

The above formula can be rewritten as follows

\Phi_{E} = EA\cos(\theta)

where θ is the angle between the electric field and the area of the loop. Note that, the direction of the area of the loop is perpendicular to the plane of the loop.

If the loop is rotating with constant angular velocity ω, then the angle can be written as follows

\theta = \omega t

At t = 0, cos(0) = 1 and the electric flux through the loop is at its maximum value.

Therefore the electric flux can be written as a function of time

\Phi_{E} = E\pi r^2 \omega t

A student pushes a 12.0 kg box with a horizontal force of 20 N. The friction force on the box is 9.0 N. Which of the following i
Hoochie [10]

The acceleration of the box is approximately 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m = 12.0 kg is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration

The net force can be written as

\sum F = F_a - F_f

where

F_a = 20 N is the applied forward force

F_f=9.0 N is the friction force

Combining the two equations,

F_a-F_f=ma

And solving for the acceleration,

a=\frac{F_a-F_f}{m}=\frac{20-9}{12}=0.9 m/s^2\sim 1 m/s^2

I believe that the best statement which explains why you can do this is C. <span>The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
Copper is known to be one of the best conductors of electricity, and plastic can shield you from shock.
