Answer: 20 degrees

Explanation:

Given that the

Refractive index n = 1.5

Incident angle = 31 degree

The refractive index formula is:

n = sin I/sin R

1.5 = sin 31/ sin R

Make sin R the subject of formula

Sin R = sin 31 / 1.5

Sin R = 0.515 / 1.5

Sin R = 0.343

R = sin^-1(0.34335)

R = 20 degrees

Therefore, it enters the air at angle 20 degrees

A piece of tape is pulled from a spool and lowered toward a 120-mg scrap of paper. Only when the tape comes within 8.0 mm is the

Anton [14]

Answer:

$1.176\times 10^{-3} N$

Upward

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of scarp paper, $m=120 mg=120\times 10^{-6}kg$

1mg= $10^{-6} mkg$

Distance,d =8 mm= $8\times 10^{-3} m$

Magnitude of electric force = $F_E= w=mg$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$F_E=120\times 10^{-6}\times 9.8$

$F_E=1.176\times 10^{-3} N$

Gravitational force act in downward direction.

The electric force acts in opposite direction and magnitude of electric force is equal to gravitational force.

Hence, the direction of electric force is upward.

In general, if the temperature of a chemical reaction is increased, the reaction rateA. IncreasesB. decreasesC. remains the same

In-s [12.5K]

A. Increases

I would assume this to be the answer because heat is another form of energy. If there is more energy the molecules will become more active. This makes A the most logical answer.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

$0.261\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

$\Delta f$ = Change in frequency = 2.1 Hz

$f$ = Frequency of source of sound = 440 Hz

$v_m$ = Maximum of the microphone

$v$ = Speed of sound = 343 m/s

$T$ = Time period = 2 s

We have the relation

$\Delta f=2f\dfrac{v_m}{v}\\\Rightarrow v_m=\dfrac{\Delta fv}{2f}\\\Rightarrow v_m=\dfrac{2.1\times 343}{2\times 440}\\\Rightarrow v_m=0.8185\ \text{m/s}$

Amplitude is given by

$A=\dfrac{v_m T}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{0.8185\times 2}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow A=0.261\ \text{m}$

The amplitude of the simple harmonic motion is $0.261\ \text{m}$ .
