Answer:

19.872 degrees

Explanation:

Mathematically;

Using Snell’s law

n1 sin A = n2 sinB

Where ;

n1 = refractive index in air = 1

n2 is refractive index in water = 1.33

A = ?

B = 45

Substituting the values in the equation;

1 sin A = 1.33 sin45

Sin A = 1.33 sin 45

A = arc sin (1.33 sin 45)

A = 70.12

Thus, the actual direction of the Sun with respect to the horizon = 90-A = 19.872 degrees

Find an expression for the electric field e⃗ at the center of the semicircle. hint: a small piece of arc length δs spans a small
ahrayia [7]
Let l = Q/L = linear charge density. The semi-circle has a length L which is half the circumference of the circle. So w can relate the radius of the circle to L by 

<span>C = 2L = 2*pi*R ---> R = L/pi </span>

<span>Now define the center of the semi-circle as the origin of coordinates and define a as the angle between R and the x-axis. </span>

<span>we can define a small charge dq as </span>

<span>dq = l*ds = l*R*da </span>

<span>So the electric field can be written as: </span>

<span>dE =kdq*(cos(a)/R^2 I_hat + sin(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>dE = k*I*R*da*(cos(a)/R^2 I_hat + sin(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>E = k*I*(sin(a)/R I_hat - cos(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>E = pi*k*Q/L(sin(a)/L I_hat - cos(a)/L j_hat)</span>

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

293k

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the temperature to which the reaction must be heated to double the equilibrium constant.

To find this value, we will need to use the Van’t Hoff equation.
