Here's a formula that's simple and useful, and if you're really in
high school physics, I'd be surprised if you haven't see it before. 
This one is so simple and useful that I'd suggest memorizing it,
so it's always in your toolbox.

This formula tells how far an object travels in how much time,
when it's accelerating:

               Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (Time²).

                           D = 1/2 A T²

For your student who dropped an object out of the window,

     Distance = 19.6 m
     Acceleration = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

                                              D = 1/2 G T²

                                          19.6 =   4.9   T²

Divide each side by 4.9 :       4  =           T²

Square root each side:           2  =          T

When an object is dropped in Earth gravity,
it takes  2  seconds to fall the first 19.6 meters.

Earth's gravity is 9.807 m/s²

Using this we can divide 19.6/9.807 to get 1.999 seconds or two if you round.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.

Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

\beta = 41.68°

Explanation:

according to snell's law

\frac{n_w}{n_g} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin30 }

refractive index of water n_w is 1.33

refractive index of glass  n_g  is 1.5

sin\alpha = \frac{n_w}{n_g}* sin30

sin\alpha = 0.443

now applying snell's law between air and glass, so we have

\frac{n_g}{n_a} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin\beta}

sin\beta = \frac{n_g}{n_a} sin\alpha

\beta = sin^{-1} [\frac{n_g}{n_a}*sin\alpha]

we know that sin\alpha = 0.443

\beta = 41.68°
