Answer:

The angle of refraction is 37°.

Explanation:

let n1 be the refractive index of glass and n2 = 1.0 be the refraction index of air, θ be the angle of incidence , ∅ be the angle of refraction.

then, according to Snell's law:

n1×sin(∅) = n2×sin(θ)

    sin(∅) = n2×sin(θ)/n1

              = (1.0)(sin(71°))/(1.56)

              = 0.606101651

          ∅ = 37°

Therefore, the angle of refraction is 37°.

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 160 feet with an initial speed of 144 feet per second.
Leviafan [203]
Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is: 

<span>s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. </span>

<span>This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. </span>

<span>Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet. </span>

Jack drops a stone from rest off of the top of a bridge that is 24.4 m above the ground. After the stone falls 6.6 m, Jill throw
alukav5142 [94]
-17.555m/s

first I found the time it took for jacks stone to reach the bottom, using the formula vf = vi + at, vf and vi are final and initial velocities.

then i found the velocity at 6.6m using vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad
and I found the time it took to get to 6.6m, so that I knew how long Jill waited to throw her stone, I used the formula d = t(vi+vf)/2, then i done total time - the time she waited, to get the time it took for there stones to hit the ground at the same time.

then to find the initial velocity of her throw I used the formula d = vit + (at^2)/2

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.

At 6: 00 am, a motorbike set off from town A to town B at a speed of 40km/h. At the same time, a car set off from town B to town
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

One would need to know how far apart the towns are:

T = SA / 40      time it takes for first cyclist to travel S1

T = SB / 60       time it takes for cyclist B to travel distance S2

SA + SB = S     the distance between the towns

SB = 60 / 40 SA = 1.5 SA

SA + 1.5 SA = S

S = 2.5 SA where cyclist travels distance SA

The time will depend on the separation of the towns.
