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 90 kg person stands at the edge of a stationary children's merry-go-round at a distance of 5.0 m from its center. The person s
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The rotation rate of the man is:

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{0.80\,\frac{m}{s} }{5\,m}

\omega = 0.16\,\frac{rad}{s}

The resultant rotation rate of the system is computed from the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}\cdot (0.16\,\frac{rad}{s} ) = [(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}+20000\,kg\cdot m^{2}]\cdot \omega

The final angular speed is:

\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

         

a-b

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.          

 

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams} ⇒ 7.6x10^{-3}Kg

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 90.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The mass of the ice block is equal to 70.15 kg

Explanation:

The data for this exercise are as follows:

F=90 N

insignificant friction force

x=13 m

t=4.5 s

m=?

applying the equation of rectilinear motion we have:

x = xo + vot + at^2/2

where xo = initial distance =0

vo=initial velocity = 0

a is the acceleration

therefore the equation is:

x = at^2/2

Clearing a:

a=2x/t^2=(2x13)/(4.5^2)=1.283 m/s^2

we use Newton's second law to calculate the mass of the ice block:

F=ma

m=F/a = 90/1.283=70.15 kg
