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°.

When connecting a step down transformer what does the h1 symbol denote?
densk [106]

Answer: Primary coil

A Step-down transformer is an electrical device which is used to decrease the voltage using magnetic induction. The windings of the primary coil are more than the windings of the secondary coils. h1, h2 notations are used to refer to primary coils. On the other hand, x1, x2 notations are used to refer to the secondary coils of the transformer. In case of step-up transformer, the windings of primary coil are less than the secondary in order to increase the voltage.

The tire above has a recommended tire pressure of 35 PSI, however, its current pressure is only 26 PSI. Which of the following c
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

option B  

Explanation:

It is given that in the tire the recommended pressure is 35 PSI however the current pressure is only 26 PSI which means that pressure in the tire is less than the recommended so the chances of blowout of the tire gets eliminated hence option A is not correct.

Having pressure less in the tire can lead to the Unstable handling of the vehicle.

so correct answer is option B

There are 8.8 liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.75 atmospheres. The temperature remains constant, and the gas is comp
saveliy_v [14]

The new pressure P2 is 2.48 atmosphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here, the one of the product of pressure and volume is equal to the products of pressure and volume of other.

By using Boyles's law,

               pressure is inversely proportional to volume,

                                         P1 V1 = P2 V2

where P1, V1 represents the first pressure and volume,

           P2, V2 represents the second pressure and volume

                                              P2 = (P1 V1) / V2

                                                    = (1.75 \times 8.8) / 6.2

                                              P2  = 2.48 atmosphere.

A 3kg object moving at 4 m/s encounters a 20 N resistive force over a duration of 0.20 seconds. The impulse experienced by this
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

the impulse experienced by this object is 4 Ns

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 3 kg

velocity of the object, v = 4 m/s

resistive force, F = 20 N

duration of impact, t = 0.2 s

The impulse experienced by this object is calculated as follows;

J = F x t

J = 20 x 0.2

J = 4 Ns

Therefore, the impulse experienced by this object is 4 Ns
