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°.

Two cars are moving towards each other and sound emitted by first car with real frequency of 3000 hertz is detected by a person
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

 v ’= 21.44 m / s

Explanation:

This is a doppler effect exercise that changes the frequency of the sound due to the relative movement of the source and the observer, the expression that describes the phenomenon for body approaching s

           f ’= f (v + v₀) / (v-v_{s})

where it goes is the speed of sound 343 m / s, v_{s} the speed of the source v or the speed of the observer

in this exercise both the source and the observer are moving, we will assume that both have the same speed,

                v₀ = v_{s} = v ’

we substitute

               f ’= f (v + v’) / (v - v ’)

               f ’/ f (v-v’) = v + v ’

               v (f ’/ f -1) = v’ (1 + f ’/ f)

               v ’= (f’ / f-1) / (1 + f ’/ f) v

               v ’= (f’-f) / (f + f’) v

let's calculate

                v ’= (3400 -3000) / (3000 +3400) 343

                v ’= 400/6400 343

                v ’= 21.44 m / s

Identify the situations that have an unbalanced force. Check all that apply. A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air. A
viktelen [127]
<span>A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air.
Yes.  Forces on the balloon are unbalanced. 
The balloon is speeding up, so we know that the downward force
of gravity is stronger than the upward force of air resistance.

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground.
No. The ball is not accelerating, so we know that the forces on it
are balanced.
The downward force of gravity on the ball and the upward force
of the ground are equal.


An ice skater glides in a straight line at a constant speed.
No. The skater's speed and direction are not changing, so he is not
accelerating.  That tells us that the forces on him are balanced.

A bumper car hit by another car moves off at an angle.
Yes.  The direction in which the car was moving changed. 
That's acceleration, so we know that the forces on it are unbalanced,
at least at the moment of impact. 

A balloon flies across the room when the air is released.
Yes.  The balloon was not moving. But when the little nozzle was
opened, it started to zip around the room.  So its speed changed.
And, as it goes bloozing around the room, its direction keeps changing too. 
There's a whole lot of acceleration going on, so we know the forces on it
are unbalanced.</span>

A 332 kg mako shark is moving in the positive direction at a constant velocity of 2.30 m/s along the bottom of a sea when it enc
Digiron [165]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. By definition we know that the initial moment must be equivalent to the final moment of the two objects therefore

p_1 = p_2

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+ m_2v_2

Here,

m_{1,2} = Mass of each object

u_{1,2} = Initial velocity of each object

v_{1,2}= Final velocity of each object

Since the initial velocity relative to the metal tank is at rest, that velocity will be zero. And considering that in the end, the speed of the two bodies is the same, the equation would become

m_1u_1 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Rearranging to find the velocity,

v_f = \frac{m_1u_1}{ (m_1+m_2)}

Replacing we have that,

v_f = \frac{(332)(2.3)}{ (332+19.5)}

v_f = 2.17 m/s

Therefore the velocity of the shark immediately after it swallows the tank is 2.17m/s
