Answer:

θ₁ = cos⁻¹ (n₁ / 2n₂)

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the law of refraction

       n₁ sint θ₁ = n₂. sin θ₂

Where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices for the two media, θ₁ and θ₂, the angles of incidence and refraction

They tell us that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle refracted over 2

    θ₁ = θ₂ / 2

    θ₂ = 2 θ₁

Let's replace

    n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

    sin 2θ = 2 sinθ cos θ

    n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ (2 sin θ₁ cos θ₁)

    n₁ = n₂ cos θ₁

    cos θ₁ = n₁ / 2 n₂

    θ₁ = cos⁻¹ (n₁ / 2n₂)

Therefore, the angle of incidence is

   θ₁ = cos⁻¹ (n₁ / 2n₂)

Helga [31]
First convert grams to kilograms (so that the answer will be N) 1000g=1kg so 2.9g=.0029kg.

To solve for force we use the equation F=ma, so we need to find acceleration (a) .Next use the equation a=Δv/Δt. Δt is given as being .00043 seconds. Δv is the difference in velocities - final minus initial (this is important to discern the direction of the force vector); 0-304=-304. Now plugin and solve for a. The result is -706976.7442 m/s², or -710000 m/s² if you are using significant figures. 

Now use the values for mass and acceleration to solve for force. F=ma=-2050.232558N or F=- 2100N (if you are using significant figures).

aev [14]

Answer:

A) G = m³/kg.s²

B) E = kg.m²/s²

Explanation:

A)

The given relation is:

F = Gm₁m₂/r²

where, the units of all variables are:

F = Force = kg.m/s²

m₁ = m₂ = mass = kg

r = distance = m

G = Gravitational Constant = ?

Therefore,

kg.m/s² = G(kg)(kg)/m²

(kg.m/s²)(m²/kg²) = G

<u>G = m³/kg.s²</u>

<u></u>

B)

The given equation is:

E = mc²

where, the units of all variables are:

m = mass = kg

c = speed = m/s

E = Energy = ?

Therefore,

E = (kg)(m/s)²

<u>E = kg.m²/s²</u>

This is the correct answer, which is not present in any option.

What is the outcome of the Training and Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW)?
balandron [24]

Answer / Explanation:

The result of the Training and Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW) is to set the foundation for the strategy and pattern for a proposed exercise program. The TEPW purpose is to engage elected and selected officials in identifying exercise program priorities and planning a schedule of training and exercise events to meet those priorities.

An essential factor for the exercise management process is to create a collaborative environment where a whole community stakeholders can engage in a forum to discuss and coordinate training and exercise activities across local organizations to maximize the use of available resources and prevent duplication of effort.
