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)

<span>In this particular case, where car is moving through curvature, so it is moving in circular motion, force acting on car is centripetal force which holds car not to fly out. Centripetal force is always pointed in the middle of circle. Here frictional force has role of centripetal force. If frictional force is to weak, car would fly out of curvutare.</span>

a steam engine works on its vicinity and 285 k heat is released with the help of 225 degree centigrade energy absorbed to the sy
Studentka2010 [4]

The efficiency of the steam engine is 78.9%.

<h3>What is the efficiency of a machine?</h3>

The efficiency of a machine is a measure of the useful work done by the machine as against the work input into the machine.

  • Efficiency of a machine = work output/work input × 100%

Work output of the steam engine = 225 K

Work input of the steam engine = 285 K

The efficiency of the machine = 225/275 × 100% = 78.9%

Therefore, the efficiency of the steam engine is 78.9%.

Olin [163]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

The correct answer is option D

Netnography is a set of research practice which is used in the collection of data, analysis of the data and representation of it. Most of the data is collected by a public conversation recorded by the communication network.

Netnography uses the conversation as collected data.

so, Photos shared on Instagram can be used to track consumption patterns and conversations of online consumers.

Problem 4: a long wire carries current towards east. a positive charge moves westward and just north from the wire. what is the
Alex787 [66]
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)
