Answer:

0.043°

Explanation:

Snell's law States that the ratio of the angle of incidence to angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media.

n = sin(i)/sin(r)

n1/n2 = sin(i)/sin(r)

For the green polystyrene

n2 = refractive index of green polystyrene = 1.493

n1 = refractive index of air = 1

1/1.493= sin30°/sin(r1)

sin(r1) = sin30°×1.493

sin(r1) = 0.5×1.493

sin(r1) = 0.7465

r1 = sin^-1(0.7465)

r1 = 48.288°

For the yellow polystyrene

n2 = refractive index of yellow polystyrene = 1.492

n1 = refractive index of air = 1

1.492/1= sin30°/sin(r2)

sin(r2) = sin30°×1.492

sin(r2) = 0.5×1.492

sin(r2) = 0.746

r2 = sin^-1(0.746)

r2 = 48.245°

The angle between the colors when they emerge = r1-r2

angle between the colors when they emerge = 48.288°-48.245°

angle between the colors when they emerge = 0.043°

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 2.0 rev/s in 10.0 s. At th
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

22 revolutions

Explanation:

2 rev/s = 2*(2π rad/rev) = 12.57 rad/s

The angular acceleration when it starting

\alpha_a = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{12.57}{10} = 1.257 rad/s^2

The angular acceleration when it stopping:

\alpha_o = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{-12.57}{12} = -1.05 rad/s^2

The angular distance it covers when starting from rest:

\omega^2 - 0^2 = 2\alpha_a\theta_a

\theta_a = \frac{\omega^2}{2\alpha_a} = \frac{12.57^2}{2*1.257} = 62.8 rad

The angular distance it covers when coming to complete stop:

0 - \omega^2 = 2\alpha_o\theta_o

\theta_o = \frac{-\omega^2}{2\alpha_o} = \frac{-12.57^2}{2*(-1.05)} = 75.4 rad

So the total angular distance it covers within 22 s is 62.8 + 75.4 = 138.23 rad or 138.23 / (2π) = 22 revolutions

podryga [215]
<span>What we need to first do is split the ball's velocity into vertical and horizontal components. To do that multiply by the sin or cos depending upon if you're looking for the horizontal or vertical component. If you're uncertain as to which is which, look at the angle in relationship to 45 degrees. If the angle is less than 45 degrees, the larger value will be the horizontal speed, if the angle is greater than 45 degrees, the larger value will be the vertical speed. So let's calculate the velocities sin(35)*18 m/s = 0.573576436 * 18 m/s = 10.32437585 m/s cos(35)*18 m/s = 0.819152044 * 18 m/s = 14.7447368 m/s Since our angle is less than 45 degrees, the higher velocity is our horizontal velocity which is 14.7447368 m/s. To get the x positions for each moment in time, simply multiply the time by the horizontal speed. So 0.50 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 7.372368399 m 1.00 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 14.7447368 m 1.50 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 22.1171052 m 2.00 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 29.48947359 m Rounding the results to 1 decimal place gives 0.50 s = 7.4 m 1.00 s = 14.7 m 1.50 s = 22.1 m 2.00 s = 29.5 m</span>

Triss [41]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

This is the step by step explanation to the above question:

v_i = v [ f_L *(v - v_b) - f_s*(v + v_b)] / [f_L * (v - v_b) + f_s*(v +v_b)]

= v * (83.1 * (v-4.3) - 80.7 ( v+4.3))/ [83.1 *(v - 4.3) + 80.7*(v + 4.3)]

v = 344 m/s

vi = 344 * ( 83.1* (344-4.3) - 80.7*(344+4.3) ) / (83.1 *(344 - 4.3) + 80.7*(344 + 4.3))

= 0.74 m/s

How much current must be applied across a 60 Ω light bulb filament in order for it to consume 55 W of power? Unserious answers w
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: current I = 0.96 Ampere

Explanation:

Given that the

Resistance R = 60 Ω 

Power = 55 W

Power is the product of current and voltage. That is

P = IV ...... (1)

But voltage V = IR. From ohms law.

Substitutes V in equation (1) power is now

P = I^2R

Substitute the above parameters into the formula to get current I

55 = 60 × I^2

Make I^2 the subject of formula

I^2 = 55/60

I^2 = 0.92

I = sqr(0.92)

I = 0.957 A

Therefore, 0.96 A current must be applied.

A soccer player kicks a soccer ball initially at rest setting it in motion at a velocity of 30 m/s. If the ball has a mass of 0.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

 F= 600 N

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocity ,u= 0 m/s

Final velocity ,v= 30 m/s

mass ,m = 0.5 kg

time ,t= 0.025 s

The change in the linear momentum is given as

ΔP= m (v - u)

ΔP= 0.5 ( 30 - 0 ) kg.m/s

ΔP= 15 kg.m/s

We know that from second law of Newtons

F=\dfrac{dP}{dt}

F=\dfrac{\Delta P}{t}

Now by putting the values

F=\dfrac{15}{0.025}\ N

F= 600 N
