When the flashlight is in the air and the refracted ray enters the water, how does the angle of refraction compare with the angl

e of incidence?
Physics

tigry1 [53]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The refracted angle will be less than the angle of incidence and the speed of light is slower in the new medium (which is water) and is closer to the normal.

Try remembering this by using FST SFA (Fast Sofa)

                                             Fast -> Slow = Towards the normal

                                             Slow -> Fast = Away from normal

A jet taxiing down the runway receives word that it must return to the gate. The jet is traveling 37.6 m/s when the pilot receiv
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

7 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the jet is traveling 37.6 m/s when the pilot receives the message. 

And it takes the pilot 5.37 s to bring the plane to a halt.

Acceleration of the plane can be calculated by using first equation of motion

V = U - at

Since the plane is going to stop, the final velocity V = zero.

And the acceleration will be negative

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

0 = 37.6 - 5.37a

5.37a = 37.6

Make a the subject of formula

a = 37.6 / 5.37

a = 7.0 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the plane to bring the plane to a halt is 7 m/s^2

A woman exerts a horizontal force of 4 pounds on a box as she pushes it up a ramp that is 10 feet long and inclined at an angle
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Explanation:

given,

Horizontal force = 4 lb

distance of push, d = 10 ft

angle of ramp, θ = 30°

Work done on the box = ?

We know,

W = F.d cos θ

W = 4 x 10 x cos 30°

W = 40 x 0.8660

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Hence, work done on the box is equal to W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Barack is playing basketball in his back yard. He takes a shot 7.0 m from the basket (measured along the ground), shooting at an
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The time of flight of the ball is 1.06 seconds.

Explanation:

Given \Delta x=7\ m

\theta=45 \°

Also, \Delta y=(3.5-2)=1.5\ m

a_x=0\ and\ a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2

Let us say the velocity in the x-direction is v_x and in the y-direction is v_y. And acceleration in the x-direction is a_x and in the y-direction is a_y.

Also, \Delta x\ and\ \Delta y is distance covered in x and y direction respectively. And t is the time taken by the ball to hit the backboard.

We can write v_x=v_0cos(45)\ and\ v_y=v_0sin(45). Where v_0 is velocity of ball.

Now,

\Delta x=v_x\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a_x\times t^2\\ \Delta x=v_x\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0\times t^2\\\Delta x=v_xt

\Delta x=v_0cos(45)\times t\\7=v_0cos(45)\times t\\\\t=\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}

Also,

\Delta y=v_y\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a_y\times t^2\\ 1.5=v_0sin(45)\times \frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}+\frac{1}{2}\times (-9.81)\times(\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)} )^2\\\\1.5=7-\frac{481}{(v_0)^2}\\ \\\frac{481}{(v_0)^2}=5.5\\\\(v_0)^2=\frac{481}{5.5}\\ \\(v_0)^2=87.45\\\\v_0=\sqrt{87.45}=9.35\ m/s.

Plugging this value in

t=\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}\\ \\t=\frac{7}{9.35\times 0.707}\\ \\t=\frac{7}{6.611}

t=1.06\ seconds

So, the time of flight of the ball is 1.06 seconds.

Who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom? Dalton Thomson Rutherford Democritus
Aloiza [94]

Democritus was the one who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom.

Answer: Option 4

<u>Explanation: </u>

The discovery of atoms were first stated by Democritus but due to the absence of any experimental proof, his statement was not noted as significant at that time.

After this, Dalton made the specific assumptions formulating some postulates for the atomic theory with proof. Then the cathode rays tube experiments performed by Thomson lead to the formation of plum pudding models of atom.

This is followed by Rutherford’s gold foil experiment discovering the presence of nucleus inside the atoms. So, Democritus first stated but due to absence of experimental evidences, his theory of atoms were not supported at that time.
