PLEASE HELP 50 pts + brainliest. 3. A laser light travels from air (n=1) through water (n=1.33), and then a piece of glass (n=1.

55). The light first enters the water at an angle of 25.0 degrees (from air to water). Draw a diagram. Use Snell’s Law to find the angle of refraction in the water and then in the glass. I don't know how to do this.

Answer: the angle of refraction in the water is 34.2 degrees and then in the glass is 41 degrees approximately

Explanation:

A laser light travels from air (n=1) through water (n=1.33), and then a piece of glass (n=1.55).

If the light first enters the water at an angle of 25.0 degrees (from air to water). That means

The incident angle  = 25 degrees

Using Snell' law

n(air)/n(water) = sin 25/sin R

Where R is the angle of refraction

1/1.33 = sin 25/sin R

Make sin R the subject of formula

Sin R = sin 25 / 0.7518

Sin R = 0.5620

R = sin^-1(0.5620)

R = 34.2 degrees

This angle will be an incident angle when the light is travelling from the water to glass. Using Snell law agains,

1.33/1.55 = sin 34.2/sin R

Cross multiply

1.33 sin R = 0.87122

Make R the subject of formula

Sin R = 0.87122/1.33

Sin R = 0.6550

R = sin^-1(0.6550)

R = 40.9 degrees

Therefore, the angle of refraction in the water is 34.2 degrees and then in the glass is 41 degrees approximately.

A basketball of mass 0.23kg is thrown horizontally against a rigid vertical wall with a velocity of 20m/s. It rebounds with a ve
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

8.1\:\mathrm{Ns}

Explanation:

The impulse-momentum theorem gives the impulse on an object to be equal to the change in momentum of that object. Since mass is maintained, the change in momentum of the basketball is:

\Delta p = m\Delta v, where m is the mass of the basketball and \Delta v is the change in velocity.

Since the basketball is changing direction, its total change in velocity is:

\Delta v = 20-(-15)=35\:\mathrm{m/s}.

Therefore, the basketball's change in momentum is:

\Delta p = m\Delta v = 0.23\cdot 35= 8.05=8.1\:\mathrm{kg\cdot m/s}.

Thus, the impulse on the basketball is \fbox{$8.1\:\mathrm{Ns}$} (two significant figures).

balu736 [363]

Answer:

y = 54.9 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the relationship between the work of the friction force and mechanical energy.

Let's look for work

      W = -fr d

The negative sign is because Lafourcade rubs always opposes the movement

On the inclined part, of Newton's second law

Y Axis  

      N - W cos θ  = 0

The equation for the force of friction is

      fr = μ N

      fr = μ mg cos θ

We replace at work

     W = - μ m g cos θ  d

Mechanical energy in the lower part of the embankment

      Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

The mechanical energy in the highest part, where it stopped

     Em_{f} = U = m g y

     W = ΔEm =  Em_{f} - Em₀

    - μ m g d cos θ = m g y - ½ m v²

Distance d and height (y) are related by trigonometry

     sin θ = y / d

     y = d sin θ

   

    - μ m g d cos θ = m g d sin θ - ½ m v²

We calculate the distance traveled

     d (g syn θ + μ g cos θ) = ½ v²

     d = v²/2 g (sintea + myy cos tee)

     d = 9.8 12.6 2/2 9.8 (sin16 + 0.128 cos 16)

     d = 1555.85 /7.8145

     d = 199.1 m

Let's use trigonometry to find the height

      sin 16 = y / d

      y = d sin 16

      y = 199.1 sin 16

      y = 54.9 m

What happens when a rock is physically or chemically changed?

Weathering the process that breaks down exposed stone and rock causing it to split apart or wear away. Different forces can cause rocks to become weathered physical weathering is caused by purely mechanical changes to the rock while chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions
