An underwater scuba diver sees the Sun at an apparent angle of 43.0° above the horizontal. What is the actual elevation angle of

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The actual elevation angle is 12.87 degrees

Explanation:

In the attachment you can clearly see the situation. The angle of elevation as seen for the scuba diver is shown in magenta, we conclude that $\theta_2=90-43=47$ .

Using Snell's Law we can write:

$n_1\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)$

$\implies \sin(\theta_1)=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\sin(\theta_2)$ ,

Let's approximate the index of refraction of the air (medium 1 in the picture) to 1.

We thus have:

$\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)=1.333\sin(47)$

$\implies\theta_1=\arcsin[n_2\sin(\theta_2)]=\arcsin[1.333\sin(47)]\approx 77.13$ . Calling $\alpha$ the actual angle of elevation, we get from the picture that $\alpha=90-77.13=12.97$

A 22.0 kg child slides down a slide that makes a 37.0° angle with the horizontal. (a) What is the magnitude of the normal force

patriot [66]

Answer:

(a) 172.185 N

(b) $53^{\circ}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the child, m = 22.0 kg

Angle, $\theta = 37.0^{\circ}$

Now,

(a) The magnitude of the normal force exerted by the slide on the child:

$F_{N} = mgcos\theta$

$F_{N} = 22\times 9.8cos37^{\circ} = 172.185\ N$

Now,

(b) The angle from the horizontal at which the force is directed is:

$90^{\circ} - 37^{\circ} = 53^{\circ}$

Scientists are making plans to put a probe in orbit around Earth. They want the probe to enter the orbit shown below.

iris [78.8K]

An arrow which shows the direction that the probe should be moving in order for it to enter the orbit is X.

<h3>What is an orbit?</h3>

An orbit can be defined as the curved path through which a astronomical (celestial) object such as planet Earth, in space move around a Moon, Sun, planet or star.

In this scenario, if the scientists want the probe to enter the orbit they should ensure that probe moves in direction X. This ultimately implies that, the probe must move in the same direction as the orbit, in order to enter it.
