Answer:

the car would arrive after 10 hr to Austin.

Explanation:

bus average from amarllo to austin = 60 miles per hour

time takne by bus to reach austin = 8 hr

automobile average from amarllo to austin = 60 miles per hour

from the information given in the question:

60 mph --- 8 h

48 mph --- x h

By using The inverse variation:

60 : 48 = x : 8

60* 8 = 48* x

480 = 48*x

x = 480/48

x = 10 h

the car would arrive after 10 hr to Austin.

(II) How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 46.0-kg crate 10.3 m across a rough floor without acceleration, if

Gwar [14]

Answer:

2324 J

Explanation:

The formula for work is:

$W=F*d$

where $F$ is the force applied, and $d$ is the distance moved, in this case $d=10.3m$

and we need to find $F.$

Since the crate is not moving up or down, we conclude that the <u>normal force must be equal to the weight </u>of the object:

$N=w$

where $N$ is the normal force and $w$ is the weight, which is: $w=mg$ , where g is the gravitational acceleration $g=9,81m/s^2$ and $m$ is the mass $m=46kg$ .

---------

Thus the normal force is:

$N=mg$

Now, the force due to the friction is defined as:

$f=\mu N=\mu mg$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction, $\mu =0.5$

So, for the crate to move, the force applied must be equal to the frictional force:

$F=f\\F=\mu mg$

And now that we know the force we can calculate the work:

$W=F*d\\W=\mu mg*d$

substituting known values:

$W=(0.5)(46kg)(9.81m/s^2)(10.3)\\W=2324J$

The index of refraction for red light in water is 1.331 and that for blue light is 1.340. If a ray of white light enters the wat

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Angle of refraction for red light is $43.01^{\circ}$

Angle of refraction for blue light is $42.68^{\circ}$

Explanation:

It is given refractive index for red light is $\mu _{red}=1.331$

Refractive index of blue light $\mu _{blue}=1.340$

Angle of incidence $i=65.30^{\circ}$

According to law of refraction $\mu =\frac{sini}{sinr}$

For red light $1.331 =\frac{sin65.30^{\circ}}{sinr}$

$1.331 =\frac{0.908}{sinr}$

$sinr=0.682$

$r=43.01^{\circ}$

Therefore angle of refraction for red light is $43.01^{\circ}$

Similarly for blue light $1.340 =\frac{sin65.30^{\circ}}{sinr}$

$1.340 =\frac{0.908}{sinr}$

$sinr=0.677$

r = $42.68^{\circ}$

Therefore angle of refraction for blue light is $42.68^{\circ}$

The food calorie, equal to 4186 J, is a measure of how much energy is released when food is metabolized by the body. A certain b

rewona [7]

Answer:

The hiker has to climb 941.26 to ''work off'' the calories.

Explanation:

Let's first find out how much energy the hiker gets from 150 food calories.

This is:

Energy = 150 * 4186

Energy = 627.9 kJ

To burn all of this off, we set it equal to the gravitational potential energy, and then solve for the height.

This is:

Gravitational Potential Energy (G.P.E) = 629700

G.P.E = mass * gravity * height

Thus,

mass * gravity * height = 629700

68 * 9.81 * height = 629700

height = 941.26 meters
