Answer:

Refractive motion is the impact of a light wave that travels from medium to medium in an angle away from normal, where the direction of light varies. Light is refracted when it crosses the air-to-glass interface and moves slower.

lianna [129]

Hi! Let me help you!
a = (Vf - Vi)/t ; where distance d = [2(t)]/(4+t), t = 5secs, and Vi = 0
a = [(2t)/(4+t)]/t <---- working equation
a = {[2(5)]/9}/5 <---- cancel 5
a = 2/9 ft/s^2 <---- Answer

11. A vector M is 15.0 cm long and makes an angle of 20° CCW from x axis and another vector N is 8.0 cm long and makes an angle

Alja [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant vector is 22.66 cm and it has a direction of 29.33°

Explanation:

To find the resultant vector, you first calculate x and y components of the two vectors M and N. The components of the vectors are calculated by using cos and sin function.

For M vector you obtain:

$M=M_x\hat{i}+M_y\hat{j}\\\\M=15.0cm\ cos(20\°)\hat{i}+15.0cm\ sin(20\°)\hat{j}\\\\M=14.09cm\ \hat{i}+5.13\ \hat{j}$

For N vector:

$N=N_x\hat{i}+N_y\hat{j}\\\\N=8.0cm\ cos(40\°)\hat{i}+8.0cm\ sin(40\°)\hat{j}\\\\N=6.12cm\ \hat{i}+5.142\ \hat{j}$

The resultant vector is the sum of the components of M and N:

$F=(M_x+N_x)\hat{i}+(M_y+N_y)\hat{j}\\\\F=(14.09+6.12)cm\ \hat{i}+(5.13+5.142)cm\ \hat{j}\\\\F=20.21cm\ \hat{i}+10.27cm\ \hat{j}$

The magnitude of the resultant vector is:

$|F|=\sqrt{(20.21)^2+(10.27)^2}cm=22.66cm$

And the direction of the vector is:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{10.27}{20.21})=29.93\°$

hence, the magnitude of the resultant vector is 22.66 cm and it has a direction of 29.33°

A car starts from the state of xestIf its velocity becomes 70 km/hr in 6 minutes, i) what is the accordine acceleration of F the

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: $3.5\ km$

Explanation:

Given

Car starts from the state of rest and acquires a velocity of $70\ km/hr$ in 6 minutes

Final velocity in m/s is $v=70\approx 19.44\ m/s$

Using equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 19.44=0+a(6\times 60)\\\Rightarrow a=0.054\ m/s^2$

Distance covered in 360 s

$\Rightarrow v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 19.44^2-0=2\times 0.054\times s\\\Rightarrow s=3500.64\ m\approx 3.5\ km$

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

No..

Explanation:

As the bird releases the drop there is no internal force which will drive it into circular path but it will fall on tangent of the arc at the point of release because it has a tangential velocity same as bird. Path will be parabola in vertical plane.

As the person is on circular arc constantly moving it will never meet that drop.
