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.

Explanation:

Hope this helps.

A skater with a mass of 72 kg is traveling east at 5.8 m/s when he collides with another skater of mass 45 kg heading 60° south

Akimi4 [234]

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

mass, $m_{1}$ = 72 kg

speed, $v_{1}$ = 5.8 m/s

$Mass_{2}$ , $m_{2}$ = 45 kg

$speed_{2}$ , $v_{2}$ = 12 m/s

Θ = 60°

Final velocity, v = ?

Applying the conservation of momentum:

$m_{1}$ X $v_{1}$ + $m_{2}$ X $v_{2}$ = ( $m_{1}$ + $m_{2}$ ) v

72 X 5.8 + 45 X 12 X cos 60° = (72 + 45) v

v = 417.6 + 540 X $\frac{0.5}{117}$

v = 417.6 + $\frac{270}{117}$

v = 5.87 m/s

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

An electron with a speed of 0.95c is emitted by a supernova, where cc is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the moment

krok68 [10]

Answer:

2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Momentum =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the electron. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of Light (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of electron = 0.95 × 3×10⁸

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mometum of the electron.

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Thus, with the above formula, we calculate the momentum of the electron as follow:

Mass of electron = 9.1×10¯³¹ Kg

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Momentum of electron =?

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Momentum = 9.1×10¯³¹ × 2.85×10⁸

Momentum = 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the electron is 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

A toy plane is flying in a horizontal circle by being attached to a 0.75 meter string. The plane has a mass of 101.7 grams and m

nadezda [96]

Answer:

F = 2,894 N

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

a = v² / r

Angular and linear variables are related.

v = w r

Let's replace

F = m w² r

The radius r and the length of the rope is related

cos is = r / L

r = L cos tea

Let's replace

F = m w² L cos θ

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

m = 101.7 g (1 kg / 1000g) = 0.1017 kg

θ = 5 rev (2π rad / rev) = 31,416 rad

w = θ / t

w = 31.416 / 5.1

w = 6.16 rad / s

F = 0.1017 6.16² 0.75 cos θ

F = 2,894 cos θ

The maximum value of F is for θ equal to zero

F = 2,894 N

Raindrops fall vertically at 7.5 m/s relative to the Earth. What does an observer in a car moving at 20.2 m/s in a straight line

Vilka [71]

Answer:

vDP = 21.7454 m/s

θ = 200.3693°

Explanation:

Given

vDE = 7.5 m/s

vPE = 20.2 m/s

Required: vDP

Assume that

vDE to be in direction of - j

vPE to be in direction of i

According to relative motion concept the velocity vDP is given by

vDP = vDE - vPE (I)

Substitute in (I) to get that

vDP = - 7.5 j - 20.2 i

The magnitude of vDP is given by

vDP = √((- 7.5)²+(- 20.2)²) m/s = 21.7454 m/s

θ = Arctan (- 7.5/- 20.2) = 20.3693°

θ is in 3rd quadrant so add 180°

θ = 20.3693° + 180° = 200.3693°
