timama [110]
They are the same. If this is all happening on Earth, then the ball's acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 in either case. That's the acceleration of gravity around here.

A light beam is traveling through an unknown substance. When it exits that substance and enters into air, the angle of reflectio
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

0.79

Explanation:

Using Snell's law, we have that:

n(1) * sin θ1 = n(2) * sinθ2

Where n(1) = refractive index of air = 1.0003

θ1 = angle of incidence

n(2) = refractive index of second substance

θ2 = angle of refraction

The angle of reflection through the unknown substance is the same as the angle of incidence of air. This means that θ1 = 32°

=> 1.0003 * sin32 = n(2) * sin42

n(2) = (1.0003 * sin32) / sin42

n(2) = 0.79

A merry-go-round on a playground consists of a horizontal solid disk with a weight
bezimeni [28]

Answer:α = 1.00 rad/s², τ = 90.0 N•m, KEr = 1.12 kJ

Explanation:

m = 795/9.81 = 81.0 kg

ω₁ = 47.79 rev/min(2π rad/rev) / (60 s/min) = 5.00 rad/s

α = (ω₁ - ω₀)/τ = (5.00 - 0.00)/5.00 = 1.00 rad/s²

I = ½mR² = ½(81.0)(1.49²) = 90.0 kg•m²

τ = Iα = 90.0(1.00) = 90.0 N•m

KEr = ½Iω² = ½(90.0)5.00² = 1,124.477 ≈ 1.12 kJ

Grace pushes her foot against the wall with a force of 35 N while she stands
Airida [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. 0.64 m/s²

Explanation:

According to the Newton's Second law of motion acceleration of an object by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force.

Mathematically,

                           F ∝ a

                           F = ma

Given data:

Force = F = 35 N

Mass = m = 55 kg

acceleration = a = ?

                           F = ma

                           a = F/m

                           a = 35/55

                          a = 0.64 m/s²

What creates the solar wind?
UNO [17]

Answer:

The solar wind is created by the outward expansion of plasma (a collection of charged particles) from the Sun's corona (outermost atmosphere). This plasma is continually heated to the point that the Sun's gravity can't hold it down. It then travels along the Sun's magnetic field lines that extend radially outward.
