Answer:

53.06°

Explanation:

refractive index of air = 1

refractive index of water, n = 1.33

Let the angle of polarisation is ip.

Use Brewster's law,

n = tan ip

1.33 = tan ip

ip = 53.06°

thus, the angle of polarisation is  53.06°.

A car is traveling at a constant speed of 33 m/s on a highway. At the instant this car passes an entrance ramp, a second car ent
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

0.8712 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Velocity of first car; v1 = 33 m/s

Distance; d = 2.5 km = 2500 m

Acceleration of first car; a1 = 0 m/s² (constant acceleration)

Velocity of second car; v2 = 0 m/s (since the second car starts from rest)

From Newton's equation of motion, we know that;

d = ut + ½at²

Thus,for first car, we have;

d = v1•t + ½(a1)t²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

d = 33t + 0

d = 33t

For second car, we have;

d = v2•t + ½(a2)•t²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

d = 0 + ½(a2)t²

d = ½(a2)t²

Since they meet at the next exit, then;

33t = ½(a2)t²

simplifying to get;

33 = ½(a2)t

Now, we also know that;

t = distance/speed = d/v1 = 2500/33

Thus;

33 = ½ × (a2) × (2500/33)

Rearranging, we have;

a2 = (33 × 33 × 2)/2500

a2 = 0.8712 m/s²

a rocket, initially at rest, is fired vertically with a net upward acceleration of 12 m/s2 . at an altitude of 0.50 km, the engi
kobusy [5.1K]

The rocket travelled a maximum height at 1.0102 km.

Given,

The acceleration of a rocket (a) = 12 m/s²

The altitude of the rocket (s) =  0.50 km = 0.5×10³m

The maximum height of the rocket (h) = ?

Solution,

A rocket is a spacecraft, aircraft, vehicle or projectile that obtains thrust from a rocket engine.

The rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time is known as acceleration. It is denoted by (a).i.e. unit is m/s²

(a) = Δv/Δt

Where , Δv is change in velocity and Δt is change in time.

The rate of change in position with respect to time is known as velocity. i.e. Its unit is m/s.

(v)= Δx/Δt

Where,Δx is the change in position and Δt is change in time & v is velocity.

Therefore we know the equation of motion is written as,

v² = u² +2as

Where, v  is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and s is altitude of the rocket.

Then putting the value ,

v² = 0 + ( 2× 10 × 0.5×10³)m/s

v² = \sqrt{10000} m/s

v = 100 m/s

Therefore, at altitude of 0.50 km the initial velocity of rocket (u) will be 100 m/s, final velocity v become zero and under free falling the acceleration will be taken (-g) then equation of motion can be given as ,

v² = u² - 2(g)h

h = (v²- u² ) / 2g

h = 10,000/2×9.8

h = 510.2 m

So that the rocket travelled the maximum height ,

(h)= (0.5 km + 510.2m)

(h) = 1.0102 km

Hence, the rocket travelled at the maximum height h is 1.0102 km

After a nucleus undergoes radioactive decay, its new mass number is:
Ivanshal [37]
Radioactive "decay" means particles and stuff shoot OUT of a nucleus.
After that happens, there's less stuff in the nucleus than there was before.
So the new mass number is always less than the original mass number.

White raven [17]

Answer:

(a) -472.305  J

(b) 1 m

Explanation:

(a)

Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is given by0.5mv^{2}

Initial kinetic energy is 0.5\times 69\times 3.7^{2}=472.305 J

Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero

Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence

0-472.305  J=-472.305  J

(b)

From fundamental kinematic equation

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance

Making s the subject we obtain

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2a} but a=\mu g hence

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2\mu g}=\frac {0^{2}-3.7^{2}}{-2*0.7*9.81}=0.996796272\approx 1 m
