Answer:
The speed of light changes as it moves between media. This causes refraction. Angles of refraction can be calculated using known speeds or wavelengths. Beyond the critical angle, light is reflected.
The neutrophil are a tipe of white blood cells. Those are the first to migrate to the site of the infection to kill the invaders.
1. Find the force of friction between the sports car and the station wagon stuck together and the road. The total mass m = 1928kg + 1041kg = 2969kg. The only force in the x-direction is friction: F = μ*N = μ * m * g
2. Find the acceleration due to friction:
F = m*a = μ * m * g => a = μ * g = 0.6 * 9.81
3. Find the time it took the two cars stuck together to slide 12m:
x = 0.5*a*t²
t = sqrt(2*x / a) = sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) )
4. Find the initial velocity of the two cars:
v = a*t = μ * g * sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) ) = sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g)
5. Use the initial velocity of the two cars combined to find the velocity of the sports car. Momentum must be conserved:
m₁ mass of sports car
v₁ velocity of sports car before the crash
m₂ mass of station wagon
v₂ velocity of station wagon before the crash = 0
v velocity after the crash
m₁*v₁ + m₂*v₂ = (m₁+m₂) * v = m₁*v₁
v₁ = (m₁+m₂) * v / m₁ = (m₁+m₂) * sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g) / m₁
v₁ = 33.9 m/s
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
If the full 15N is pointing parallel to the ground,
then
15 N = (58 kg) x (acceleration).
Divide each side
by 58 kg: Acceleration = 15 N / 58 kg
= (15 kg-m/s²) / (58 kg)
= (15/58) (kg-m/kg-s²)
= 0.26 m/s² .
