Explanation:

For air, n1 = 1.00003; for water, n2 = 1.3330

Given: θ2 = 30 degrees, then

θ1 = arcsin [(n2/n1) sin θ2]

= arcsin [(1.3330/1.0003) sin (40)]

= 58.93 degrees

Note that since, in this example, light is traveling from a medium of higher density (water; n2 = 1.3330) to a medium of lower density (air; n1 = 1.0003), then n2 > n1, and the angle of refraction (θ1) is larger than the angle of incidence (θ2), thus the light bends away from the normal (in this example, the vertical) as it leaves the water and enters the air.

Illusion [34]

We shall convert all of the densities to lbs/gal, so the product of
BTU/lbs and lbs/gal gives us the basis of comparison, which was "ratio of energy to volume".
grams / ml x 1 lbs/454 grams → 1 lbs/ 454 ml
1 lbs/454 ml x 3785.41 ml/gal → 3785.41 lbs/454gal
Conversion of g/ml = 8.34 lbs/gal
Looking at each fuel:

Kerosene:
18,500 x (8.34 x 0.82) = 126,517 BTU/gal

Gasoline:
20,900 x (8.34 x 0.737) = 128,463 BTU/gal

Ethanol:
11,500 x (8.34 x 0.789) = 75,673 BTU/gal

Hydrogen:
61,000 x (8.34 x 0.071) = 36,120 BTU/gal

The best fuel in terms of energy to volume ratio is Gasoline.
Gallons required:
BTU needed / BTU per gallon
= 85.2 x 10⁹ / 128,463
= 6.6 x 10⁵ gallons

Answer:

Question 1: the plates are moving toward one another.

Question 2: The Himalayan Mountains in India

Question 3: Because mountains are formed instead.

Explanation:

The paragraph explains that the plates continue to move closer to one another while forming multiple mountains.

The paragraph explains, " a well-known example of this is the formation of the Himalayan Mountains in India,"

The area of the Himalayan Mountains are better suited for the formation of mountains rather than volcanoes.

Have a nice day!! Good Luck!! Brainliest would be appreciated!!!

A capacitor is charged until it holds 5.0 j of energy. it is then connected across a 10-kω resistor. in 13.6 ms , the resistor d

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The capacite is C=5.32 uF using the equations of voltage and energy in capacitance

Explanation:

The energy holds is 5 J and the resistor dissipates 2J so the energy total is 3J

Using:

$V_{t}= V_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }$

Voltage in this case is the energy dissipated so

$E_{t}= E_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }$

$\frac{\sqrt{E_t} }{\sqrt{E_o} } = e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }$

$\frac{\sqrt{3 J} }{\sqrt{5J} } = e^{\frac{-13.6ms}{10kw*C} }$

Using the equation to find capacitance

$ln 0.775= e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\ln(0.775)= ln * e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3s} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\\\ln(0.775)= {\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\C= \frac{-13.6 x10^{-3} }{10x10x^{3}*ln(0.775) }$

$C= 5.32x10^{-6}$ F

C= 5.32 uF because u is the symbol for micro that is equal to $10^{-6}$

A bar on a hinge starts from rest and rotates with an angular acceleration α = 12 + 5t, where α is in rad/s2 and t is in seconds

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Ф = 239.73 rad

Explanation:

α = 12 + 15×t

W = ∫α×dt

= ∫(12 + 5×t)×dt

= 12×t + 2.5×t^2

then:

Ф = ∫W×dt

= ∫(12×t + 2.5×t^2)dt

= 6×t^2 + 5/6×t^3

therefore the angle at t = 4.88s is:

Ф = 6×(4.88)^2 + 5/6×(4.88)^3

= 239.73 rad
