Answer:

80 N

Explanation:

mass (m) = 20kg

acceleration (a) = 4m/s^2

Force (F) = ?

.°. F = ma

= 20 × 4 = 80

.°. F = 80 N

Thus, The Force is needed to accelerate a 20 kg mass at a rate of 4 m/s^2 is 80 N

What does a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse have in common

liraira [26]

During either one, the sun, moon, and Earth are lined up in the same straight line. The difference is whether the moon or the Earth is the one in the "middle".

Investigate the action of a more-massive attacking object striking a less-massive target object. what happens to the more-massiv

garri49 [273]

More massive attacking objects speed slows down and it transfer its some kinetic energy to less massive target objects whereas less massive target objects starts its motion

Answer:

$\theta_{max} =18.38^o$

New $n_{cladding} =1.491$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The refractive index of the core is $n_{core} = 1.497$

The refractive index of the cladding is $n_{cladding} = 1.421$

Generally according to Snell's law

$n_{core} * sin(90- \theta) = n_{cladding} * sin (90)$

Where $\theta_{max}$ is the largest angle a largest angle a ray will make with respect to the interface of the fiber and experience total internal reflection

$\theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{n_{cladding}}{n_{core}} ]$

$\theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{1.421}{1.497}} ]$

$\theta_{max} =18.38^o$

Given from the question the the largest angle is 5°

Generally the refraction index of the cladding is mathematically represented as

$n_{cladding} = n_{core} * sin (90 - 5)$

$n_{cladding} =1.491$
