Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

The first part of the question the car is going in reverse or negative along the x axis. Then the second part the car is moving forward along the x axis. So the car would only have velocity in the current direction of movement. So our equation for velocity is as follows.

v = d/t

v = 10 m/5 s

v = 2 m/s

An incident light ray strikes water at an angle of 20 degrees. The index of refraction of air is 1.0003, and the index of refrac

sammy [17]

In order to determine the angle of the refracted ray, we may apply Snell's law, which states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is constant for a given wave when it passes through two different media. Mathematically, this is:
n₁sin(∅₁) = n₂sin(∅₂)
Where n is the refractive index. Substituting the values given into the equation:
1.0003 * sin(20°) = 1.33 * sin(∅)
∅ = 14.91

The angle of the refracted ray is 15°.

A warehouse worker is pushing a 90.0-kg crate with a horizontal force of 282 N at a speed of v = 0.850 m/s across the warehouse

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$v_{f} = 0.51 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law at the crate :

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data:

m=90kg : crate mass

F= 282 N

μk =0.351 :coefficient of kinetic friction

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Crate weight (W)

W= m*g

W= 90kg*9.8 m/s²

W= 882 N

Friction force : Ff

Ff= μk*N Formula (2)

μk: coefficient of kinetic friction

N : Normal force (N)

Problem development

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay , ay=0

N-W = 0

N = W

N = 882 N

We replace the data in the formula (2)

Ff= μk*N = 0.351* 882 N

Ff= 309.58 N

We apply the formula (1) in x direction:

∑Fx = m*ax , ax=0

282 N - 309.58 N = 90*a

a= (282 N - 309.58 N ) / (90)

a= - 0.306 m/s²

Kinematics of the crate

Because the crate moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula :

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (3)

Where:

d:displacement in meters (m)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 0.850 m/s

d = 0.75 m

a= - 0.306 m/s²

We replace the data in the formula (3)

vf²=(0.850)²+(2)( - 0.306 )(0.75 )

$v_{f} = \sqrt{(0.850)^{2} +(2)( - 0.306 )(0.75 )}$

$v_{f} = 0.51 \frac{m}{s}$

When a cannon is fired, how does the size of the force of the cannon on the cannonball compared with the force of the cannonball

kati45 [8]

The force applied to the cannonball and cannon is equal. The explosion inside the cannon will generate a pressure which will turn into a force on both cannonball and cannon. The cannon being heavier and fixed to the ground will move a bit, but the cannonball will be thrown away, fired.

A cold front moves through and the temperature drops by 20 degrees. in which temperature scale would this 20 degree change repre

nalin [4]

In the Celsius scale each degree is one part of 100 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between boiling and freezing temperatures of water is 100 ° - 0 ° = 100 °, so one degree Celsius is one part of 100.

In the Farenheit scale, each degree is one part of 180 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between the boiling and freezind temperatures are 212 ° - 32 ° = 180°, so one degree Farenheti is one part of 180.

That means that 1 °C is a larger amount than 1 °C, so 20°C is a larger amount than 20°F.

Conclusion: 20 degree change represents a larger change in Celsius scale.
