Answer:
<em>The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>
It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.
The following relation applies:
Where a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time.
The sprinter speeds up from an unknown initial speed to vf=3 m/s in t=2 seconds with an acceleration of .
To find the initial speed, we solve the equation for vo:
Substituting the values:
The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s
Answer:
C ) 1.53
Explanation:
The critical angle of a material is given by the formula
where
c is the critical angle
n is the refractive index
This formula is valid if the second medium is air (which is the case of the problem).
In this problem, we know the critical angle:
Therefore we can rearrange the equation to find the refractive index:
