Answer:

Light's angle of refraction = 37.1° (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Index of refraction = 1.02

Base of refraction = 1

Angle of incidence = 38°

Find:

Light's angle of refraction

Computation:

Using Snell's law;

Sin[Angle of incidence] / Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = Index of refraction / Base of refraction

Sin38 / Light's angle of refraction = 1.02 / 1

Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = Sin 38 / 1.02

Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = [0.6156] / 1.02

Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = 0.6035

Light's angle of refraction = 37.1° (Approx.)

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.

A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 2.05 104 m/s. What will its speed be wh
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The value is  v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  initial speed is u =  2.05 *10^{4} \  m/s

 Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as

             T__{E}} =  KE__{i}} +  KE__{e}}

Here  KE_i is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as

          KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  u^2

=>       KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  (2.05 *10^{4})^2

=>       KE_i =  2.101 *10^{8} \ \ m \ \ J

And  KE_e is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as

       KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v_e^2

Here v_e is the escape velocity from earth which has a value v_e =  11.2 *10^{3} \  m/s

=>    KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  (11.3 *10^{3})^2

=>    KE_e =  6.272 *10^{7} \  \  m  \ \   J

Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as

        KE_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

Generally from the law energy conservation we have that

        T__{E}} =  KE_p

So

       2.101 *10^{8}  m  +  6.272 *10^{7}  m  =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

=>     5.4564 *10^{8} =   v^2

=>     v =  \sqrt{5.4564 *10^{8}}

=>     v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

An ant crawls 50 cm to the right, stops, and then crawls 30 cm to the left. Calculate the distance that the ant travels, and cal
borishaifa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be <u>80cm</u>.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is <u>20 cm.</u>

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)

A girl is sitting in a sled sliding horizontally along some snow (there is friction present).
Over [174]

Answer:

159 N

Explanation:

The force of friction, Fr is a product of coefficient of feiction and the normal force. Therefore, Fr=uN where N is the normal force and u is coefficient of friction. Here, we have two coefficients of friction but since it is sliding, then we use coefficient of kinetic energy. Substituting 0.25 for u and 636 N for N then

Fr=0.25*636=159 N

Therefore, the force of friction is equivalent to 159 N
