Answer:

θ₂ = 40.5º

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where index 1 is for the incident ray and index 2 is for the refracted ray

in this case the incident ray has an angle of θ₁ = 60º and the refractive index of the water is

          n₂ = 1,333

        sin θ₂ = \frac{n_1}{n_2} \   sin \theta_1

let's calculate

        sin  θ₂ = 1 / 1.3333 sin 60

        sin θ₂ = 0.64968

        θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (0.64968)

        θ₂ = 40.5º

Vilka [71]
Normal Force = 54 N
acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

For Normal Force:
According to the force diagram, we can come up with the equation (all up and down forces):

10 sin 30 + Normal Force - 58.8 = 0
Normal Force = 53.8 N = 54 N

For acceleration:
According to the force diagram, we can come up with the equation (all left and right forces):

10 cos 30 - 1.5 = (6.0) (Acceleration)
Acceleration = 1.19 m/s^2 = 1.2 m/s^2

Which object has a varying speed? a bird flying at 10 m/s for 10 seconds a car slowing from 60 m/s to 0 m/s a car traveling the
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

The car slowing from 60 m/s to 0 m/s

Explanation:

The bird flying at 10m/s for 10 seconds will have the same speed for those 10 seconds. So we can say it doesn't have a varying speed (During those 10 seconds, we don't have any information about what happens later).

The fish moving at 2m/s for 5 minutes will have the same speed for those 5 minutes. So we can say it doesn't have a varying speed (During those 5 minutes, we don't have any information about what happens later).

The car traveling the speed limit, we know that his speed is the speed limit. It doesn't change.

The car slowing from 60 m/s to 0 m/s needs to change his speed in order to go from 60 m/s to 0 m/s. The speed will decrease progressively until the car completely stops.

An acrobatic airplane performs a loop at an airshow. The centripetal acceleration the plane experiences is 14.7 m/s2.  If it tak
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

754.8 m

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where v is the speed of the airplane and r is the radius of the loop.

We can rewrite the speed of the airplane as the ratio between the length of the circumference (2 \pi r) and the time taken:

v=\frac{2 \pi r}{t}

Substituting in the formula of the acceleration, we have

a=\frac{(2 \pi)^2 r^2}{t^2 r}=\frac{(2 \pi)^2 r}{t^2}

Re-arranging the formula and putting the numbers of the problem into it, we can find the radius of the loop, r:

r=\frac{at^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=\frac{(14.7 m/s^2)(45.0 s)^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=754.8 m

A _______ is a repeating disturbance or vibration that transfers or moves energy from place to place without transporting mass.
Harman [31]

Answer: wave

Explanation:

These are the basic definitions and characteristic of the terms given, which show tha the only rigth answer is the second option: wave.

1) Force is an interaction. There are four natural forces: electrostatic, gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

2) Wave: is a sequence of pulses or vibrations that cause the continuous transportation of energy (propagation). There is not transport of mass, only energy.

Some examples of waves are sound waves, electromagnetic waves (light, radio waves, micro waves, infrarred waves, ultraviolet waves).

3) Vacuum: is the absence of matter; empty space. Only electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum; other waves need a medium to travel.

4) Medium: any matter is a medium: a solid, the air, a liquid, all of them are media through which waves can transport its energy, depending of the wavelength.

A total Δν of 15 km/s is required to achieve an interplanetary mission. The proposed rocket has two stages. The first stage alon
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

102000 kg

Explanation:

Given:

A total Δν = 15 km/s

first stage mass = 1000 tonnes

specific impulse of liquid rocket =  300 s

Mass flow rate of liquid fuel = 1500 kg/s

specific impulse of solid fuel = 250 s

Mass flow of solid fuel = 200 kg/s

First stage burn time = 1 minute = 1 × 60 seconds = 60 seconds

Now,

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

or

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = 1500 × 60 = 90000 kg

Also,

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

or

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = 200 × 60 = 12000 kg

Therefore,

The total jettisoned mass flow of the fuel in first stage

= 90000 kg +  12000 kg

= 102000 kg
