Answer:

E = 4000 N/C

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 0.080 N.

Charge, q = 20 microcoulomb = 20 * 10^-6 = 2 * 10^-5 Coulombs

To find the electric field strength;

Mathematically, the electric field strength is given by the formula;

Electric field strength = force/charge

Substituting into the formula, we have;

E = 0.080/0.00002

E = 4000 N/C

The critical angle for a substance is measured at 53.7 degrees. light enters from air at 45.0 degrees. at what angle it will con
faust18 [17]
When light travels from a medium with greater refractive index n_1 to a medium with smaller refractive index n_2, there exists an angle (called critical angle) above which the light is totally reflected, and the value of this angle is given by
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
In this problem, we know that the critical angle is\theta_c = 53.7^{\circ}, so we can find the ratio between the refractive indices of the two mediums:
\frac{n_2}{n_1} = \sin \theta_c = \sin 53.7^{\circ} =0.81
and since the second medium is air (n=1.00), the refractive index of the first medium is
n_1=  \frac{n_2}{0.81}= \frac{1.00}{0.81}=1.23

In the second part of the problem, we have light entering from air (n_i = 1.00) at angle of incidence of \theta_i = 45.0 ^{\circ}, into the second medium with n_r = 1.23. By using Snell's law, we can find the angle of refraction of the light inside the medium:
n_i \sin \theta_i = n_r \sin \theta_r
\sin \theta_r =  \frac{n_i}{n_r}  \sin \theta_i = \frac{1.00}{1.23} \sin 45^{\circ}=0.574
\theta_r = \arcsin(0.574)=35.1^{\circ}

Suppose that a car traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Make a statement c
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The car is decelerating and its acceleration is negative.

Explanation:

First thing to consider. The car traveling direction is not important to answer the question.

Second, there are two affirmations on each sentence. So, lets take definitions:

Deceleration: Reducing the acceleration, from one value to another. No matter if the acceleration for the moment is positive or negative.

Acceleration negative: the driver is applying a force to make speed=0, the sign of this force must negative in order for the car to stop, other way it will go faster. Acceleration is the change rate of speed, if the speed is going down, the total acceleration until cars stops must be negative.

Momentum question. This is an inelastic collision, so 

m1v1+m2v2=Vf(m1+m2)
Vf=(m1v1+m2v2)/(m1+m2)=[(120kg)(0m/s)+(60kg)(2m/s)] / (120kg+60kg)
Vf=120kg m/s  /   180kg
