I'm assuming the question is what is the robin's speed relative to to the ground...

Create an equation that describes its relative motion.

rVg = rVa + aVg


Substitute values.

rVg = 12 m/s [N] + 6.8 m/s [E]


Use vector addition.

| rVg | = √ | rVa |² + | aVg |²

| rVg | = √ 144 m²/s² + 46.24 m²/s²

| rVg | = √ 19<u>0</u>.24 m²/s²

| rVg | = 1<u>3</u>.78 m/s


Find direction.

tanФ = aVg / rVa

tanФ = 6.8 m/s / 12 m/s

Ф = 29°


Therefore, the velocity of the robin relative to the ground is 14 m/s [N29°E]

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

θ( p ) + θ( r ) = 90  

θ (r) = angle of refraction and θ ( p ) is polarising angle.

given θ ( r ) = 31.8

θ ( p ) = 90 - 31.8 = 58.2 degree

ii ) Tanθ ( p ) = n ( refractive index ) = Tan 58.2 = 1.6
