wouldn't they be dead and there's no oxygen in space....right???

Answer:

no gravity and no oxygen

Explanation:

the bird would die of lack of oxygen before they're even able to fly, but they can't fly anyway because there's no gravity so they'd just float

A beam of light in air is incident at an angle of 30º to the surface of a rectangular block of clear plastic (n = 1.46). The lig

Aneli [31]

Answer:

θ = 30°

Explanation:

Firts, the angle when the beam of light passes through the block cam be calculated using Snell Law:

$n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theeta_{2})$

<u>Where</u>:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the incident medium (air) = 1

θ₁: is the incident angle = 30°

n₂: is the medium 2 (plastic) = 1.46

θ₂: is the transmission angle

Hence, θ₂ is:

$sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}*sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1*sin(30)}{1.46} = 0.34 \rightarrow \theta_{2} = 20.03 ^{\circ}$

Now, when the beam of light re-emerges from the opposite side, we have:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the incident medium (plastic) = 1.46

θ₁: is the incident angle = 20.03°

n₂: is the medium 2 (air) = 1

θ₂: is the transmission angle

Hence, the angle to the normal to that surface (θ₂) is:

$sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}*sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1.46*sin(20.03)}{1} = 0.50 \rightarrow \theta_{2} = 30 ^{\circ}$

Therefore, we have that the beam of light will come out at the same angle of when it went in, since, it goes from air and enters to a plastic medium and then enters again in this medium to go out to air again. This was proved using the Snell Law.

I hope it helps you!

A 7.25 kg7.25 kg block is sent up a ramp inclined at an angle ????=28.5°θ=28.5° from the horizontal. It is given an initial velo

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

15.03 m

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the block, m = 7.25 kg

Angle, Θ = 28.5°

Initial speed of the block, v₀ = 15 m/s

let the distance traveled by the block be 's'

Now, applying the work energy theorem,

we have

$(m\times g\times\sin(\theta)\times s) + \mu_k\times mg\times s\times cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{2}\times m\times v^2$

on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

$(7.25\times 9.8\times\sin(28.5^o)\times s) + 0.326\times 7.25\times9.8\times s\times cos(28.5^o) = \frac{1}{2}\times 7.25\times 15^2$

$33.902\times s) +20.35\times s = 815.625$

$54.252\times s = 815.625$

s = 15.03 m

Hence, the block will travel 15.03 m up the ramp

A object of mass 3.00 kg is subject to a force Fx that varies with position as in the figure below. A coordinate plane has a hor

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

An impulse results in a change of momentum.

The impulse is the product of a force and a distance. This will be represented by the area under the curve

a) W = ½(4.00)(3.00) = 6.00 J

b) W = (11.0 - 4.00)(3.00) = 21.0 J

c) W = ½(17.0 - 11.0)(3.00) = 9.00 J

d) ASSUMING the speed at x = 0 is in the direction of applied force

½(3.00)(v₄²) = ½(3.00)(0.450²) + 6.00

v₄ = 2.05 m/s

½(3.00)(v₁₇²) = ½(3.00)(0.450²) + 6.00 + 21.0 + 9.00

v₁₇ = 4.92 m/s

If the initial speed is NOT in the direction of applied force, the final speed will be slightly less in both cases.

A theme park creates a new kind of water wave pool with large waves caused by constructive interference. There are two wave gene

melomori [17]

Answer:

10.0 m

Explanation:

Since there is no amplitude at the point of the swimmer, we have destructive interference.

So, the path difference ΔL = L₂ - L₁ where L₁ = swimmer's shorter distance from one generator = 9.0 m and L₂ = swimmer's longer distance from the other generator = 14.0 m. ΔL = 14.0 m - 9.0 m = 5.0 m

Also, since we have destructive interference, ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ where n = number of wavelengths and λ = wavelength of waves

For maximum wavelength, n = 0

So, ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ

ΔL = (0 + 1/2)λ

ΔL = λ/2

λ/2 = ΔL

λ = 2ΔL

λ = 2 × 5.0 m

λ = 10.0 m

So, the longest wavelength that will produce this interference pattern is λ = 10.0 m

The formula v = √ 2.3 r models the maximum safe speed, v , in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with ra

Archy [21]

Answer:

562 miles per hour.

Explanation:

As given in the question, the formula for the maximum speed on a curved road is

$v=\sqrt{2.3}$ $r$

Given value of $r=370$ feet

So the maximum safe speed will be

$v=\sqrt{2.3} \times 370 = 1.52\times 370 = 562.4$ miles per hour.

Rounding off to the nearest whole number we get the maximum safe speed at the curved road is 562 miles per hour.
