Answer:
20 degrees.
Explanation:
From Snell’s law of refraction:
sinθ1•n1 = sinθ2•n2
where θ1 is the incidence angle, θ2 is the refraction angle, n1 is the refraction index of light in medium1, and n2 is the refraction index for virgin olive oil. The incidence angle of the red light is θ1 = 30 degrees.
The red light is in air as medium1, so n1 (air) = 1.00029
So, to find θ2, the refracted angle:
sinθ1•1.00029 = sinθ2•1.464
sin(30)•1.00029 / 1.464 = sinθ2
0.5•1.00029 / 1.464 = sinθ2
sinθ2 = 0.3416291
θ2 = arcsin(0.3416291)
θ2 = 19.976 degrees
To the nearest degree,
θ2 = 20 degrees.
-- pick a planet from the table
-- take it's mass and radius from the table, and plug them into the big ugly formula above the table
-- do the arithmetic with your pencil or your calculator. The answer is the acceleration of gravity on the planet you picked. Write it down so you don't lose it.
-- do the same for the other 3 planets in the table
Answers:
a) 
b) 
Explanation:
a) The centripetal acceleration
of an object moving in a uniform circular motion is given by the following equation:
Where:
is the angular velocity of the ball
is the radius of the circular motion, which is equal to the length of the string
Then:
This is the centripetal acceleration of the ball
b) On the other hand, in this circular motion there is a force (centripetal force
) that is directed towards the center and is equal to the tension (
) in the string:

Where
is the mass of the ball
Hence:

This is the tension in the string
