An incident light ray strikes water at an angle of 20 degrees. The index of refraction of air is 1.0003, and the index of refrac

tion of water is 1.33. The angle of refraction rounded to the nearest whole number is °.

In order to find the angle of the refracted ray, we may use the Snell's law (also known as Snell–Descartes law and the law of refraction). This law states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is constant for a given wave when it passes through two different media such as water, glass, or air.
 In mathematical form, this is:

n₁sin(∅₁) = n₂sin(∅₂)
Where:n is the refractive index.

Plugging in the values given into the equation:
1.0003 * sin(20°) = 1.33 * sin(∅)
∅ = 14.91
The angle of refraction is 15°.

A snowball with a mass of 85 g hits the top hat of a 1.5 m tall snowman and sticks to it. the hat and the snowball, with a combi
LenaWriter [7]
Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,

Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.

v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s

Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds

Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m

What evidence is there that the Universe began in a big bang?<br><br>​
NeTakaya

Answer: For me personally i have a Biblical faith and first of all there is evidence that looks convincing that the big bang made the universe, but man wants answers and God in the Bible says he created the universe for us it is hard to believe it but i have faith.

if the vapor's volume were to be incorrectly recorded as 125ml, how will this error affect the calculated molar mass of the unkn
diamong [38]
So base on your question that as if the vapors volume were to incorrectly recorded as 125ml, the effect of the error to calculate the molar mass is the same as the error in measuring the volume of the vapor. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more

What happens to light waves from a star as the star moves toward Earth?
Musya8 [376]
This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the blue end of the spectrum. If the star is moving away from us, it’s waves are effectively stretched out when they reach earth, increasing their wavelength. This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum.

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t
enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}

v_{avg} = 5m/s

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}

5 = 9 - v_{wind}

v_{wind}= 4 m/s

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}

v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s

now we can find the time to go back

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

time = \frac{6000}{13}

time = 7.7 minutes

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min

now when there is no wind total time is given by

T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}

T = 22.22 min

So due to wind time will be more
