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°.

What is the critical angle for the interface between water and light flint? nflint= 1.58, nwater=1.33?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
When light crosses the interface between a medium with higher refractive index and a medium with lower refractive index, there is a maximum value of the angle of incidence after which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected, and this maximum value is called critical angle.

The critical angle is given by
\theta_C = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n1 is the refractive index of the first medium while n2 is the refractive index of the second medium. In our problem, n1=1.33 and n2=1.58, so the critical angle is
\theta_C = \arcsin ( \frac{1.33}{1.58} )=57.3 ^{\circ}

A 7.77 kg mass is moving due west at 7.77 m/s. A second mass of 8.88 kg is moving due south at 8.88 m/s. What is the magnitude o
masya89 [10]

Answer:

8.362m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m1= 7.77kg

Velocity v1= 7.77m/s

Mass m2= 8.88kg

Velocity v2= 8.88m/s

Apply the law of conservation of momentum for inelastic collision we have

m1v1+m2v2= (m+m2)V

7.77*7.77+ 8.88*8.88= (7.77+8.88)V

60.3729+78.8544= 16.65V

139.2273= 16.65V

Divide both sides by 16.65

V= 139.2273/16.65

V= 8.362m/s

Hence the final velocity is 8.362m/s

Bill and Nageen have each built an electric motor and they are testing them by having them lift boxes. Bill's motor lifts a box
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Bill's motor power: W_B = F x S / T = F x 0.35 / 2= 0.175F

Nageen's motor power: W_N = F x S / T = F x 0.35 / 1.8 = 0.194F

=> 0.194F > 0.175F => Nageen's motor applied more power to the box than Bill's motor.

There is an old physics joke involving cows, and you will need to use its punchline to solve this problem
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The angle of deflection will be "1.07 × 10⁻⁷°".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of a cow,

m = 1100 kg

Mass of bob,

mb = 1 kg

The total distance between a cow and bob will be,

d = 2 m

Let,

The tension be "t".

The angle with the verticles be "\theta".

Now,

Vertically equating forces

⇒  T\times Cos \theta =mb\times g ...(equation 1)

Horizontally equating forces

⇒  T\times Sin \theta = G\times M\times \frac{mb}{d^2} ...(equation 2)

From equation 1 and equation 2, we get

⇒  tan \thata=\frac{G\times M}{g\times d^2}

O putting the estimated values, will be

⇒  \theta = tan(\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}\times 1100}{9.8\times 2^2} )

⇒  \theta = 1.07\times 10^{-7}^{\circ}
