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 non-moving bike has wheels that aren't spinning and zero angular momentum, which makes it very easy for external torque to change the wheels' direction, making the bike harder to balance. Even when staying relatively motionless, though, a rider can balance a bike with some effort.

At the bottom of a large cylindrical tank filled with fresh water the gauge pressure is 11.6 psi. What is the height (in feet) o
Art [367]

Answer:

8.19m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Pressure, P= 11.6 psi = 79979.185 Pa

Gauge pressure is given as:

P = h*d*g

=> h = P/(d*g)

Where

h = height of tank

d = density

g = acceleration due to gravity

Density of water = 997 kg/m³

Therefore, the height of the tank is:

h = 79979.185/(997 * 9.8)

h = 8.19m

Estimate how fast your hair grows, in units of m/s, assuming it takes 30 days for your hair to grow 1 inch. note that 1 inch =2.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

1) 9.8×10⁻⁹ m/s

2) 50970.3238656 L

Explanation:

1) In 30 days hair grows 1 inch

1 inch = 2.54 cm

1 cm = 0.01 m

2.54 cm = 2.54 × 0.01 m

⇒2.54 cm = 0.0254 m

30 days = 30×24×60×60 = 2592000 seconds

Speed = Distance / Time

\text{Speed}=\frac{0.0254}{2592000}=9.8\times 10^{-9}\ m/s

Speed at which hair grows is 9.8×10⁻⁹ m/s

2) 1 ft = 0.3048 m

0.3048 m = 30.48 cm

1 ft = 30.48 cm

15 ft = 15×30.48 = 457.2 cm

8 ft = 8×30.48 = 243.84 cm

Volume of water in pool = Length × Width × Depth

⇒Volume of water in pool = 457.2×457.2×243.84

⇒Volume of water in pool = 50970323.8656 cm³

or

Volume of water in pool = 15×15×8 = 1800 ft³

1 ft³ = 30.48³ cm³

1800 ft³ = 30.48³ × 1800 = 50970323.8656 cm³

Converting to liters

1 L = 1000 cm³

0.001 L = 1 cm³

50970323.8656 cm³ = 50970323.8656×0.001 = 50970.3238656 L

Volume of water in pool is 50970.3238656 L

A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 5 ft/s. What is its velocity after it has gone 600 ft?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

First, let’s correct the question. Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. Its unit therefore is ft/sec/sec. If S is the distance traveled for a given duration, S = Vot + (1/2)at^2 where Vo is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time. For Vo = 0, a = 6m/sec/sec and t = 3 sec. The distance traveled is S = 0 + (1/2) x 6 x 3^2 = 27 meters
