Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A skydiver falls toward the ground at a constant velocity. Which statement best applies Newton’s laws of motion to explain the s

Tema [17]

Answer:

The answer is (a.) An upward force balances the downward force gravity on the skydiver

The skydiver is falling at a constant velocity because the upward force is balancing the downward force of gravity. According to Newton, the opposite force balance each other. This is stated in Newton's second law of motion.

Drinking water helps your body maintain

8090 [49]

Drinking water helps maintain nearly all processes of the human body and <em>homeostasis. </em>Further, drinking water helps,

Digestion
Absorption
Circulation
Saliva and mucus production
Thermoregulation/homeostasis
Lubrication of joints
Boosts integumentary health.
Helps in excretory systems
Prevents dehydration of cells
Reduces chance of hangover from alcoholic drinks.
etc,

Succinctly, it is VERY important to drink water! Water is the source of human life and without water, we cannot survive.

A ray of light traveling in air is incident on the surface of a block of clear ice (of index 1.309) at an angle of 25.5 ◦ with t

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: $135.29\º$

The figure attached will be helpful to understand the solution.

Here we see two cases, reflection and refraction of light.

According to the laws of reflection:

1. The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal are in the same plane.

2. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

<u>*Note the normal is perpendicular to the plane, with a $90\º$ angle with the surface</u>

And this can be visualized in the figure, where the angle ${\theta}_{1}$ with which the incident ray hits the surface is equal to the angle with which this same ray is reflected.

On the other hand we have Refraction, a phenomenon in which the light bends or changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.

In this context, the Refractive index is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material.

According to Snell’s Law:

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

Where:

$n_{1}=1$ is the first medium refractive index (the air)

$n_{2}=1.309$ is the second medium refractive index (the ice)

$\theta_{1}=25.5\º$ is the angle of the incident ray

$\theta_{2}$ is the angle of the refracted ray

Now, firstly we have to find $\theta_{2}$ and then, by geometry, find $\alpha$ and $\beta$ which sum the <u>angle between the reflected and the refracted light</u>.
