Explanation:

Snell's law (also known as Snell–Descartes law and the law of refraction) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as water, glass, or air.

Answer:

Snell's law of refraction also known as the second law of refraction which states:

The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant or given pair of Media .

A 20 kg wagon is rolling to the right across a floor. A person attempts to catch and stop the crate and applies a force of 70 N,

Serggg [28]

Answer:

1.736m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

$\sum F_x = ma_x\\$

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\$ where;

Fm is the moving force = 70.0N

Ff is the frictional force acting on the body

$Ff = \mu R\\Ff = \mu mg\\$

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration/deceleration

The equation becomes;

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma\\$

Substitute the given parameters

$Fm - \mu mg = ma\\70 - 0.18(20)(9.8) = 20a\\70-35.28 = 20a\\34.72 = 20a\\a = \frac{34.72}{20}\\a = 1.736m/s^2\\$

Hence the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught is 1.736m/s²

if you push your chair across the floor at a constant velocity how does the force of friction compare with the force you exert?

Alik [6]

-- If velocity is constant, then there is no net force
on the chair.

-- If there is no net force on the chair, then friction
must exactly balance out your push.

-- The force of friction is exactly equal in magnitude
to your push, and in exactly the opposite direction.

An airplane is moving at 350 km/hr. If a bomb is

bogdanovich [222]

Answers:

a) -171.402 m/s

b) 17.49 s

c) 1700.99 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

$x=V_{ox}t$ (2)

$V_{f}=V_{oy}-gt$ (3)

Where:

$y=0 m$ is the bomb's final height

$y_{o}=1.5 km \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=1500 m$ is the bomb's initial height

$V_{oy}=0 m/s$ is the bomb's initial vertical velocity, since the airplane was moving horizontally

$t$ is the time

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

$x$ is the bomb's range

$V_{ox}=350 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1 h}{3600 s}=97.22 m/s$ is the bomb's initial horizontal velocity

$V_{f}$ is the bomb's final velocity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

With the conditions given above, equation (1) is now written as:

$y_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (4)

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}$ (5)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1500 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (6)

$t=17.49 s$ (7)

<h3>a) Final velocity </h3>

Since $V_{oy}=0 m/s$ , equation (3) is written as:

$V_{f}=-gt$ (8)

$V_{f}=-(97.22)(17.49 s)$ (9)

$V_{f}=-171.402 m/s$ (10) The negative sign only indicates the direction is downwards

<h3>c) Range </h3>

Substituting (7) in (2):

$x=(97.22 m/s)(17.49 s)$ (11)

$x=1700.99 m$ (12)

Difference between inverted and upright microscope

ser-zykov [4K]

An Inverted Microscope gives you more freedom than an upright microscope. Inverted microscopes are very useful to examine the surface of heavy and large sized Items for industrial purposes. Whereas <span>upright microscopes have very limited distance between the table and the objective.</span>

Select the correct answer.

natali 33 [55]

The wave speed completely depends on the characteristics and properties of the medium . . . physical properties for mechanical waves, electrical properties for electromagnedtic waves.

So if you want to change the speed of a wave, you have to change the medium . . . shoot it through some different kind of stuff. <em>(B) </em>
