Answer:
n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2 Snell's Law (θ1 is the angle of incidence)
sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1
sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1
sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734
θ2 = 47.2 deg
You can tell a lot about an object that's not moving,
and also a lot about the forces acting on it:
==> If the box is at rest on the table, then it is not accelerating.
==> Since it is not accelerating, I can say that the forces on it are balanced.
==> That means that the sum of all forces acting on the box is zero,
and the effect of all the forces acting on it is the same as if there were
no forces acting on it at all.
==> This in turn means that all of the horizontal forces are balanced,
AND all of the vertical forces are balanced.
Horizontal forces:
sliding friction, somebody pushing the box
All of the forces on this list must add up to zero. So ...
(sliding friction force) = (pushing force), in the opposite direction.
If nobody pushing the box, then sliding friction force = zero.
Vertical forces:
gravitational force (weight of the box, pulling it down)
normal force (table pushing the box up)
All of the forces on this list must add up to zero, so ...
(Gravitational force down) + (normal force up) = zero
(Gravitational force down) = -(normal force up) .
Answer:
38.64 feet
Explanation:
x=x0 + vx0t + 1/2axt2
x= 0 + 0 + 1/2 X 32.17 ft/sec2 X 1.55 sec2
x = 38.64 feet
Answer:
D. 1.8 × 102 newtons radially inward
Explanation:
The magnitude of the centripetal force is given by:
where
m is the mass of the object
v is the tangential speed
r is the radius of the circular trajector
In this problem, we have m = 4.0 kg, v = 6.0 m/s and r = 0.80 m, therefore substituting into the equation we get
The centripetal force is the force that keeps the object in a circular trajectory, so it is a force that is always directed inward (towards the centre of the circular path) and radially. Therefore, the correct answer is
D. 1.8 × 102 newtons radially inward
