The Brewster angle is the angle can be found through this equation
θ=arctan(n2/n1).
This came from Snell's Law:
n1sinθ=n2sin(90-θ)
          =n2cosθ
n2/n1=tanθ --- θ=arctan(n2/n1)=arctan(1.434)=55.11 degrees

Next, the angle of refraction can be found by using Snell's Law
n1sinθ=n2sinθ'
sin(55.11)=1.434sinθ'
sinθ'=sin(55.11)/1.434=0.572 --- θ'=arcsin(0.572)=34.89 degrees

A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends 30 psi, but it's been a
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

21 psi

Explanation:

The weight of the car is:

W = mg

W = 1000 kg * 9.8 m/s²

W = 9800 N

Divided by 4 tires, each tire supports:

F = W/4

F = 9800 N / 4

F = 2450 N

Pressure is force divided by area, so:

P = F / A

P = (2450 N) / (0.13 m × 0.13 m)

P ≈ 145,000 Pa

101,325 Pa is the same as 14.7 psi, so:

P ≈ 145,000 Pa × (14.7 psi / 101,325 Pa)

P ≈ 21 psi

a 75-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (300 meters above ground). what is the potential energy of the
mart [117]
Here, you can calculate it's potential energy with respect to ground.
We know, U = mgh
Here, m = 75 Kg
g = 9.8 m/s²       [ constant value for earth system ]
h = 300 m

Substitute their values into the expression:
U = 75 × 9.8  × 300
U = 220500 J

In short, Your Final Answer would be 220,500 J 

Hope this helps!
