Answer:

Explanation:

Newton’s Second Law of Motion says that acceleration (gaining speed) happens when a force acts on a mass (object). Riding your bicycle is a good example of this law of motion at work. Your bicycle is the mass.

The velocities of light in air and glass are 3.0 x 10^8ms and 2.0×10^8ms respectively. If the angle of refraction is 30°, the si

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

$refractive \: index \: = \frac{3.0 \times {10}^{2} }{2.0 \times {10}^{2} }$

= 1.5

$refractive \: index = \frac{ \sin(angle \: of \: incidence) }{ \sin(angle \: of \: refraction) }$

$1.5 = \ \frac{ \sin(i) }{ \sin(30) }$

1.5 × ½ = sin(i)

$\sin(i) = 0.75$

A cat jumps from 2.5-meter-tall bookshelf to a 1.3-meter-tall countertop. If the cat

UkoKoshka [18]

The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>

ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>

ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
m = mass of the cat
g = acceleration due to gravity
H = First height
h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>

m = 15 kg
H = 2.5 m
h = 1.3 m
g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J

olga55 [171]

Answer:

4 m/ $s^{2}$

Explanation:

From Equilibrium of forces, The Tension in string is cancelled by the Weight (product of mass and acceleration due to gravity) of the body acting downwards.

The Net force = Mass * Acceleration.

Since Net Force = 20 Newton, Mass = 5kg, therefore;

20 = 5kg * acceleration. Dividing the RHS and LHS of the equation by 5, we have;

Acceleration = $\frac{20}{5}$ which gives 4.

Note: RHS means Right Hand Side.

LHS means Left Hand Side.

You wad up a piece of paper and throw it into the wastebasket. How far will

vitfil [10]

The range of the piece of paper is C) 1.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the piece of paper is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant velocity

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with constant acceleration (the acceleration of gravity, $g=9.8 m/s^2$ )

From the equation of motion, it is possible to find an expression for the range (the total horizontal distance covered) of a projectile, which is given by:

$d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}$
