Answer: D. solids and liquids only

Explanation:

Solids have definite volume because they have almost no inter-molecular space between its molecule, they are closely packed and rigid in their structure and hence they also have a definite shape.

In case of liquids we have a little inter-molecular space which makes the liquid-bulk flexible enough to attain any shape but this inter molecular space is not sufficient enough to make them compressible making them negligibly compressible. Therefore liquids are also  considered to have a difinite volume.

But in the case of gases there is very large inter molecular space and the molecules make a random motion due to very weak force of attraction between them and the space between the molecules is compressible on the application of force. So, they don't have a definite shape and definite volume.

A light beam is incident on a piece of fluorite (n = 1.434) at the Brewster's angle.
trasher [3.6K]
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

When a force of 15 newtons is applied to a stationary chair, it starts moving. What can you say about the frictional force betwe
harkovskaia [24]
First you need to make a difference between friction while object is stationary and the friction while object is moving. Force required to start moving some object is slightly greater than force required to maintain objects movement. That means that to move a chair you need some force F1 but you can than slightly reduce force and chair will still be moving.

Now to the problem in this question: It can be said that "stationary friction force" is equal to 15 Newtons. Its also good to know that friction force between chair and floor while you are increasing your push is also increasing and is equal to force of your push. Once it reaches 15N which is it "critical value" for that chair, chair starts moving and friction force drops a little bit and now it is called friction force of moving chair.

What is the value of sin r and sin i in physics​
taurus [48]

Answer:

★The second law of refraction

The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant for a light of given colour and for a given pair of media. This law is also called Snell's law of refraction. If 'i' is the angle of incidence and 'r' is the angle of refraction then, Sin i/Sin r = constant

This constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.

While water skiing behind her father’s boat, Letty is pulled at constant speed by a force of 164 N from the tow rope that makes
kap26 [50]

Answer:

0.265

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces:

Normal force Fn pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Tension force T at an angle θ.

Friction force Fn μ pushing left.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + T sin θ − mg = 0

Fn = mg − T sin θ

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T cos θ − Fn μ = 0

Fn μ = T cos θ

μ = T cos θ / Fn

μ = T cos θ / (mg − T sin θ)

Given T = 164 N, θ = 10.0°, m = 65.0 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

μ = (164 N cos 10.0°) / (65.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 164 N sin 10.0°)

μ = 0.265
