Answer:

<h2>35</h2>

Explanation:

According to snell's law which states that the ratio of the sin of incidence (i) to the angle of refraction(n) is a constant for a given pair of media.

sini/sinr = n

n is the constant = refractive index

Since the diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat, the refractive index n = nw/ng

nw is the refractive index of water and ng is that of glass

sini/sinr = nw/ng

given i = 30°, nw = 1.33, ng = 1.5, r = angle the light leave the glass

On substitution;

sin 30/sinr = 1.33/1.5

1.5sin30 = 1.33sinr

sinr = 1.5sin30/1.33

sinr = 0.75/1.33

sinr = 0.5639

r = arcsin0.5639

r ≈35°

angle the light leave the glass is 35°

At what speed would a 3.00 x 10^4 kg airplane have to fly and with a momentum of 1.60 x 10^9 kg.m/s
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

5.3×10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Momentum = mass× velocity

M = mV................ Equation 1

Where M = momentum of the airplane, m = mass of the airplane, V = Velocity of the airplane

make V the subject of the equation

V = M/m.................. Equation 2

Given: M = 1.6×10⁹ Kg.m/s, m = 3.0×10⁴ kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = 1.6×10⁹/3.0×10⁴

V = 5.3×10⁴ m/s

Three bullets are fired simultaneously by three guns aimed toward the center of a circle where they mash into a stationary lump.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

2,87 * 10^{-3}

Explanation:

When the bullets meet at the center and collide, since momentum is a vectoral quantity, their momentum vectors even up and are sumof zero. Formula of momentum is P = m.v , where m is mass and v is velocity. Let’s name the first two bullets as x,y and the one which mass is unknown as z. Then calculate momentum of x and y:

Px= 5,30 * 10^{-3} * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s

Py= 5,30 * 10^{-3} * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s

The angle between x and y bullets is 120°, and we know that if the angle between two equal magnitude vectors is 120°, the magnitude of the resultant vector will be equal to first two and placed in exact middle of two vectors. So we can say total momentum of x and y (Px+Py) equals to 1,5953 kg*m/s as well (Shown in the figure).  

For z bullet to equalize the total momentum of x and y bullets, it needs to have the same amount of momentum in the opposite way.

Pz = 1,5953 = m * 554

m = 2,87 * 10^{-3} kg

What happends when you slowly pull out the paper while theirs a coin on top​
HACTEHA [7]
The coin would probably slowly slide down whichever end it is closer to, weigh down the end of the paper, and fall off. It kinda depends on how you hold the paper though, because if it is directly in middle, and you hold it on both ends, it will stay on the paper.
