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°

Consider the speed of light in another universe to be only 100 m/s. Two cars are traveling along a highway in opposite direction
olganol [36]

Answer:

-62.45m/s and +62.45m/s

Explanation:

The formula for relativistic speed

This is the speed of A with respect to B

V_{AB}=\frac{V_{A}-V_{B}}{1-\frac{V_{A}V_{B}}{C^2} }

where

V_{A} will be the velocity of person 1: 39m/s

V_{B} will be the velocity of person 2: -31m/s (negative because is travelling in opposite direction)

and C the velocity of light: 100m/s

The velocity of person 1 measured by person 2 is:

V_{AB}=\frac{39m/s-(-31m/s)}{1-\frac{(39m/s)(-31m/s)}{(100m/s)^2}}=62.45m/s

The velocity of person 2 measured by person 1 is:

V_{BA}=\frac{V_{B}-V_{A}}{1-\frac{V_{B}V_{A}}{C^2} }

V_{BA}=\frac{-31m/s-39m/s}{1-\frac{(-31m/s)(39m/s)}{(100)^2} }=-62.45m/s
