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°

What is true of transverse waves?
topjm [15]
<h2>Answer:D</h2>

Explanation:

Option A:

Surface waves are neither transverse nor longitudinal.They traverse perpendicularly or parallel to the wave's motion along the interface between different media.

Option B:

Transverse waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the propagation of the wave.

Option C:

Sound is a longitudinal wave.Not a transverse wave.

Option D:

Transverse waves don't require a medium for propagation.But they propagate in medium too.

What is the mechanical energy of a 500kg rollercoaster car moving with a speed of 3m/s at the top hill that is 30m high
koban [17]

K.E = 1/2*m*v^2 = 1/2(500)(3)^2 = 2250 J

m*g*h = 500(9.8)(30) = 147000 J

2250 + 147000 = 149250

Bob is pulling a 30 kg filing cabinet with a force of 200 N , but the filing cabinet refuses to move. The coefficient of static
Arada [10]

Answer:

<em>Magnitude of the Frictional force is 200 N</em>

Explanation:

The frictional force is the force that tries to oppose relative motion between two surfaces that are contacting. The coefficient of static friction is the coefficient of friction of a body that is not moving.

Newton's third law of motion states that action and reaction forces are equal and opposite. So the frictional force felt on the filing cabinet will be equal to the applied force pulling the cabinet.

Frictional force = Force applied

Force applied  = 200 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the friction force on the filing cabinet is 200 N

Two spheres have identical charges and are 75 cm apart. the force between them is +0.30 n. what is the magnitude of the charge o
ella [17]

Answer:

4.33\cdot 10^{-6}C, charges are both positive or both negative

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between the two spheres is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges on the two spheres

r is the distance between the centres of the two spheres

In this problem, we have

F=+0.30 N is the force

r=75 cm=0.75 m is the distance between the spheres

q_1 =q_2 =q because the two spheres have identical charge

Solving the formula for q, we find

q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(+0.30 N)(0.75 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}}=4.33\cdot 10^{-6}C

And the two charges have the same sign (so, both positive or both negative), since the sign of the force is positive (+0.30 N), so it is a repulsive force.

How do you know when the transfer of heat (thermal energy) has ended?
lisabon 2012 [21]

The transfer of thermal energy as heat requires a difference in temperature between the two points of transfer. Heat may be transferred by means of conduction, convection, or radiation. Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object.
