The equatorial radius of the earth is
r = 6378 km = 6378 x 10³ m

The earth makes 1 revolution in 24 hours.
The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(24*3600 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The tangential velocity (linear velocity) at a point on the equator is
v = rω
= (6378 x 10³ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s)
= 463.8 m/s

Answer: 463.8 m/s

A laser beam is incident at an angle of 30.0° from the vertical onto a solution of corn syrup in water. The beam is refracted to

dimaraw [331]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Angle of incidence, $i=30^{\circ}$

Angle of refraction, $r=19.24^{\circ}$

a.Refractive index of air, $n_1=1$

We know that

$n_2sinr=n_1sini$

$n_2=\frac{n_1sin i}{sin r}=\frac{sin30}{sin19.24}=1.517$

b.Wavelength of red light in vacuum, $\lambda=632.8nm=632.8\times 10^{-9} m$

$1nm=10^{-9} m$

Wavelength in the solution, $\lambda'=\frac{\lambda}{n_2}$

$\lambda'=\frac{632.8}{1.517}=417nm$

c.Frequency does not change .It remains same in vacuum and solution.

Frequency, $\nu=\frac{c}{\lamda}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{632.8\times 10^{-9}}$

Where $c=3\times 10^8 m/s$

Frequency, $\nu=4.74\times 10^{14}Hz$

d.Speed in the solution, $v=\frac{c}{n_2}$

$v=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1.517}=1.98\times 10^8m/s$

Imagine that the ball on the left is given a nonzero initial velocity in the horizontal direction, while the ball on the right c

masya89 [10]

Answer:

vₓ = xg/2y

Explanation:

In this question, let us find the time it takes for the ball on the right that has zero initial velocity to reach the ground.

By newton equation of motion we know that

y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

t = 2y / g

This is the time it takes for the ball on the right to reach the ground; at this time the ball on the left travels a distance

vₓ = x/t

vₓ = xg/2y

vₓ = xg/2y

Where we assume that x and y are known.
