In my own words, I would say that physics is an area of science that seeks to explain and understand the fundamental nature of the dynamics of objects, essentially defining how objects can interact, in space and in time.

Physics is a branch of science that deals with the structure of matter and the fundamental constituents of the universe interact. It’s motion, and behaviour through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and it’s main goal is to understand how the universe behaves.

How do massive stars change the atmosphere?

Wewaii [24]

Not sure what you're referring to... our atmosphere is mostly nitrogen/oxygen - both gases were created by very massive stars, many times greater than our sun - our sun isn't massive enough to create the gases needed for our atmosphere...

A particle's position is given by z(t) = −(6.50 m/s2)t2k for t ≥ 0. (Express your answer in vector form.) a. Find the particle's

blondinia [14]

Answer:

a) $z'(t) =v(t) = -13t$

Now we can replace the velocity for t=1.75 s

$v(1.75s) = -13*1.75 =-22.75 \frac{m}{s}$

For t = 3.0 s we have:

$v(3.0s) = -13*3.0 =-39 \frac{m}{s}$

b) $v_{avg}= \frac{z_f - z_i}{t_f -t_i}$

And we can find the positions for the two times required like this:

$z_f = z(3.0s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (3.0s)^2=-58.5m$

$z_i = z(1.75s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (1.75s)^2=-19.906m$

And now we can replace and we got:

$V_{avg}= \frac{-58.5 -(-19.906) m}{3-1.75 s}= -30.875 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The particle position is given by:

$z(t) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) t^2, t\geq 0$

Part a

In order to find the velocity we need to take the first derivate for the position function like this:

$z'(t) =v(t) = -13t$

Now we can replace the velocity for t=1.75 s

$v(1.75s) = -13*1.75 =-22.75 \frac{m}{s}$

For t = 3.0 s we have:

$v(3.0s) = -13*3.0 =-39 \frac{m}{s}$

Part b

For this case we can find the average velocity with the following formula:

$v_{avg}= \frac{z_f - z_i}{t_f -t_i}$

And we can find the positions for the two times required like this:

$z_f = z(3.0s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (3.0s)^2=-58.5m$

$z_i = z(1.75s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (1.75s)^2=-19.906m$

And now we can replace and we got:

$V_{avg}= \frac{-58.5 -(-19.906) m}{3-1.75 s}= -30.875 \frac{m}{s}$

When a flat slab of transparent material is placed under water, the critical angle for light traveling from the slab into water

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) 40.6 degree

Explanation:

When refraction takes place from slab to water, the critical angle is 60 degree.

Use Snell's law

refractive index of water with respect to slab

$\mu _{w}^{s}=\frac{Sin60}{Sin90}$

$\frac{\mu _{w}}{\mu _{s}}=0.866$

$\frac{1.33}{\mu _{s}}=0.866$

μs = 1.536

Now for slab air interface, the critical angle is C.

$\mu _{a}^{s}=\frac{SinC}{Sin90}$

$\frac{\mu _{a}}{\mu _{s}}=\frac{SinC}{Sin90}$

1 / 1.536 = Sin C

C = 40.6 degree
