E = ½KA^2 is the mechanical energy of any oscillator.  It is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy.  When amplitude A decreases by 3%, then

(E2-E1)/E1 = {½K(A2^2/A1^2) }/ ½K(A1^2)

= {(A2^2 – A1^2) / (A1^2)}

= 97^2 – 100^2/100^2

= 5.91% of the mechanical energy is lost each cycle.

Keeping in mind that the conversion between calories and Joules is
1 cal = 4.186 J
we can write the conversion factor using the kilocalories:
1 kcal = 4186 J

The energy released in our problem is
E=3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J 
so we can set a simple proportion to find its equivalent in kcal:
1 kcal: 4186 J = x: 3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J
from which we find:
x= \frac{3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J \cdot 1 kcal}{4186 J} =7.88 \cdot 10^6 kcal

The index of refraction for silicate flint glass is 1.66 for violet light that has a wavelength in air equal to 400 nm and 1.61
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) Angle of incidence for violet is more than the angle of incidence for red

(b) 2.4°

Explanation:

refractive index for violet , v = 1.66

refractive index for red, nR = 1.61

wavelength for violet, λv = 400 nm

wavelength for red, λR = 700 nm

Angle of refraction, r = 30°

(a) Let iv be the angle of incidence for violet.

Use Snell,s law

nv = Sin iv / Sin r

1.66 = Sin iv / Sin 30

Sin iv = 0.83

iv = 56°

Use Snell's law for red

nR  = Sin iR / Sin r  

where, iR be the angle of incidence for red

1.61 = Sin iR / Sin 30

Sin iR = 0.805

iR = 53.6°

So, the angle of incidence for violet is more than red.

(b) iv - iR = 56° - 53.6° = 2.4°

After an arrow is shot, is the force unbalanced or balanced? BRAINLY.
Reil [10]

Answer:

The force is unbalanced

Explanation:

After an arrow is shot, the force acting on the arrow is unbalanced. The resulting net force gives the arrow an initial acceleration which wanes with time and the body is brought to rest.

The net force acting on an arrow is not zero and this indicates that the forces acting on the arrow is unbalanced.

If the force is balanced, the arrow is expect to continue in uniform motion but that is not the case as air resistance has massive impact on this body.
