<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.
  • Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

       = 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

   = 22.08

   <u>≈ 22°</u>

If one of the satellites is at a distance of 20,000 km from you, what percent accuracy in the distance is required if we desire
Lesechka [4]
<span>It is quite straightforward to convert an uncertainty to a percent uncertainty. We can divide the amount of uncertainty by the original amount and then multiply by 100%.

(2 m / 20,000,000 m) X 100% = 0.00001%

The percent uncertainty is 0.00001%.

The percent accuracy is the 100% - percent uncertainty.
The percent accuracy = 100% - 0.00001% = 99.99999%

The percent accuracy is 99.99999%.</span>

Julia jumps straight upward on mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.7\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}3.7 s 2 m ​ 3, po
liberstina [14]

We know the equation of motion v = u+ at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

In this case Final velocity = -3.1 m/s, negative sign indicates it is pointing downward.

acceleration = - 3.7m/s^2 . Negative means acceleration is towards center of planet Mars.

Time taken = 3 seconds

v = u + at\\ \\-3.1 = u-3.7*3\\ \\u = 8 m/s

So jumping velocity of Julia = 8 m/s

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Amplitude, A = 0.049 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

A harmonic wave travels in the positive x direction at 6 m/s along a taught string. A fixed point on the string oscillates as a function of time according to the equation :

y = 0.049 \cos(7t) .......(1)

The general equation of a wave is given by :

y=A\cos(\omega t) .......(2)

A is amplitude of wave

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :

A = 0.049 meters

So, the amplitude of the wave is 0.049 meters.

A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a block of mass 2.5 kg attached to a spring with spring constant 10 N/m to which is app
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

0.5% per oscillation

Explanation:

The term 'damped oscillation' means an oscillation that fades away with time. For Example; a swinging pendulum.

Kinetic energy, KE= 1/2×mv^2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Where m= Mass, v= velocity.

Also, Elastic potential energy,PE=1/2×kX^2----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Where k= force constant, X= displacement.

Mechanical energy= potential energy (when a damped oscillator reaches maximum displacement).

Therefore, we use equation (3) to get the resonance frequency,

W^2= k/m--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(3)

Slotting values into equation (3).

= 10/2.5.

= ✓4.

= 2 s^-1.

Recall that, F= -kX

F^2= (-0.1)^2

Potential energy,PE= 1/2 ×0.01

Potential energy= 0.05 ×100

= 0.5% per oscillation.

Utility poles are to be set every 30 meters. How many poles will be set in one mile if one was set at the beginning of the mile)
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

53

Explanation:

Because there are 1609.34 meters in a mile. 1609.34÷30=53.64 but because you put one at the beginning of the mile it will stay 53 and not round up to 54
