When a person collides with an inflated air bag, the impact forces the molecules of gas in the bag closer together. The compression of the gas absorbs the energy of the impact.
Answer:
Light's angle of refraction = 37.1° (Approx.)
Explanation:
Given:
Index of refraction = 1.02
Base of refraction = 1
Angle of incidence = 38°
Find:
Light's angle of refraction
Computation:
Using Snell's law;
Sin[Angle of incidence] / Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = Index of refraction / Base of refraction
Sin38 / Light's angle of refraction = 1.02 / 1
Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = Sin 38 / 1.02
Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = [0.6156] / 1.02
Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = 0.6035
Light's angle of refraction = 37.1° (Approx.)
The process that produces the energy radiated by stars is nuclear fusion in the core.
For a star on the main sequence, it's the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.
Answer:
a) 1.3 rad/s
b) 0.722 s
Explanation:
Given
Initial velocity, ω = 0 rad/s
Angular acceleration of the wheel, α = 1.8 rad/s²
using equations of angular motion, we have
θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²
where
θ2 - θ1 = 53.2 rad
t2 - t1 = 7s
substituting these in the equation, we have
θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²
53.2 =ω(0) * 7 + 1/2 * 1.8 * 7²
53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 1/2 * 1.8 * 49
53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 44.1
7.ω(0) = 53.2 - 44.1
ω(0) = 9.1 / 7
ω(0) = 1.3 rad/s
Using another of the equations of angular motion, we have
ω(0) = ω(i) + α*t1
1.3 = 0 + 1.8 * t1
1.3 = 1.8 * t1
t1 = 1.3/1.8
t1 = 0.722 s
