Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 3CQ
Example 8.3 and some of the problems in this chapter describe how, when an object explodes into two fragments, the lighter one gets more kinetic energy than the heavier one. How can this be so, since both fragments are acted upon by the same force for the same amount of time during the explosion? (Hint: Does the force act over the same distance on each fragment?)

Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.
