How does light behaves when light passes through water?

light bends towards the normal when passing from air to water.

Explanation:

when Light passes from air to water It gets refracted and bend towards normal and if it passes from water to air it bends away from normal. This is because of the difference in density of the medium. Light when passing through higher density to lower bends away from normal and on passing through lower density to higher bends towards normal.

in general, some of the rays of light will reflect from the surface of water but other will pass through the water. The normal is the perpendicular line drawn on the surface at the exact point of incident.

How do terrestrial and giant planets differ? List as many ways as you can think of.
Leni [432]

Answer: The differences between terrestrial planets and the giant planets are s follows-

  1. The inner planets namely Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the terrestrial planets, whereas the outer planets namely Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are known as the outer planets.
  2. Inner planets are composed mainly of silicate materials as well as some metals, whereas the giant planets are comprised of water (in different states) and gases such as Hydrogen and Helium.
  3. The density of the inner planets are more in comparison to the outer planets, where earth has the highest of about 5.5 gm/cm³ and Saturn has the lowest of about 0.7 gm/cm³.
  4. Due to the location of the inner planets near to the sun, they have high boiling point, whereas outer planets are much far from the sun so they have a low boiling point.

the kinetic energy of an object with mass m moving with a velocity of 5 m/s is 25 j what will be its kinetic energy when its vel
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

100 J, 225 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

In this problem, the initial kinetic energy of the object is

K = 25 J

Then, the velocity is doubled, which means

v' = 2v

Therefore, the new kinetic energy will be

K'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2 = 4(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=4K

Therefore, the kinetic energy has quadrupled:

K' = 4(25)=100 J

Later, the velocity is tripled, which means

v'' = 3v

Therefore, the new kinetic energy will be

K''=\frac{1}{2}m(3v)^2 = 9(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=9K

Therefore, the kinetic energy has increased by a factor of 9:

K' = 9(25)=225 J

What is the equivalent resistance between points A and C if R1=1430, R2=1350, R3=1100, R4=1350, and R5=1150.
Marianna [84]

R1 + R4 = 1430 + 1350 = 2780 = R14    series combination of R1 & R4

R2 + R5 = 1350 + 1150 = 2500 = R25

The circuit has been reduced to 3 resistors in parallel

R314 = 2780 * 1100 / (2780 + 1100) = 788  this is the resistance of the parallel combination of R14 and R3

R31425 = 2500 * 788 / (2500 + 788) = 599 which is the equivalent of the circuit  - you can also use the formula for 3 resistors in parallel but this seems simpler
