Answer:

Speed of light changes

Explanation:

Since glass is denser than air so the speed of light in glass is less than in air so light rays bend i.e. refract.

If a certain gas occupies a volume of 12 l when the applied pressure is 6.0 atm , find the pressure when the gas occupies a volu
dolphi86 [110]
From Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant absolute temperature. 
Therefore; P1V1 =P2V2; where PV is a constant
hence; 12 × 6 = 3× p2
           p2 = 72/3
                = 24 atm
Therefore; the new pressure will be 24 atm

You are doing an experiment to determine your reaction time. Your friend holds a ruler. You place your fingers near the sides of
olga2289 [7]
I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
    increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.

Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .

Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:

                Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...

                              11.2 cm  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
                         0.112 meter  =  (4.9 m/s²) (time)²                      

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :        (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                            (0.112 / 4.9)  sec²  =  time²

Square root
each side:            time = √(0.112/4.9  sec²)

                                  =  √ 0.5488 sec²

                                  =      0.74 second     (rounded)

A student's calculation for the work done on an object is shown.
MissTica

The statement that describes the error in the work is that the distance must be converted to meters (m).

<h3>FORMULA FOR WORK:</h3>

Work can be calculated by using the following formula:

W = F × d

Where;

  • W = work done
  • F = force (N)
  • d = distance (m)

According to this question, the force is given as 140N and the distance is given as 30cm. The force is calculated as follows:

F = 140N × 30cm = 4200J

This calculation is erroneous because the unit of distance should be converted from cm to meters.
