That's one result of "refraction".

Refraction is the process in which light  will bend away or towards the normal at the point of incidence when light comes from one optical medium to another optical medium.

During sunset, sun is still visible after it has dropped below the horizon.It is so because the light coming from sun is refracted when it passes through the atmosphere.

Our atmosphere has not a constant density.It varies depending its position from earth surface. Hence, refractive index of each layer of atmosphere varies which results in the refraction of sun light for which sun is visible though it is geometrically below the horizon.


Hence, the correct answer to the question is refraction.

point A is at the bottom of a rough plane which is inclined at angle tita to the horizontal . A body of mass M is projected from
ziro4ka [17]

<h2>The work done , when body moves along the plane </h2>

Explanation:

A body is projected from bottom of the inclined plane . When body is going up the plane .

The downward force = m g sinθ is developed due to its weight

As body is moving upwards , the force of friction will act downwards

The force of friction = μ R

here μ is the coefficient of friction ans R is the normal reaction

Thus force of friction f = μ mg cosθ

Let the acceleration upwards is a

The upward force required = m a

Thus m a = mg sinθ + μ mg cosθ

or acceleration a = g ( sinθ + μ cosθ )

The work done in moving upwards  W = F S

Thus W =  mg ( sinθ + μ cosθ ) S

here S is the displacement on the plane

When body moves down , the force of friction acts upwards

Thus m a = m g ( sinθ - μ cosθ )

The work done W = m g ( sinθ - μ cosθ ) S

As the body is projected with velocity u

which can be calculated by the relation v² - u² = - 2 a X

Here v = 0 at the highest point

Thus u = \sqrt{2ax}

here a = g ( sinθ + μ cosθ )

Similarly , when it moves down , the initial velocity u = 0

Thus v² - 0 = 2 a x

or  v = \sqrt{2ax}

here a = g ( sinθ - μ cosθ )

Includes the speed of an object and the direction of its motion
Yanka [14]

Question

what Includes the speed of an object and the direction of its motion

Answer:

Hi, There!

Im 100% Sure your Answer is Velocity! Velocity is a measure of how fast something moves in a particular direction. To define it needs both magnitude and direction.

Hope this helps!!
