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.

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 4.6 m from the center of the ride. then the operator turns on the rid
ioda
<span>Radius = 4.6 m
 Time for one complete rotation t = 5.5 s.
 Distance = 2 x 3.14 x R = 2 x 3.14 x 4.6 m = 28.888.
 Velocity V = distance / time = 28.888 / 5.5 s = 5.25 m/s
 Force exerted by cat Fc = mV^2 / R = (mx 5.25^2) / 4.6 m
  Force of the cat Fc = 6m, m being the mass.
 Normal force = Us x m x g = Us x m x 9.81 = Us9.81m
 equating the both forces => Us9.81m = 6m => Us = 6 / 9.81 => Us = 0.6116 So coefficient of static friction = 0.6116</span>

You are approaching a police car at 68. 1 mph and the police car is approaching you at 94. 8 mph. Assume that the speed of sound
Veronika [31]

We will hear the sound of siren of frequency 1553.4606 Hz.

<h3>What is Doppler Effect?</h3>

The apparent change in wave frequency brought on by the movement of a wave source is known as the Doppler effect. When the wave source is coming closer and when it is moving away, the perceived frequency changes. The Doppler effect explains why we hear a passing siren's sound changing in pitch.

according to Dopplers Effect,

f'=[\frac{v + v_{0} }{v - v_{s} } ]f

f'= [\frac{700+68.1}{700-94.8} ]* 1224

f'= 1553.4606 Hz

the frequency would be 1553.4606 Hz.

Consider the image above. Vi = the initial velocity and Vf = the final velocity. Is there acceleration? Explain your answer.
lutik1710 [3]
<span><span>Velocity is a vector, and the initial and final ones are in opposite directions.
There must have been acceleration in order to change the direction of motion.</span>

A) No. The initial and final velocities are the same.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", and the initial and final velocities are NOT the same.

B) Yes. The ball had to slow down in order to change direction.
This is poor, and not the correct choice.
The "Yes" is correct, but the explanation is bad.
Acceleration does NOT require any change in speed.

C) No. Acceleration is the change in velocity. The ball's velocity is constant.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", there IS acceleration, and the ball's velocity is NOT constant.

D) Yes. Even though the initial and final velocities are the same, there is a change in direction for the ball.
This choice is misleading too.
The "Yes" is correct ... there IS acceleration.
The change in direction is the reason.
The initial and final velocities are NOT the same.  Only the speeds are.
