Light<span> refracts whenever it </span>travels<span> at an angle into a substance with a </span>different<span>refractive index (optical density). This change of direction is </span>caused<span> by a change in speed. For example, when </span>light travels<span> from air into water, it slows down, causing it to continue to travel at a </span>different<span> angle or direction.</span>
Velocity of the sled is 3.2 m/s
Answer:
20.96 h
Explanation:
The perimeter of the track is 2*pi*r = 20pi miles
In 10 hours, car B would have moved 20miles. So, when Car A leaves from point X, car B is 20pi - 20 miles from point X counter-clockwise and car A.
From here, we can express the distance of A from X like this:
xa = 3t
And the distance of B would be:
xb = 20pi - 20 - 2t
The time t where they would passed each other and put 12 miles between them would be the one where xa - xb is equal to 12:
xa - xb = 12
3t - (20pi - 20 - 2t) = 12
5t = 20 pi - 8
t = (20pi - 8)/5 = 10.96 h
Remember to add this value to the 10 hours car B had already been racing:
t = 20.96h
