You have three known variables:

Acceleration - 9.8m/s^2
Time - 1.85s
Initial Velocity - 0m/s

For the first part of your question:

v = u + at

v = (0)+(9.8)(1.1)

v = 10.78 m/s  v=11 m/s (2 significant figures)

For the second part of your question:

v=u+at

v=(0)+(9.8)(1.85)
v=18.13 m/s



This still needs to be converted to m/h:

18.13m/s = 18.13\times 3600 metres/h=65628  metres/hour

65628 metres/hour = 65628\div1600 mi/h = 40.7925 mi/h

= 41 mi/hr (2 significant figures)

When the flashlight is in the air and the refracted ray enters the water, how does the angle of refraction compare with the angl
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The refracted angle will be less than the angle of incidence and the speed of light is slower in the new medium (which is water) and is closer to the normal.

Try remembering this by using FST SFA (Fast Sofa)

                                             Fast -> Slow = Towards the normal

                                             Slow -> Fast = Away from normal

For a converging lens, a ray arriving parallel to the optic axis
mixer [17]

Answer:

b. passes through the principal focal point.

Explanation:

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

A lens can be defined as a transparent optical instrument that refracts rays of light to produce a real image.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of lens and these includes;

I. Diverging (concave) lens.

II. Converging (convex) lens.

A converging lens refers to a type of lens that typically causes parallel rays of light with respect to its principal axis to come to a focus (converge) and form a real image. This type of lens is usually thin at the lower and upper edges and thick across the middle.

For a converging lens, a ray arriving parallel to the optic axis passes through the principal focal point.

A gas undergoes two processes. In the first, the volume remains constant at 0.200 m3 and the pressure increases from 1.00×105 Pa
Alborosie
<h2>The work done = - 2 x 10⁴ J</h2>

Explanation:

In the first case , the volume is kept constant and pressure varies .

In isothermal process  , the work done

W₁ = V x ΔP

here V is the volume of gas and ΔP is the change in pressure

Thus W₁ = 0

Because there is no change in volume , therefore displacement is zero .

In second case pressure is constant , but volume changes

Thus W₂ = P x ΔV

here P is the pressure  and ΔV is the change in volume

Therefore W₂ = 4 x 10⁵ x 5 x 10⁻² = 2 x 10⁴ J

The total work done W = - 2 x 10⁴ J

Because the work done in compression is negative .
