How does refraction support the particle theory of light? Particles bounce off surfaces similar to the way in which a ball bounc

es off a wall. Light slows down and bends when it moves from a less dense to a more dense medium. Forces act on the particles to push or pull them from one medium to another. As light passes through an opening, it spreads out in all directions.

Forces act on the particles to push or pull them from one medium to another.

Shalnov [3]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is "Forces act on the particles to push or pull them from one medium to another".

Explanation:

Refraction: It is the phenomenon in which light gets bend while travelling from one medium to the another due to change in the speed of light.

In this phenomenon, the light gets bend towards the normal when the light rays is travelling from rarer medium to denser medium. The light gets bend away from the normal when the light rays is travelling from denser medium to rarer medium.

Reflection: It is the phenomenon in which the light rays bounce back from the surface without getting absorbed.

Therefore, the correct option is "Forces act on the particles to push or pull them from one medium to another".

Water runs through a plumbing with a flow of 0.750m3/s and arrives to every exit of a fountain. At what speed will the water com
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Divide the flow rate (0.750 m³/s) by the cross-sectional area of each pipe:

diameter = 40 mm   ==>   area = <em>π</em> (0.04 m)² ≈ 0.00503 m²

diameter = 120 mm   ==>   area = <em>π</em> (0.12 m)² ≈ 0.0452 m²

Then the speed at the end of the 40 mm pipe is

(0.750 m³/s) / (0.00503 m²) ≈ 149.208 m/s ≈ 149 m/s

(0.750 m³/s) / (0.0452 m²) ≈ 16.579 m/s ≈ 16.6 m/s

What is the weight, in pounds, of a 185-kg object on jupiter? express the weight numerically in pounds?
strojnjashka [21]

Befroe showing a numercial answer, It is necessary to clarify that pounds is not a unit of weight. Pounds is a unit of mass.


Mass is a property of matter which indicates the amount of matter (atoms of certain kind) that the object has. The mass of an object does not change whenever the object changes of environment. It is the same in water, on the air, on Jupiter, the Earth, Venus, the Moon. Any where.


On the other hand, weight is the product of mass times the acceleration of gravity. Therefore, weight is different from mass and it changes depending on the place.


To find the mass in pounds of a 185 kg object, you have to make a conversion of units.


The conversion factor is 1 kg = 2.2046 pounds ⇒ 1 = 2.2046 pounds / kg.


Therefore, 185 kg = 185 kg × 2.2046 pounds / kg = 407.851 pounds = 407.851 lb ← this is the mass in pounds.


To find the weight you had to search for the gravitational acceleration in Jupiter and calcuate it with the formula weight = mass × acceleration of gravity.


You find the value for acceleration of gravity in Jupiter  in internet as 24.79 m/s².


Weight = 185 kg × 24.79 /s² = 4,586 kg × m/ s² = 4,586 N.


There is a force unit in disuse called kiloponds. One kilopond equals 9.8 N. Hence, you can convert the weight 4,586 N to kiloponds in this way:


4,586 N × 1 kilopond / 9.8 N ≈ 468 kiloponds or 468,000 ponds ← weight
