Answer: The correct answer is "it changes speed".

Explanation:

Refraction: it is the phenomenon which occurs when the light rays travel from one medium to the another medium.

In refraction, the light rays get bend due to the change in the speed of light rays.

In reflection, the light ray is reflected back in the same medium. The light ray reflected back after striking the obstacle without getting absorb or transmit in it.

Therefore, light bends when it passes from air to water due to change in the speed.

A large fake cookie sliding on a horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring with spring constant k = 375 N
spayn [35]

Answer:

The conservation of energy should be used to answer this question.

a)

At the position where the spring is unstretched, the elastic potential energy of the spring is zero.

K_1 + U_1 - W_f = K_2 +U_2\\K_1 - W_f = U_2

since U_1 and K_2 is equal to zero.

W_f = F_fx\\\\U_2 = \frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\19 - (10)x = \frac{1}{2}(375)x^2\\\\375x^2 + 20x - 38 = 0

The roots of this quadratic equation can be solved by using discriminant.

\Delta = b^2 - 4ac\\x_{1,2} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}

x_1 = -0.346\\x_2 = 0.292

We should use the positive root, so

x = 0.292 m.

b)

We should use energy conservation between the point where the spring is momentarily at rest, and the point where the spring is unstretched.

K_2 + U_2 - W_f = K_3 + U_3\\U_2 - W_f = K_3

since the kinetic energy at point 2 and the potential energy at point 3 is equal to zero.

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 - F_fx = K_3\\K_3 = 15.987 - 2.92 = 13.067 J

Explanation:

In questions with springs, the important thing is to figure out the points where kinetic or potential energy terms would be zero. When the spring is unstretched, the elastic potential energy is zero. And when the spring is at rest, naturally the kinetic energy is equal to zero.

In part b) the cookie slides back to its original position, so the distance traveled, x, is equal to the distance in part a). The frictional force is constant in the system, so it is quite simple to solve part b) after solving part a).

While looking at bacteria under a microscope you decide to take a break when u return the amount of bacteria has doubled in size
VikaD [51]
Your break probably only took 20-30 minutes. Bacteria can double every 20-30 minutes. Hope this helped!

Before collecting a specimen of urine or feces, the nursing assistant asks the nurse or consults the lab for?
bulgar [2K]

Before collecting a specimen of urine or feces, the nursing assistant asks the nurse or consults the lab for which storage and delivery method to use.

There are different tests that need to be performed on a urine or feces specimen. It depends on the patients that which test would be asked for him to be done.

The storage and delivery methods for urine and feces in the case of different tests has to be consulted by the nurse or consultant.

Incase of an emergency test, whose results are immediately required the method of delivery is a fast mode one. For patients that have a mild disease or are not at risk, other reliable methods can be used. Each specimen should be properly labeled for proper checking.

Find Jupiter's mass from the fact that its moon Io orbits every 42.5 hours at an average distance of 422,000 kilometers.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

M=1.9\times 10^{27}\ kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Orbital period, T = 42.5 hours = 153000 seconds

The average distance of Jupiter's mass, r = 422,000 km

We need to find Jupiter's mass. The formula for the orbital period is given by :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3\\\\T^2GM=4\pi^2 r^3\\\\M=\dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{T^2 G}\\\\M=\dfrac{4\pi^2 \times (422000 \times 10^3)^3}{(153000 )^2 \times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}\\\\M=1.9\times 10^{27}\ kg

So, the mass of Jupiter is 1.9\times 10^{27}\ kg.
