<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is </u><u>(D) change direction when they change mediums. </u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When light enters from one medium to another medium it changes its original path and deflects itself. This changing of path is known as the refraction of light and this is the reason we see when we put a pencil in a cup of water, it looks as if it is bent and larger in the water.

A lightweight string is wrapped several times around the rim of a small hoop. If the free end of the string is held in place and
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension

For linear motion of hoop downwards

mg -T = ma , m is mass of the hoop . a is linear acceleration of CG of hoop .

For rotational motion of hoop

Torque by tension

T x R ,      R is radius of hoop.

Angular acceleration be α,

Linear acceleration a = α R

So TR = I  α

= I  a / R

a = TR² / I

Putting this value in earlier relation

mg -T = m TR² / I

mg = T ( 1 + m R² / I )

T = mg / ( 1 + m R² / I )

mg / ( 1 + R² / k² )

Tension is less than mg or weight because denominator of the expression is more than 1.

Does the sun always shine directly overhead at the equator at noon
Nikitich [7]
The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.
