Answer:

Explanation:

Prism is a glass object that is used to study the pattern of refraction.

During this experiment it is not advised to used small values of incident angle , as when a small amount of incident ray is passed the refracted pattern observed at the end will not provide satisfactory results.

The amount of light that comes out of prism which is the refracted light will also be small hence study of complete refracted pattern will not be possible.

The small incident angle will give rise to more errors in measurement.

Wind is usually caused by a difference in pressure that causes wind to be "Pushed" on the surface of earth. Air usually moves from high to low pressure and that is what we call wind. Please hit the thanks button if this helped :)

Superman is flying 54.5 m/s when he sees

Nady [450]

348.34 m/s. When Superman reaches the train, his final velocity will be 348.34 m/s.

To solve this problem, we are going to use the kinematics equations for constant aceleration. The key for this problem are the equations $d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2}$ and $v_{f} =v_{0} +at$ where $d$ is distance, $v_{0}$ is the initial velocity, $v_{f}$ is the final velocity, $t$ is time, and $a$ is aceleration.

Superman's initial velocity is $v_{0}=54.5\frac{m}{s}$ , and he will have to cover a distance d = 850m in a time t = 4.22s. Since we know $d$ , $v_{0}$ and $t$ , we have to find the aceleration $a$ in order to find $v_{f}$ .
