They slow down so the answer is B

c = speed of light in vacuum = 300,000 kilometers/second

n = index of refraction of material

v = speed of light in the material

Speed of light in a given material is given as

v = C/n

v = 300,000/n

for air, the value of index of refraction "n" is slightly greater, hence the speed of light in air is smaller than 300,000 kilometers/second. hence the light waves slow down.

so correct choice is

B.slow down

Explain why liquids solidify when they are cooled.
Setler [38]
Because the molecules that move freely begin to compact closer together, with less heat, means less molecular activity.

Use the five rules to determine the validity of this categorical syllogism:
Novay_Z [31]

Question:

The five rules are;

"The middle term must be distributed in at least one premise.

If a major or minor term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premises.

No syllogism can have two negative premises.

If either premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative.

No syllogism with a particular conclusion can have two universal premises."

Answer:

The categorical syllogism is invalid as it does not meet thr requirements of rule 2

Invalid because it breaks rule #2.

Explanation:

An argument whose conclusion is  implied based on the logical stipulation of the premise is a deductive argument

A  syllogism is a deductive argument that makes use of deductive reasoning to come to  conclusion, considering a number of of two or more premises which are taken to be true.

For categorical syllogism, we have

If  A is in C, then B is in C

Based on the five rules, we have

1. The middle term must be distributed at least once

Here, the middle term is all neutron stars are extremely dense hence i says something about all items in a category, therefore it is distributed

2. If a term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premise.

Here, the distributed term in the conclusion are "extremely dense objects" is not distributed in the premise, therefore the categorical syllogism is invalid.

A very humble bumble bee is flying horizontally due North at a constant speed of 3.11 m/s. At the current location of the bumble
Reil [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of the Magnetic Force. This expression will be expressed in both the vector and the scalar ways. Through this second we can directly use the presented values and replace them to obtain the value of the magnitude. Mathematically this can be described as,

\vec{F_B} = q(\vec{V}\times \vec{B})

F_B = q|v||B| sin\theta

Here,

q = Charge

v = Velocity

B = Magnetic field

\theta = \text{Angle between } \vec{B} \text{ and } \vec{V}

Our values are given as,

\theta = 35.7\°

q = 22.5*10^{-9}C

B = 1.05*10^{-5}T

v = 3.11m/s

Replacing,

F_B = (22.5*10^{-9}C)(3.11 \times 1.05*10^{-5}) sin(35.1\°)

F_B = 4.224*10^{-13}N

Therefore the size of the magnetic force acting on the bumble bee is 4.22*10^{-13}N
