Answer:

B) because it slows down, which causes it to bend

Explanation:Light hits the glass in a lens because it slows down, which causes it to bend. The material of a lens is more optically dense than the air it is traveling from.

Hey there Donnell!

The reason to why light refract when it encounters the glass in a lens would be because it slows down, which causes it to bend, this would be the reason why <span> light refract when it encounters the glass in a lens.

I hope this helps you!</span>

In the Compton effect, the wavelength of the scattered photon is __________ the wavelength of the incident photon.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

he wavelength is different (greater) than the wavelength of the incident photon

Explanation:

The Compton effect is the scattering of a photon by an electron, this process is analyzed using the conservation of momentum, in which we assume that initially the electron is at rest and after the collision it recedes, therefore the energy of the incident photon decreases and consequently its wavelength changes

To complete the sentence we use the wavelength is different (greater) than the wavelength of the incident photon

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance
mart [117]

Answer:

a. 120 W

b. 28.8 N

Explanation:

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.

a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.

b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?

(a) He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward

Power = efficiency X metabolic power

= 0.25 X 480

= 120 W

(b)

power if force times the velocity

P = Fv

convert  15 km/h to m/s

v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s

F = P/v

= 120/4.166

= 28.8 N

definition of terms

power is the rate at which work is done

force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line

velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.

How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance?
WINSTONCH [101]
When you heat something of cool it down you don't change the substance you might change the why is looks, but it is still the same substance. For example you cool water to 0 degrees Celsius it turns into ice but it still is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen H2O. Physical changes will change state and/or form but it will still be what it originally was on the molecular level. Hope that helped.

A Ford Taurus driven 12,000 miles a year will use about 650 gal of gasoline compared to a Ford Explorer that would use 850 gal.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

19 800 lbm of carbon dioxide more.

Explanation:

<u>Taurus</u>

Amount of gasoline used in 5 years = 650 ga/year * 5 years = 3250 ga

amount of carbon dioxide released = 19.8 lbm/ga * 3250 ga = 64 350 lbm

<u>Explorer</u>

Amount of gasoline used in 5 years = 850 ga/year * 5 years = 4250 ga

amount of carbon dioxide released = 19.8 lbm/ga * 4250 ga = 84 150 lbm

Extra amount of CO2 released = 84 150 lbm - 64 350 lbm = 19 800 lbm
