Answer:

when the ray passes from ice to perspex it must approach the normal

Explanation:

This is an exercise in refraction of light, the process is governed by the expression

      n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where we use index 1 for the incident medium and subscript 2 for the scattered medium.

In our case, medium 1 is ice with the lowest refractive index.

           sin θ₁ = n₂ / n₁   sin θ₂

To fulfill this equation, if the ray travels through the medium 1 ice with an angle θ₁, the angle in the medium 2 perspex must be smaller so that the sine is smaller, so when the ray passes from ice to perspex it must approach the normal

Andrew is riding his bike is riding in a circle that has a radius of 10 m. He keeps
Dmitrij [34]

The acceleration that Andrew experience  during his ride is 3.6m/s²

The formula for calculating centripetal acceleration is expressed as:

a = v²/r

v is the speed

r is the radius

Given the following expression

v = 6m/s

r = 10m

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

a = 6²/10

a = 36/10

a = 3.6m/s²

Hence the acceleration that Andrew experience  during his ride is 3.6m/s²

Why doesn’t the moon fall toward the earth and smash into it?

Gravity

The moon doesn't smash into the earth because the gravity from the earth keeps the moon in orbit around it.
