As light travels through a medium, it moves in a straight line path,but when light passes from one medium into another medium, the light path bends,Refraction takes place.

Glass is a denser medium(medium in which particles are close to each other) whereas air is rarer medium(medium in which particles are far away from each other). Whenever light rays travel from rarer to denser medium, speed of light decreases. This is because, in denser medium, light rays interact with more particles and due to this there is a time delay. Geometrically,When light rays enter glass or any other denser medium, it bends towards the normal of denser medium because refractive index of glass is more than that of air. Finally, when light ray travels from glass to air, the emergent ray will be parallel(it is not exactly parallel and this is due to curvature of space-time. But the deviation is negligible in all the geometrical optiks experiment) to the incident ray because light ray travels in the same medium i.e air.

A spaceship is traveling toward Earth while giving off a constant radio signal with a wavelength of 1 meter (m). What will the s
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Less than 1 m

Explanation:

When objects are getting closer to each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the blue shift of waves. Here, the wavelength reduces.

In the opposite case the when objects are getting farther from each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the red shift. Here, the wavelength increases.

In this case the spaceship is getting close to Earth hence the wavelength will be lower than 1 m.

Suppose you fill two rubber balloons with air, suspend both of them from the same point, and let them hang down on strings of eq
andrew-mc [135]

The force on each balloon is 2×10^−3 N.

Consider two balloons of diameter 0.200m each with a mass of 1.00g hanging apart with 0.0500m separation on the ends of string making angles of 10.0° with the vertical.

\sum F_{y} = Tcos10\textdegree - mg = 0\\\\T = \frac{mg}{cos10\textdegree } \\\\\sum F_{y} = Tsin10\textdegree - mg = 0\\

So,

F_{e}  = \frac{mg}{cos10\textdegree }sin10\textdegree  = mgtan10\textdegree \\\\= (0.00100kg)(9.8m/s^{2})tan10\textdegree \\\\F_{e} = 2 \times 10^{-3}N

A force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (e.g. moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of newton (N).

In a game of pool, the cue ball moves at a speed of 2 m/s toward the eight ball. When the cue ball hits the eight ball, the cue
agasfer [191]

Answer:

a)  p₀ = 1.2 kg m / s,  b) p_f = 1.2 kg m / s,  c)   θ = 12.36, d)  v_{2f} = 1.278 m/s

Explanation:

a system formed by the two balls, which are isolated and the forces during the collision are internal, therefore the moment is conserved

a) the initial impulse is

        p₀ = m v₁₀ + 0

        p₀ = 0.6 2

        p₀ = 1.2 kg m / s

b) as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved so

       p_f = 1.2 kg m / s

we define a reference system where the x-axis coincides with the initial movement of the cue ball

we write the final moment for each axis

X axis

        p₀ₓ = 1.2 kg m / s

        p_{fx} = m v1f cos 20 + m v2f cos θ

        p₀ = p_f

       1.2 = 0.6 (-0.8) cos 20+ 0.6 v_{2f} cos θ

        1.2482 = v_{2f} cos θ

Y axis  

       p_{oy} = 0

       p_{fy} = m v_{1f} sin 20 + m v_{2f} cos θ

       0 = 0.6 (-0.8) sin 20 + 0.6 v_{2f} sin θ

       0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

we write our system of equations

        0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

        1.2482 = v_{2f} cos θ

divide to solve

        0.219 = tan θ

         θ = tan⁻¹ 0.21919

         θ = 12.36

let's look for speed

           0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

            v_{2f} = 0.2736 / sin 12.36

           v_{2f} = 1.278 m / s
