<h2>Answer: c. Refraction</h2>

Refraction is a phenomenon in which a light wave bends or changes its direction when passing through a medium with a <u>refractive index</u> different from the other medium.  

Being the <u>refractive index</u> n is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum (c=3(10)^{8}m/s) and the speed of light v in the second medium:

n=\frac{c}{v}

It is important to note that in this process, the wavelength may be modified because it depends on the medium, however, the refracted ray of light does not change its frequency.

Tires of a Bigfoot truck has a diameter of 2.2 m. If it rotates 60 revolutions find distance travel on the road.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

s = 414.7 m\\

Explanation:

The relationship between the linear distance covered by an object and its angular displacement is given by the following formula:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance traveled on road = ?

r  radius of tires = diameter/2 = 2.2 m/2 = 1.1 m

θ = angular displacement = (60 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 377 rad

Therefore,

s = (1.1 m)(377 rad)\\s = 414.7 m

An object is thrown upward from the top of a 144​-foot building with an initial velocity of 128 feet per second. The height h of
ankoles [38]

Answer:

After 9 seconds the object reaches ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

We equation of motion given as h = -16t²+128t+144,

We need to find in how many seconds will the object hit the ground,

That is we need to find time when h = 0

                        0 = -16t²+128t+144

                       16t²-128t-144= 0

                       t=\frac{-(-128)\pm \sqrt{(-128)^2-4\times 16\times (-144)}}{2\times 16}\\\\t=\frac{128\pm \sqrt{25600}}{32}\\\\t=\frac{128\pm 160}{32}\\\\t=9s\texttt{ or }t=-1s

Negative time is not possible, hence after 9 seconds the object reaches ground.

Which substance cannot be seperated physically or chemically?
scoray [572]

Answer:

What is a Pure Substance?

Explanation:

It is something which cannot be divided into parts by physical means, as it's all made up of the same thing. Pure substances are either elements or compounds. Elements can NOT be separated into other types of matter (physically or chemically).

The sound produced by the loudspeaker in the drawing has a frequency of 11999 Hz and arrives at the microphone via two different
const2013 [10]

The speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Frequency, f = 11999Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.03m

Velocity, v = ?

Sound speed in the tube is calculated by multiplying the frequency v by the wavelength λ.

As the sound loudness changed from a maximum to a minimum, then we know the sound interference in the case changed from constructive interference (the two sound waves are in phase, i.e. peaks are in a line with peaks and so the troughs), to a destructive interference (peaks coinciding with troughs). The least distance change required to cause such a change is a half wavelength distance, so:

λ/2 = 0.03/2

 λ  = 0.06m

We know,

v = λf

v = 0.06 X 11999Hz

v = 719.94m/s

Therefore, the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s
