What physical property of light changes and causes the light to refract, or bend?

1 answer:

3 0

I think it would be by the change in speed
For example if light travels from air to water it will slow down causing it to travel at a different angle/direction

What is the rate of acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Negative 9.8 meters per second squared

Explanation:

The negative is for the direction (down, towards the center of the earth). Often this can be estimated as -10 m/s^2 to make calculations easier.

Convert 7.93 lbs into grams. Hint: 1 kg = 2.2 lbs

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

7.93 lbs is equal to 3596.987 grams.

Explanation:

The weight in grams is equal to the pounds multiplied by 453.59237.

So... you would multiply 7.93 by 453.59237.

7.93 x 453.59237 = 3596.987

Hope that helped!

The escape speed from the moon is much smaller than from earth. True or False

Lisa [10]

Answer:

True

The escape speed from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth.

Explanation:

The escape speed is defined as:

$v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}$ (1)

Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass and r is the radius.

The mass of the Earth is $5.972x10^{24}kg$ and its radius is $6371000m$

Then, replacing those values in equation 1 it is gotten.

$v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(6.67x10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(5.972x10^{24}kg)}{(6371000m)}}$

$v_{e} = 11.18m/s$

For the case of the Moon:

$v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(6.67x10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(7.347x10^{22}Kg)}{(1737000m)}}$

$v_{e} = 2.38m/s$

Hence, the escape speed from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth.

Since it has a smaller mass and smaller radius compared to that from the Earth.
