Light refracts due to a change in ________

Physics
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
7 0

The answer is b) Speed.

Light refracting is the just the change of direction of the light. And the change of direction in the light is caused by the change in speed.

An example of this would be when light travels into the water. When light hits the water it slows down, causing a change in speed and ultimately changing the direction, causing a light refraction to occur.

A distant galaxy is determined to be 150 million light years distant and moving away from us; using the Hubble law determine its
dlinn [17]

Your question kind of petered out there towards the end and you didn't specify
the terms, so I'll pick my own.

The "Hubble Constant" hasn't yet been pinned down precisely, so let's pick a
round number that's in the neighborhood of the last 20 years of measurements:

             <em>70 km per second per megaparsec</em>.

We'll also need to know that 1 parsec = about 3.262 light years.

So the speed of your receding galaxy is

         (Distance in LY) x (1 megaparsec / 3,262,000 LY) x (70 km/sec-mpsc) =

              (150 million) x  (1 / 3,262,000) x (70 km/sec) =

                                 <em>3,219 km/sec  </em>in the direction away from us (rounded)

marishachu [46]
The waste products of a nuclear fission power plant can best be described as radioactive waste. 
These are the by-products from the processes carried out that produce nuclear energy. This type of waste is highly dangerous. A lot of attention has to be paid to the collection and disposal of this waste as it must not reach any near by water bodies for example. It can be deadly for life.

A car travels 15 kilometers west in 10 minutes. After reaching the destination, the car travels back to the starting point, agai
jeka94

Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).
 
Strange as it may seem, 'velocity' is completely different. 

Velocity doesn't involve the total distance traveled at all. 
Instead, 'velocity' is based on 'displacement' ... the distance
between the start-point and end-point, regardless of the route
taken to get there.  So the displacement in driving once around
any closed path is zero, because you end up where you started. 

Velocity =

           (displacement during some time)
divided by
            (time for the displacement)

AND the direction from the start-point to the end-point.


For the guy who drove 15 km to his destination in 10 min, and then
back to his starting point in 5 min, (assuming he returned by way of
the same 15-km route):

         Speed = (15km + 15km) / (10min + 5min)  =  (30/15) (km/min)

                                                                                 =  2 km/min.

        Velocity = (end location - start position) / (15 min)  =  Zero .

Capacitor C1 is initially charged to V1 and capacitor C2 is initially charged to V2. The capacitors are then connected to each o
o-na [289]

Answer:

<em>20.08 Volts</em>

Explanation:

<u>Parallel Connection of Capacitors</u>

The voltage across any two elements connected in parallel is the same. If the elements are capacitors, then each voltage is

\displaystyle V_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}

\displaystyle V_2=\frac{Q_2}{C_2}

They are both the same after connecting them, thus

\displaystyle \frac{Q_2}{C_2}=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}

Or, equivalently

\displaystyle Q_2=\frac{C_2Q_1}{C_1}

The total charge of both capacitors is

\displaystyle Q_t=Q_1\left(1+\frac{C_2}{C_1}\right)

We can compute the total charge by using the initial conditions where both capacitors were disconnected:

Q_t=V_{10}C_1+V_{20}C_2=25\cdot 24+13\cdot 11=743\ \mu C

Now we compute Q1 from the equation above

\displaystyle Q_1=\frac{Q_t}{\left(1+\frac{C_2}{C_1}\right)}=\frac{743}{\left(1+\frac{13}{24}\right)}=481.95\ \mu C

The final voltage of any of the capacitors is

\displaystyle V_1=V_2=\frac{481.95}{24}=20.08\ V
