The refraction occurs because when the light beam hits the prism, it is bent and light ricochets and the light is sometimes separated into the different colors.

Explanation:

Refraction: It is the phenomenon in which the light rays get bend while travelling from one medium to the another medium. It is due to change in the speed of the light.

The light rays get bend towards the normal while travelling from rarer medium to the denser medium.

The light rays get bend away from the normal while travelling from denser medium to the rarer medium.

When light passes through lenses and through a set of prism then refraction will take place as the light is travelling from rarer medium (air) to the denser medium (prism or lens). It is due to change in the speed of the light.

PLLEEEASE HELP!!! How does archimedes' principle explain how much fluid is displaced by an object?
Crank

The concept of Archimedes' principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The fluid displaced has a weight W = mg, where g is acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the weight of the displaced fluid can be expressed as W = ρVg.

A convex, or converging, lens with a focal length of 34 cm is used to observe an image of an apple than is 80 cm away from the l
Hatshy [7]

The image distance is 59.2 cm and the image is real and small.

<h3>Image distance</h3>

The distance of the image formed by the convex or converging lens is determined by applying the following lens equation.

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

where;

  • f is the focal length = 34 cm
  • u is the object distance = 80 cm
  • v is the image distance = ?

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/34 - 1/80

1/v = 0.0294 - 0.0125

1/v = 0.0169

v = 1/0.0169

v = 59.2 cm

Thus, the image distance is 59.2 cm and the image is real and small.

A 0.080-kg egg test dummy is fitted with a helmet and attached to a swing. This egg test dummy is pulled back and released, allo
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

7.8 N

Explanation:

Applying,

I = Ft................. Eqaution 1

Where I = Impulse on the egg test dummy, F = Force on the egg test dummy during the time interval, t = time interval

make F the subject of the equation

F = I/t.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: T = -0.39 N.s, t = 0.050 s

Substitute these vales into equation 2

F = -0.39/0.050

F = -7.8 N

Hence the force that act on the egg test dummy is 7.8 N

The graph below shows the conservation of energy for a skydiver jumping out
frez [133]

Answer:

The correct option is:

B) Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

We know that if a body is placed at a certain height, it possesses Potential Energy, which is represented by 'mgh'. In this case, when the skydiver is present in the plane, before jumping, he has potential energy as he is at height 'h'.

As Kinetic energy is given as '(1/2)mv²' dependent on velocity of the object, when the skydiver jumps of the plane, his height starts decreasing, which decreases his Potential Energy. As energy can neither be created or destroyed, but is converted to one form or another, all this Potential energy starts to convert into Kinetic energy. As Potential Energy decreases with distance, Kinetic energy increases. Hence, line B represents Kinetic Energy.
