Change in speed is the answer
Sever21 [200]4 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is - change in speed.

When light travels from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, it bends and this phenomenon is known as refraction.

It is caused due to difference in the speed of light in different medium as speed of light is slow in a denser medium (like water) whereas speed is faster in a lighter medium (like air).

A block slides to a stop as it goes 47 m across a level floor in a time of 6.35 s. a) What was the initial velocity? b) What is
UNO [17]

Answer :

(a) The initial velocity is, 14.8 m/s

(b) The acceleration is, -2.33m/s^2

Explanation :

By the 1st equation of motion,

v=u+at     ...........(1)

where,

v = final velocity = 0 s

u = initial velocity

t = time = 6.35 s

a = acceleration

The equation 1 will be:

0=u+a(6.35}

u=-6.35a       ..........(2)

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2     ...........(3)

where,

s = distance = 47 m

Now substitute equation 2 in 3, we get:

47=(-6.35a)\times (6.35)+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (6.35)^2

By solving the term, we get:

a=-2.33m/s^2

The acceleration is, -2.33m/s^2

Now we have to calculate the initial velocity.

Using equation 2, we gte:

u=-6.35a

u=-6.35s\times (-2.33m/s^2)

u=14.8m/s

The initial velocity is, 14.8 m/s

A projectile is launched in the horizontal direction. It travels 2.050 m horizontally while it falls 0.450 m vertically, and it
kari74 [83]

Answer:

0.303s

Explanation:

horizontal distance travel = 2.050 m, vertical distance travel = 0.45 m

Using equation of linear motion

Sy = Uy t + 1/2 gt² Uy is the inital vertical component of the velocity, t is the time taken for the vertical motion in seconds, and S is the vertical distance traveled, taken downward vertical motion as negative

-0.45 = 0 - 0.5 × 9.81×t²

0.45 / (0.5 × 9.81) = t²

t = √0.0917 = 0.303 s

There is an old physics joke involving cows, and you will need to use its punchline to solve this problem
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The angle of deflection will be "1.07 × 10⁻⁷°".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of a cow,

m = 1100 kg

Mass of bob,

mb = 1 kg

The total distance between a cow and bob will be,

d = 2 m

Let,

The tension be "t".

The angle with the verticles be "\theta".

Now,

Vertically equating forces

⇒  T\times Cos \theta =mb\times g ...(equation 1)

Horizontally equating forces

⇒  T\times Sin \theta = G\times M\times \frac{mb}{d^2} ...(equation 2)

From equation 1 and equation 2, we get

⇒  tan \thata=\frac{G\times M}{g\times d^2}

O putting the estimated values, will be

⇒  \theta = tan(\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}\times 1100}{9.8\times 2^2} )

⇒  \theta = 1.07\times 10^{-7}^{\circ}

So I was randomly wondering how atoms can be packed together with electrons orbiting them. Like the atoms get all packed togethe
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Without the powers of the Flash, no. ... This would allow the Flash to force his molecules through the object he wants to phase through by moving them through the gaps in the object's atoms. It would probably cause more damage to the body or the object being phased through than shown in the comics/show, but it can be done.
