why doesn't light bend (refract) when it initially enters a glass? what actually happens to the light inside the semi-circle?

1 answer:

7 0

The light does not bend when it initially enters the glass because it travels from a less dense medium such as air to a dense medium such as glass. The refraction of light happens only on the flat side of the semi-circle, while on the circular side, it strikes on the interface.

Sand falls from an overhead bin and accumulates in a conical pile with a radius that is always threethree times its height. Supp

hammer [34]

Answer:

159241.048 cm³/s

Explanation:

r = Radius = 3×height = 3h

h = height = 16 cm

Height of the pile increases at a rate = $\frac{dh}{dt}=22\ cm/s$

$\text{Volume of cone}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (3h)^2h\\\Rightarrow V=3\pi h^3$

Differentiating with respect to time

$\frac{dv}{dt}=9\pi h^2\frac{dh}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dv}{dt}=9\pi 16^2\times 22\\\Rightarrow \frac{dv}{dt}=159241.048\ cm^3/s$

∴ Rate is the sand leaving the bin at that instant is 159241.048 cm³/s

A person is using a rope to lower a 5.0-n bucket into a well with a constant speed of 2.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of the forc

OLga [1]

Answer:

5 N

Explanation:

The bucket is moving at a constant speed of 2m/s Therefore F=ma is 0 N for this to be correct the magnitude of the force exerted by the rope must be equal to the weight of the bucket which is 5 N

If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder, and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the lightning: 5 seconds = 1 mile, 15 seconds = 3 miles, 0 seconds = very close. Keep in mind that you should be in a safe place while counting.

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall rather that form a surf zone. What does this tell

NARA [144]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall and not form surfs because of the steepness of the shorelines. Long period waves wont form surfs at steep shores because of the breaking and unstability of waves. Wave breaks at the shallow waters. The breaking of the waves depends upon H/L ratio.
