Reflection- looking at yourself in a mirror and seeing the moon in the sky
Refraction- putting on your glasses in order to see more clearly and the pencil looks like it’s bent when you stick one end of it in water.

A small toy car travels 2.0 meters in 120 seconds. what is the speed of the car?

mamaluj [8]

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{60} ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Speed of an object is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by the object to the time taken to cover that distance.

Let $s$ be the speed of the object.

Let $D$ be the distance travelled by the object.

Let $t$ be the time taken by the object.

So, $s=\frac{D}{t}$

s= $\frac{2}{120}=\frac{1}{60}ms^{-1}$

So,the speed of the car is $\frac{1}{60}ms^{-1}$

In 1996, astronomers discovered an icy object beyond pluto that was given the designation 1996 tl 66. it has a semimajor axis of

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer : 2446 years.

Explanation :

Length of semi major axis is, $a=84\ au= 1.496\times 10^{11}\ m$

According to Kepler's third law, square of time period of an orbit is directly proportional to the cube of the semi major axis.

i.e $T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

where G is gravitational constant

M is mass of sun, $M=1.98\times 10^{30}\ Kg$

So, $T^2=\dfrac{4\times (3.14)^2}{6.6\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/Kg\times 1.98\times 10^{30}\Kg}$

$T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times(84\times 1.496\times 10^{11})^3$

$T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times 1984415.6\times 10^{33}$

$T^2=59532469.8\times 10^{14}\ s$

$T=7715.7\times 10^7\ s$

since, $1\ sec=3.17\times 10^{-8}\ years$

So, orbital period is approximately 2446 years.

Why are all bodies in nature electrically neutral? short answer please

DENIUS [597]

Answer: because they have equal numbers of protons

Explanation: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion
