How does the path at which a ray of light strikes a prism compare to the path after emergence from the other side?

Physics

This is the reason why the path at which a ray of light strikes a prism is different to the path after emergence from the other side. There is a refraction of light ray when the light passes from one medium to another at angle. Its speed changes. The bend is in one direction if the material it enters is denser, and other direction if less dense. The amount of bending is different because of different wavelengths.

A positively charged particle moves through an electric field. As part of a complicated trajectory, the particle passes through
kow [346]

Answer:

(B) The speed is larger at A than at B.

Explanation:

Point B, the final point of the trajectory, has higher electric potential than point A, the initial point of the trajectory, so the electric potential energy of the charged particle increases, which means that its kinetic energy must be decreasing, thus the speed at B must be lower than the speed at A.

Air pressure is created by the weight of the atmosphere pushing on Earth’s surface.

Denser air is heavier than less dense air.

Air is less dense at higher altitudes.

9. How does the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle relate to the lengths of the legs? (2 points)
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The pythagorean theorem addresses the length of the hypotenuse in relation to the length of the legs. The square root of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of one leg squared plus the other leg squared. In other words, A squared plus B squared equals C squared where A and B are the lengths of the legs of the triangle and C is the length of the hypotenuse.</span>

Static, sliding and rolling are types of friction true or false
Marina CMI [18]
True because friction happens when two things are rubbed against each other and it creates force and sliding something vigorously against something else can create force.
