A small body of ice, rock, and dirt that follows a extremely elliptical orbit round the sun. a spherical region that surrounds the scheme and extends virtually halfway to the closest star. A small, on an irregular basis formed, rocky object that orbits the sun.

A estraterrestrial body is an icy tiny scheme body that, once passing on the brink of the Sun, warms and begins to unharness gases, a method known as outgassing.

This produces an evident atmosphere or coma, and typically additionally a tail.

C. A could be ruby (speed of light = 170,000 km/s); B could be diamond (speed of light = 120,000 km/s).

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a light rays crosses the boundary between two different mediums.

When this occurs, the light wave changes speed and also direction, according to Snell's law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2 (1)

where

n_1 is the index of refraction of the first medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the second medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

The index of refraction is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum (c) and the speed of light in the medium (v):

n=\frac{c}{v}

Using this definition, we can rewrite eq.(1) as

\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1} = \frac{v_2}{v_1}

Where v_2 is the speed of light in the 2nd medium and v_1 the speed of light in the 1st medium.

Now let's analyze the situation represented in the figure: we see that as the light ray enters the 2nd medium, it bends towards the normal, this means that the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence:

\theta_2 < \theta_1

This means that

\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1}

And therefore,

\frac{v_2}{v_1}

So, the speed of light in the second medium is smaller than the speed of light in the first medium: this occurs only in option C), which is therefore the correct choice.

) A stone initially moving at 8.0 m/s on a level surface comes to rest due to friction after it travels 11 m. What is the coeffi
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

-0.3

Explanation:

F' = μmg ........... Equation 1

Where F' = Frictional force, μ = coefficient of kinetic friction, m = mass of the stone, g = acceleration due to gravity.

But,

F' = ma ............ Equation 2

Where a = acceleration of the stone.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

ma = μmg

dividing both side of the equation by m

a = μg

make μ the subject of the equation

μ = a/g............... Equation 3

From the equation of motion,

v² = u²+2as................. Equation 4

Where v and u are the final and the initial velocity respectively, s = distance.

Given: v = 0 m/s (to rest), u = 8.0 m/s, s = 11 m.

Substitute into equation 4

0² = 8² + 2×11×a

22a = -64

a = -64/22

a = -32/11 m/s² = -2.91 m/s²

substitute the values of a and g into equation 3

μ = -2.91/9.8

μ = -0.297

μ ≈ -0.3
