Refraction is a phenomenon which results when a ray of light enters from one medium to another medium. When a ray of light enters from denser medium to rarer medium, it bends away from the normal. The laws of refraction are: The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

Two steamrollers begin 115 mm apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.10 m/sm/s . At the same instant, a
NeX [460]

Answer:

The distance of fly travel is 115.06 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 115 mm

Speed = 1.10 m/s

Speed of fly = 2.20 m/s

We need to calculate the relative speed

Using formula of relative speed

v=v_{1}+v_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v=1.10+1.10

v=2.20\ m/s

We need to calculate the time for the two steamrollers to meet each other

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{115}{2.20}

t=52.3\ sec

We need to calculate the distance of fly travel

Using formula of distance

d=vt

Put the value into the formula

d=2.20\times52.3

d=115.06\ m

Hence, The distance of fly travel is 115.06 m.

How often is water added to the Earth system?
rosijanka [135]
<span>Water is never added to earth system. Water forever remains in the water cycle on earth, so it goes from the ground, to the air, to the rain, to the sea, and round and round continuously. This cycle means that there does not need to be new water added to the earth, because it recycles any water that already exists of its own accord.</span>

The density of nuclear matter is about 1018 kg/m3. Given that 1 mL is equal in volume to 1 cm3, what is the density of nuclear m
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

density is 10^{6} Mg/µL

Explanation:

given data

density of nuclear = 10^{18} kg/m³

1 ml = 1 cm³

to find out

density of nuclear matter in Mg/µL

solution

we know here

1 Mg = 1000 kg

so

1 m³ is equal to 10^{6} cm³

and here 1 cm³ is equal to  1 mL

so we can say 1 mL is equal to 10³ µL

so by these we can convert density

density = 10^{18} kg/m³

density = 10^{18} kg/m³ × \frac{10^{-3} }{10^{6} }  Mg/µL

density =  10^{6} Mg/µL

What happens to a path of a light ray parallel to the principal axis, after it passes through a converging
Simora [160]

Answer: The ray that passes through the focal point on the way to the lens will refract and travel parallel to the principal axis. ... All three rays should intersect at exactly the same point.

Explanation: Once these incident rays strike the lens, refract them according to the three rules of refraction for converging lenses.
