1 answer:
marusya05 [52]3 years ago
7 0
-- pass the light through a lens
The path of the light is bent (refracted) to a new direction.

-- bounce the light off a shiny surface
The light is sent back (reflected) in the direction from which it arrived.

-- pass the light through a prism
The light is spread out according to the different wavelengths
that may be in it.

-- put something black in the light's path
The light is completely absorbed and is never seen again.

-- turn the light off
The source stops emitting light.

-- throw a towel over the lamp
The light is absorbed in the towel, and not seen outside of it.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

best close estimate distance is 315 miles

Explanation:

given data

speed v1 = 50 miles per hour

speed v2 = 60 miles  per hour

time t1 = 4 hr

time t2 = 7 hr

to find out

best estimate for the distance traveled

solution

we know lower end distance

distance = v1 × t1

distance = 50 × 4 = 200 miles

and

upper end distance

distance = v2 × t2

distance = 60 × 7 = 420 miles

so middle value distance is

v = 55 miles per hour and t = 5.5 hours

distance = v × t  

distance = 55 × 5.5

distance = 302.5 miles

so best close estimate distance is 315 miles

An object experiences a net acceleration to the left. Which of the following statements about this object are true? There may be
dedylja [7]

Answer:

  1. When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
  2. If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude

Explanation:

When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.

From Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of the object is given as;

a = ∑F / m

a = -F / m

The negative value of "a" indicates acceleration to the left

where;

∑F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

At a constant force, F = ma ⇒ m₁a₁ = m₂a₂

If the mass of the object was doubled, m₂ = 2m₁

a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (m₂)

a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (2m₁)

a₂ = ¹/₂(a₁)

Therefore, the following can be deduced from the acceleration of this object;

  1. When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
  2. If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude

A soldier throws a grenade horizontally from the top of a cliff. Which of the following curves best describes the path taken by
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

4. Parabola

Explanation:

The motion of the flight of the grenade is a projectile motion, it's shape is best illustrated using a parabolic diagram.

It's not a circle as the path is not totally round.

It's not an ellipse as the path of motion is not a a completely bounded shape.

Its not a hyperbola as a hyperbola is an open curve with two branches.

Its a parabolic shape because a parabola has just one branch
