Why does light change its velocity (or slows down) when it encounters a glass lens?​

Physics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

what happens is that light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass or water. This slowing down of the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change direction. It is the change in the speed of the light that causes refraction.

An asteroid orbiting the Sun has a mass of 4.00×1016 kg. At a particular instant, it experiences a gravitational force of 3.14×1
Ksivusya [100]
<h2>The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun</h2>

Explanation:

We have gravitational force

                 F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

           Where G =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

                       M = Mass of body 1

                       M = Mass of body 2

                       r = Distance between them

Here we have

                 M = Mass of Sun = 1.99×10³⁰ kg

                 m = Mass of asteroid = 4.00×10¹⁶ kg

                 F = 3.14×10¹³ N

Substituting

                   F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\\3.14\times 10^{13}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}\times 4\times 10^{16}}{r^2}\\\\r=4.11\times 10^{11}m

The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun

PLS HELP ME OUT!!
MaRussiya [10]
In order to solve this problem, we must first find out the value of each line on the number line. However, we can make this problem more simple by ignoring every interval except for the ones between 0 and 6. There are three total intervals in between 0 and 6 (including 6 and excluding 0). Therefore, we can do 6/2, and get an interval value of 2. This means that each line adds a value of 2. Since the car is only one line past zero, we only have to add one value of 2. Since 0 + 2 = 2, our final answer is C. 2.

Hope this helps!

Compare the momentum of a 6,300-kg elephant walking 0.11 m/s and a 50-kg dolphin swimming 10.4 m/s. your answer
bogdanovich [222]
<span>First sum applied the Newton's second law motion: F = ma Force = mass* acceleration This motion define force as the product of mass times Acceleration (vs.Velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time, force=(mass*velocity)/time such that, (mass*velocity)/time=momentum/time Therefore we get mass*velocity=momentum Momentum=mass*velocity Elephant mass=6300 kg; velocity=0.11 m/s Momentum=6300*0.11 P=693 kg (m/s) Dolphin mass=50 kg; velocity=10.4 m/s Momentum=50*10.4 P=520 kg (m/s) The elephant has more momentum(P) because it is large.</span>

A surface receiving sound is moved from its original position to a position three times farther away from the source of the soun
murzikaleks [220]
As long as all the waves stay in the same medium, the intensity of
any waves ... electromagnetic or mechanical ... decrease in proportion
to the square of the distance.

If the distance increases to 3 x the original distance, then the intensity
changes to  1/3² or 1/9 of the original intensity.

I suppose choice-'d' is the correct one, but I have to tell you that
the phrase "nine times as low" is mathematically meaningless,
and it really grinds my gears.
