Well, it's actually optical "density", but I understand
what you're getting at.

That phenomenon is called "refraction".

It happens with any wave motion. It's very prominent in the
progress of seismic waves, radio waves, sound waves etc.

A motorcyclist heading east through a small town accelerate at constant 4.0meter per seconds square after he leaves the limits.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A) The position at t = 2.0 sec is 43.0 m east

B) The position is 55 m east

Explanation:

In order to solve the problem, we take the east direction as positive direction.

We know that:

- at t = 0, the motorcyclist is at a position of $x_0 = 5.0 m$

- at t = 0, the initial velocity of the motorcyclist is $v_0 = 15.0 m$ east

- The acceleration of the motorcyclist is constant and it is $a=4.0 m/s^2$

Since the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the position of the motorcylist is given by the expression

$x(t)=x_0 + v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where t is the time.

Substituting t = 2.0 s, we find the position:

$x(2.0)=(5.0)+(15)(2.0)+\frac{1}{2}(4.0)(2.0)^2=43 m$

The velocity of the motoryclist can be found by calculating the derivative of the position. Therefore, it is:

$v(t)=x'(t)=v_0 + at$

where:

$v_0=15.0 m/s$ is the initial velocity

$a=4.0 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

We want to find the time t at which the velocity is

v = 25 m/s

Solving the equation for t,

$t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}=\frac{25-15}{4}=2.5 s$

And therefore, the position at t = 2.5 s is:

$x(2.5s)=5.0+(15.0)(2.5)+\frac{1}{2}(4)(2.5)^2=55 m$

What is a type of matter made up of a combination of elements

myrzilka [38]

A type of matter made up of a combination of elements is called a compound. for example table salt, is made up of two elements that by themselves are lethal but chemically combined cancel each other out there for becoming edible.

Identical isolated conducting spheres 1 and 2 have equal charges and are separated by a distance that is large compared with the

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

F = 0.1575 N

Explanation:

When the third sphere touches the first sphere, the charge is distributed between both spheres, then now the first sphere has only half of his original charge.

In this moment then

Sphere one has a charge = Q/2

Sphere three has a charge = Q/2

Now when the third sphere touches the second sphere again the charge is distributed in a manner that both sphere has the same charge.

How the total charge is Q = Q/2 + Q = 3/2Q, when the spheres are separated each one has 3/4Q

Sphere two has a charge = 3/4Q

Sphere three has a charge = 3/4Q

The electrostatic force that acts on sphere 2 due to sphere 1 is:

F = $\frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2} }{r^{2} }$

F= $\frac{K(Q/2)(3Q/4)}{r^{2} }$

how $\frac{KQ^{2} }{r^{2} }$ = 0.42

Then

F = $\frac{0.42*3}{8}$

F = 0.1575 N

Answer 1-8 please <br> Thanks

Y_Kistochka [10]

The answers are as follows:
1. B.
A typical atom is made up of three different particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and the neutron are located inside the nucleus of the atom while the electron orbit round the nucleus.
2. C
The number of proton in an atom determines the atomic number of that atom. Atom are positively charged particles and they do no participate in chemical reactions. The number of proton of an element remain constant at all time while the number of neutrons and the electrons in the atom may change.
3. B.
The first periodic table was created by Dmitri. He arranged the periodic table in such a way that, elements with similar properties fall into the same column in his periodic table. This was because, he arranged the periodic table on the basis of their physical and chemical properties.
4. A
The elements in the periodic table are arranged in horizontal row and vertical column. The column on the periodic table divides the elements into groups.
A row of element on the periodic table is called PERIOD. For elements on the same period, they have the same number of atomic orbitals.
5. A
Chemical symbol refers to the one or two letters which are used to represent a particular element. Chemical symbols are derived in a variety of ways. The chemical symbols make it possible for one to recognize an element quickly and to write it in an abbreviated form when writing chemical equations.
6. A.
An object is said to be ductile if it can be pulled into a long wire. It refers to an element's capacity to be pulled into a thin wire without the element been deformed. This is one of the properties of metals. Ductability makes it easier for one to work with a metal.
7. C
When metals atoms react with other atoms, the metal atoms lose electrons, this is because, metals usually have a low number of electrons in their outermost shells, which they always preferred to donate in order to achieve octet form.
8. B
Particle accelerator is a machine that accelerate elementary particles to very high energies, thus producing beam of charged particles which can be used for a lot of different purposes.
