Answer:

Speed of light decreases when it goes from a rarer medium to denser medium and increases when it travels from denser to rarer.

Explanation:

when light will fall on aquarium the glass wall and water inside it are denser compared to the air outside. so, the ray will refract from its original path (bending towards the normal) and decrease its speed. The reverse happens when it travels out of aquarium. the air is less dense compared to the water and glass so it will increase the speed.

Answer:

speed of light waves change when they travel in air to aquarium because want's the light hits the water you see bunches of color along with bigger looking objects

A 325 N force applied to an object for 5.5 s. What’s the impulse?

vazorg [7]

According to Newton second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum while maintaining other factors constant. Therefore, F = (mv-mu)/t where F is the resultant force , m is the mass of the object, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.
Hence, Ft = mv-mu, but impulse is given by force multiplied by time, thus, impulse is equivalent to the change in momentum.
Impulse = Ft
= 325 × 2.2 sec
= 715 Ns

Check all that are true about waterfalls

Lerok [7]

Waterfalls are created when a river flows following a descending rapid slope. The waterfall, then, flows from the source (where it starts) to the mouth (where it ends).
Waterfalls are created when the erosion of the rocks at the bottom of the slope is more powerful than the erosion of the rocks on the top.
After many years the water is able to erode the rocks on the top as well, and the waterfall slowly disappears.

Therefore the options that apply are:
b) waterfalls move towards their mouth;
c) the top or cap rock is resistant to erosion;
f) waterfalls indicate a youthful river

What is the difference between parallel and series

DiKsa [7]

In a series circuit, the sum of the voltages consumed by each individual resistance is equal to the source voltage. ... In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.

9. Captain America is chasing Red Skull. He plans to throw his shield to knock down Red Skull but needs to know how fast Red Sku

Sedaia [141]

Red Skull's relative velocity to Captain America, towards the left front of the

truck is approximately 33.23 m/s in a direction from the North of

approximately 9.18°.

Reasons:

Assumptions;

Taking the north direction as positive.

The activity takes place on the trucks.

The trucks are moving towards each other.

Solution:

Vector form of net speed of Red Skull, is given as follows;

v₁ = -( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 3.5)·i + ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 3.5 + 12.5)·j

Vector form of the net speed of Captain America is given as follows;

v₂ = ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 4.0)·i - ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 4.0 + 15)·j

Relative velocity, v₁₂ = v₁ - v₂

∴ v₁₂ = (-( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 3.5) - ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 4.0))·i + (( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 3.5 + 12.5) + ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 4.0 + 15))·j

v₁₂ = $-\frac{ 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}$ ·i + $\frac{ 110 + 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}$ ·j

Red Skull's velocity relative to Captain America, v₁₂ = $-\frac{ 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}$ ·i + $\frac{ 110 + 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}$ ·j

v₁₂ ≈ -5.3·i + 32.8·j

Therefore;

Red Skull appears to be moving West at 5.3 m/s and North at 32.8 m/s

The direction is $arctan \left(\frac{32.8}{-5.3} \right) \approx -80.2^{\circ}$

Therefore;

Red Skull appear to be moving at 90° - 80.2° ≈ 9.18° towards the left front end of the truck moving North

The magnitude of the velocity, |v₁₂|, is given as follows;

$|v_{12}| = \sqrt{\left(-\frac{ 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{ 110 + 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}\right)^2} = \dfrac{ 5 \cdot \sqrt{130+33 \cdot\sqrt{2} } }{2} \approx 33.23$ ·

The magnitude of Red Skull's velocity relative to Captain America is,

therefore;

|v₁₂| ≈ 33.23 m/s
