Explanation:

Refraction is the change in the direction of the wave passing from one medium to another.

The change in the direction of the propagation of any wave is due to the different speed at different points.

A far away object appears closer and a small object appears larger.

Take an example. Suppose, an object lies in water.

A far away object appears closer. The angle from which the rays of light reach the observer is larger than the angle that it makes in air.

This makes the angular size larger to the observer's eye which makes the object look larger relative what it looks in air. Similar but vice versa condition occurs in the case when a small object appears larger.

Therefore, refraction can be used to make a far away object appear closer and also make a small object appear larger.

How can groundwater flow, elevation can transport contaminates
Pavel [41]

Answer: it's under explanation

Explanation:Groundwater contamination occurs when man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become unsafe and unfit for human use. Materials from the land's surface can move through the soil and end up in the groundwater.

Un alambre de teléfono de 120m de largo y de 2.2mm de diámetro se estira debido a una fuerza de 380 N cual es el esfuerzo longit
sergij07 [2.7K]

Respuesta: verifique amablemente la explicación

Explicación:

Dado lo siguiente:

Longitud (L) del cable = 120 m

Diámetro (d) = 2,2 mm (2,2 / 1000) = 2,2 * 10 ^ -3 m

Fuerza (F) = 380 N

Esfuerzo longitudinal = Fuerza / Área

Área = πd² / 4 = (π * (2.2 * 10 ^ -3) ^ 2) / 4

Área = (3.142 * 4.84 * 10 ^ -6)

Área = 0.00000380132 m²

Estrés = Fuerza / Área

Estrés = 380 / 0.00000380132

Esfuerzo longitudinal = 99952128.12 = 9.9952128 * 10^7 Nm^-2

Deformación longitudinal: extensión / longitud

Extensión = 0.10 m

Longitud = 120 m

Deformación longitudinal = 0,1 m / 120 m

Deformación longitudinal = 0.0008333 = 8.33 × 10 ^ -4

Sheila eats an energy bar right before she goes on a run. What energy changes will occur in sheila as she runs after eating?
LiRa [457]
The energy bar eaten by Sheila has chemical energy locked up inside it. This chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy in form of potential and kinetic energy and this in turn is converted to heat energy as the run progresses. Thus, the energy changes are: chemical energy to mechanical energy [kinetic and potential] and finally to heat energy.
