Answer: The correct answer is "Light or sound waves change direction"

Explanation:

Refraction: Refraction occurs when a light rays gets bend while travelling from one medium to the another medium due to change in the speed of light or change in the direction. From the given options, the best definition of refraction is "Light or sound waves change direction".

Reflection: Reflection occurs when the light rays get reflected back from the obstacle in a same medium without getting absorb or transmit in it.

From the given options, the best definition of reflection is "Light or sound wave bounce off a medium.

Therefore, the correct option is (A).

The answer to this is A. this is because, refraction with a light or sound wave changing its direction involve propagation,(in which propagation is the change in direction of a light or sound wave)

Moons that show few craters probably
ch4aika [34]

Moons that display few craters presumably. They all pass straight over the equator of the globe. Uranus's five biggest moons. have the closest magnetic field axis.

<h3>Which 4 moons are known?</h3>

There are many fascinating moons around the globe, but the Galilean satellites—Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—the first four moons identified beyond Earth—hold the most scientific curiosity.

<h3>Can Earth have Two moons?</h3>

Moon and Earth

The basic explanation is that Earth only has one moon, that we name “the moon”. It is the biggest and brightest object in the night sky, and the only solar system body except Earth that humanity have visited in our space travel activities.

7. A block of copper of unknown mass has an initial temperature of 65.4oC. The copper is immersed in a beaker containing 95.7g o
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

37.34372 kg

Explanation:

m = Mass

\Delta T = Change in temperature

1 denotes water

2 denotes copper

c = Heat capacity

Heat is given by

Q=mc\Delta T

In this case the heat transfer will be equal

m_1c_1\Delta T_1=m_2c_2\Delta T_2\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{m_1c_1\Delta T_1}{c_2\Delta T_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{95.7\times 4.18(24.2-22.7)}{0.39(65.4-24.2)}\\\Rightarrow m_2=37.34372\ kg

Mass of copper block is 37.34372 kg

how do I solve how much time does it take for a satellite moving 15000 miles per hour travel to travel once around the earth 249
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The time taken by the satellite to orbit earth at its surface, t = 1.66 hr

Explanation:

Given data,

The velocity of the satellite, v = 15000 miles/hr

The distance of travel, d = 24901 miles,

It is equal to the circumference of earth,

So the time taken by the satellite to orbit earth at its surface,

                           v = d/t

                            t = d/v

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                            t = 24901 / 15000

                              = 1.66 hr

Hence, the time taken by the satellite to orbit earth at its surface, t = 1.66 hr
