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)

Zina [86]

Answer:

Solar and nuclear power generate more than 99 percent of our civilization's energy. Every other important source of energy is a combination of these two. The majority of them are solar in nature. We discharge previously collected solar energy when we burn wood.

and

Nuclear energy, fossil energy (oil, coal, and natural gas), and renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower) are all examples of primary energy sources.

The nuclei of large atoms, such as uranium, with 9292 protons, can be modeled as spherically symmetric spheres of charge. The ra
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Part 1 E = 2.42 * 10^{21}  N/C

Part 2 E = 1.3 * 10^{13}  N/C

Part 3 E = 0

Explanation:

Given

Number of protons = 92

Radius of nucleus r_n = 7.4 * 10^{-15} m

Distance of the electrons r_1 = 1.0 * 10^ {-10} m

Part 1

Electric field produced by  just outside its surface

E  = \frac{q}{4\pi*E_0* r_n^2 } \\E  = \frac{9 * 10^ 9 * 92 * 1.6 * 10^{-19}}{(7.4* 10^{-15})^2} \\E = 2.42 * 10^{21}  N/C

Part 2

Electric field produced by  just outside its surface

E  = \frac{q}{4\pi*E_0* r_n^2 } \\E  = \frac{9 * 10^ 9 * 92 * 1.6 * 10^{-19}}{(1* 10^{-15})^2} \\E = 1.3 * 10^{13}  N/C

Part 3

The net electric field inside a uniform shell of negative charge is zero because the electric flux lines cancel out each other

hence, the solution is

Part 1 E = 2.42 * 10^{21}  N/C

Part 2 E = 1.3 * 10^{13}  N/C

Part 3 E = 0

During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acc
Lapatulllka [165]
Let's calculate the average acceleration. It is the rate of changing speeds. Hence, we need to calculate the difference of speeds. 10-6=4 m/s. The rate is now \frac{4m/s}{2s} =2m/s^2.
In general, the formula for the mean acceleration between two times 1 and 2 is given by:
\frac{u_2-u_1}{T} where v1 and v2 are the speeds at the respective points and T is the time interval between them.
