Answer:

We have learned that refraction occurs as light passes across the boundary between two media. Refraction is merely one of several possible boundary behaviors by which a light wave could behave when it encounters a new medium or an obstacle in its path.

When a pendulum is at the position all the way to the left when it is swinging (at the top of the arc), what is true of the kine

JulsSmile [24]

Choice - B is the correct one.

At the top of the arc, at one end of the swing:
-- it's not going to get any higher, so the potential energy is maximum
-- it stops moving for an instant, so the kinetic energy is zero

At the bottom of the arc, in the center of the swing:
-- it's not going to get any lower, so the potential energy is minimum
-- it's not going to move any faster, so the kinetic energy is maximum

ENERGY SAVERS RACE, BRAIN BURNER. This question is about solar cars at the Chuck Norris Institute of Technology, CNIT, in Ocala,

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

a) d = 6.0 m

Explanation:

Since car is accelerating at uniform rate then here we can say that the distance moved by the car with uniform acceleration is given as

$d = \frac{(v_f + v_i)}{2} \times t$

here we know that

$v_f = 10 m/s$

$v_i = 0$

$t = 1.2 s$

now we will have

$d = \frac{(10 + 0)}{2}\times 1.2$

$d = 5 \times 1.2$

$d = 6.0 m$

Acceleration of a free-falling object in a frictionless environment increases as a function of time.

Digiron [165]

A free-falling object is an object moving under the effect of gravitational forces alone

The correct option to select for the True or False question is False

The reason the above selected option is correct is as follows:

According to Newton's second law of motion, we have;

Force = Mass × Acceleration

The force of gravity is $F_{g} =G \cdot \dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}$

Where;

$G \cdot \dfrac{M }{r^{2}} = Acceleration \ due \ to \ gravity , \ g \approx 9.81 m/s^2$

m = The mass of the object

∴ The force acting on an object in free fall, $F_g$ = m × g

Therefore the acceleration of an object in free fall is the constant acceleration due to gravity, and it therefore, does not change with time

The correct option for the question, acceleration of a free-falling object in a frictionless environment increases as a function of time is False

How does geomagnetism help scientist understand the motion of earth’s plates?

xeze [42]

Answer:

As the "plates" on each side of ridges in the seafloor are pulled away, lava comes up from the middle, hardens and "records" the current magnetic field.

Why would you expect sodium (Na) to react strongly with chlorine (Cl)?

Snowcat [4.5K]

3. is the answer, Sodium needs to lose one electron, and chlorine needs to gain one electron. This is because Sodium's row always wants to give away an electron, while Chlorine's row wants to gain an electron.
