Refraction can occur only when light is

Physics
1 answer:
mr_godi [17]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Planetary orbits... are spaced more closely together as they get further from the Sun. are evenly spaced throughout the solar sy
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.

Explanation:

Kepler's laws establish that:

All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).

A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).

The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).

T^{2} = a^{3}

Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.

Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.

However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)

In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).

Therefore, option A and B can not be true.

In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.

A drone is flying horizontally when it runs out of power and begins to free fall from 16 m. No drag. If it lands 40 m away (in t
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

the horizontal velocity while it was falling is 22.1 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

height of fall, h = 16 m

horizontal distance, x = 40 m

The time to travel 16 m is calculated as;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 16}{9.8} } \\\\t = 1.81 \ s

The horizontal velocity is calculated as;

v_x = \frac{X}{t} \\\\v_x = \frac{40}{1.81} \\\\v_x = 22.1 \ m/s

Therefore, the horizontal velocity while it was falling is 22.1 m/s.

How did cyanobacteria affect early Earth’s biosphere? Select all that apply. Cyanobacteria allowed organisms that rely on oxygen
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The correct statements would be

  • Cyanobacteria allowed organisms that rely on oxygen to evolve.
  • Cyanobacteria preceded the first photosynthetic organisms.
  • Cyanobacteria produced excess oxygen.

Cyanobacteria, also termed as blue-green algae are the prokaryotes which are able to perform photosynthesis.

They were the major contributors of oxygen in the atmosphere and thus helped the organisms that rely on oxygen to evolve.

By the process of endosymbiosis, they lead to the origin of plants. The chloroplasts present in green plants is considered as the cyanobacteria living in the plant cell. It helps in photosynthesis and in return plants cell provides shelter to it.

It is believed that the oxygen released from early cyanobacteria reacted with dissolved iron ions to form iron oxide.
