Answer:

<em>The statement is true</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Conversion </u>

When an object starts to fall in free air, it speeds up as it falls. The force of gravity acting on the object causes energy to be transferred from its gravitational potential energy to its kinetic energy. We can safely say the height converts to speed and vice-versa. If no external forces act on the system, we can easily calculate heights and speeds by knowing the total mechanical energy (gravitational potential plus kinetic) is conserved.

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{The statement is true}}$

Solve the equation. 5x-5=10x+2

Veronika [31]

Answer:

x = - 1.4

Explanation:

-5=10x+2-5x (subtract 5x from both sides)

-5=5x+2 (simplify)

-5-2=5x (subtract 2 from both sides)

-7=5x (simplify)

x=-7/5 (divide both sides by 5)

x=-1.4 (simplify)

Light travels faster in warmer air. On a sunny day, the sun can heat a road and create a layer of hot air above it. Let's model

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we assume there is a sharp boundary between the two masses of air, there will be a refraction. The refractive index of each medium will depend on the relative speeds of light.

n = c / v

If light travels faster in warmer air, it will have a lower refractive index

nh < nc

Snell's law of refraction relates angles of incidence and refracted with the indexes of refraction:

n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2)

sin(θ2) = sin(θ1) * n1/n2

If blue light from the sky passing through the hot air will cross to the cold air, then

n1 = nh

n2 = nc

Then:

n1 < n2

So:

n1/n2 < 1

The refracted light will come into the cold air at angle θ2 wich will be smaller than θ1, so the light is bent upwards, creating the appearance of water in the distance, which is actually a mirror image of the sky.
