Answer:

Explanation:

in physics, the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed. For example, waves in deep water travel faster than in shallow.from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium. Refraction of light is the most commonly observed phenomenon, but other waves such as sound waves and water waves also experience refraction in other words it can be all of them or i can narrow it down some more it can have a change in dirction when light enters into a traveling point for example after moving through air it passes through a prism called compare reflection

A 3-kg wheel with a radius of 35 cm is spinning in the horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center at 800 rev/s. A

Kruka [31]

Answer:

$\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s$

Explanation:

given,

mass of wheel(M) = 3 Kg

radius(r) = 35 cm

revolution (ω_i)= 800 rev/s

mass (m)= 1.1 Kg

I_{wheel} = Mr²

when mass attached at the edge

I' = Mr² + mr²

using conservation of angular momentum

$I \omega_i = I' \omega_f$

$(Mr^2) \times 800 = ( M r^2 + m r^2) \omega_f$

$M\times 800 = ( M + m )\omega_f$

$3\times 800 = (3+1.1)\times \omega_f$

$2400 = (4.1)\times \omega_f$

$\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s$

Amy uses 20N of force to push a lawn mower 10 meters. How much work does she do? *

babunello [35]

She does 200J .

We know she uses 20N of force and 10m is the distance. We multiply both numbers and we are given our answer of 200J. Hope this was helpful. :)

“I know what the atomic number of this atom is, but I don’t know what the number of electrons is,” a friend says. How would you

liq [111]

Once the atomic number of an atom is known, the number of electrons can be deduced depending on if the atom is an ion or a neutral one.

<h3>Atomic number</h3>

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

For atoms that are neutral, that is, no net charges, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive charges always balance the negative charges in neutral atoms.

Thus, if the atomic number of a neutral atom is 6, for example, the proton number will also be 6. Since the proton must balance the electron, the number of electrons will also be 6.

if a spring has a spring constant of 2 N/m and it is stretched 5 cm, what is the force of the spring?

djyliett [7]

Answer:

0.1 N

Explanation:

Considering the relationship between force,

spring constant and extension as defined by Hook's law

The force F=xk as from Hooke's law where F is the force of the spring, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression. Substituting 2 N/m for k and 5cm which is equivalent to 0.05 m for extention x then the force will be

F=2*0.05=0.1 N
