Answer:

This phenomenon is known as <em>Refraction.</em>

Explanation:

Light waves change speed when they pass across the boundary between two substances with a different density, such as air and glass. This causes them to change direction, an effect called refraction.

At the boundary between two transparent substances:

the light slows down going into a denser substance, and the ray bends towards the normal

the light speeds up going into a less dense substance, and the ray bends away from the normal

Rina8888 [55]

Answer: An object with a high mass close to the Earth could be sent out into a collision course with the asteroid, knocking it off course. When the asteroid is still far from the Earth, a means of deflecting the asteroid is to directly alter its momentum by colliding a spacecraft with the asteroid.

9. Knowing what you know about how a substance travels in
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Higher

Explanation:

Molecules such as oxygen move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. This process is called simple diffusion.

Therefore, for oxygen to leave the alveoli and enter the blood, there would need to be a higher concentration of oxygen inside the alveoli and a lower concentration of oxygen in the blood.

Apply the principles of diffusion to explain what will occur after placing a dyed sugar cube in a beaker of water
snow_lady [41]

The molecules in the sugar move from an area of higher concentration (sugar cube) to an area of lower concentration in the water.

That is exactly what diffusion is: the net movement of molecules or atoms driven by a gradient , which means that it doesn’t requires energy.
