The correct answer to the question is : Light or any electromagnetic wave.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand refraction.

Refraction is the optical phenomenon in which light ray will bend at the interface of the two media having different optical densities.

When light ray comes from optical rarer medium to optical denser medium, the ray will bend towards the normal. It is so because the velocity of light in rarer medium is more than velocity of light in denser medium.

When the light comes from optical denser medium to optical rarer medium, the light ray bends away from the normal. It is so because the velocity of light increases in the rarer medium.

As per the question, wave is moving from air to ocean, and its velocity slows down.

Hence, there is refraction. So, the wave must be light or any electromagnetic wave.

Any electromagnetic wave, like light or heat.

the height of seven falls in colorado is 5/2 the height of twin falls in idahi. the sum of the two heights is 420 ft. find the h

Masja [62]

Let height of twin falls = x
height of seven falls = 2.5x

x + 2.5x = 420
3.5x = 420
x = 420/3.5 = 120

so twin falls = x = 120 ft
seven falls = 2.5x = 300 ft

Please help im stuck and can't find the answer sheet ANYWHERE :( PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE

Answer:

All steps are 20 * 100 (break the rest into appropriate pieces)

You can multiply as follows

(2000) * ((3 * 60) + (2 * 60) + 60)

V = 2000 * 6 * 60) = 720,000 cm^3 = .72 m^3

.72 m^3 * 2400 kg / m^3 = 1728 kg

A chef places an open sack of flour on a kitchen scale. The scale reading of

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial reading on scale =40 N

So, we can conclude that weight of the sack is 40 N

After this a 10 N force is applied upward on the sack such that the net force becomes (40-10) N downward (because downward force is more)

This net downward force is the resultant of earth graviational pull and the applied upward force.

So, this downward force acts on the machine which inturn applies an upaward force of same magnitude called Normal reaction.

This situation can be diagramatically represented by figure given below

A motorcycle rider moving with an initial velocity of 9.2 m/s uniformly accelerates to a speed of 19.1 m/s in a distance of 32.0

Vlada [557]

Acceleration = (final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2) / 2 * distance

Acceleration = (19.1^2 - 9.2^2) / 2 * 32

Acceleration = (364.81 - 84.64) / 64

Acceleration = 280.17 / 64

Acceleration = 4.3777m/s^2
