Light rays bend as they pass from air into water at an angle (not 90 degrees). this is refraction. air water normal incident ray

refracted ray which quantity doesn't change when light refracts?

When light ray pass from air into water, its speed and wavelength change only the frequency of the light doesn't change.

Light travels slower in a medium of higher refractive index. It bends because of this change in speed. The wavelength of light also changes in order to maintain the constant frequency.

Analysis of the relationship between the fuel economy (mpg) and engine size (liters) for 35 models of cars produces the regres

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Gas mileage is 17.29

Explanation:

Given data:

The total number of the model is 35

The total size of the engine is 5 ltr

The regression model is given as

$36.44 - 3.829\times engine\ size$

From the information given in question we have

Regression equation is : model- mpg $= 36.44 - 3.829\times engine\ size$

Therefore for engine capacity of 5 liters;

Gas mileage $= 36.44 - 3.829\times 5 = 17.29$

Gas mileage is 17.29

A 60-W light bulb radiates electromagnetic waves uniformly in all directions. At a distance of 1.0 mm from the bulb, the light i

slega [8]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is:

(a) $\frac{1}{4}(I_o)$

(b) $\frac{1}{4} (u_o)$

(c) $\frac{1}{2}B_o$

Explanation:

According to the question, the value is:

Power of bulb,

= 60 W

Distance,

= 1.0 mm

Now,

(a)

⇒ $\frac{I}{I_o} =\frac{r_o_2}{r_2}$

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒ $I=I_o\times \frac{1_2}{2^2}$

⇒ $=I_o\times \frac{1}{4}$

⇒ $=\frac{1}{4} (I_o)$

(b)

As we know,

⇒ $\frac{u}{u_o} =\frac{I}{I_o}$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $u=\frac{1}{4}(u_o)$

(c)

⇒ $\frac{B^2}{B_o^2} =\frac{u}{u_o}$

$=\frac{I}{I_o}$

⇒ $B=B_o\times \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} }$

⇒ $=\frac{1}{2}(B_o)$

A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.599 kg ball is released at a height of 2.18 m above the floor with a speed of 7.05

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

$W_{drag} = 4.223\,J$

Explanation:

The situation can be described by the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem:

$U_{g,A}+K_{A} = U_{g,B} + K_{B} + W_{drag}$

The work done on the ball due to drag is:

$W_{drag} = (U_{g,A}-U_{g,B})+(K_{A}-K_{B})$

$W_{drag} = m\cdot g\cdot (h_{A}-h_{B})+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{A}^{2}-v_{B}^{2})$

$W_{drag} = (0.599\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (2.18\,m-3.10\,m)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.599\,kg)\cdot [(7.05\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(4.19\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}]$

$W_{drag} = 4.223\,J$
