Explanation :

The phenomena in which the ray of light bend towards or away from the normal is called the refraction of light. Light always travels in straight line. If the speed of light in both medium differs then refraction occurs.

According to Snell's law :

$\dfrac{sin\ \theta_1}{sin\ \theta_2}=\dfrac{v_1}{v_2}=\dfrac{n_2}{n_1}$

Where $n_1$ and $n_2$ is the refractive indices of two medium 1 and medium 2.

$v_1$ and $v_2$ is the speed of light in medium 1 and medium 2.

Hence, the given figure shows the refraction of light.

a student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression a

kozerog [31]

Given:

$Force, f = 12 \frac{kg-m}{sec^{2} }$

$Mass, m = 7 kg$

$Acceleration, a_{1} = 3\;\frac{m}{sec^{2} }$

$a = a_{1}+\frac{f}{m}$

$Substitute\;the\;values\;of\;f,\;m\;and\;a_{1}\;in\;the\;above\;equation,$

$a = 3+\frac{12}{7}$

$a = 3 + 1.714$

Therefore, the acceleration is,

$a = 4.714\;\frac{m}{sec^{2} }$

<h3>Explain Acceleration?</h3>

An object's rate of changing its velocity is known as its acceleration, which is a vector quantity. If an object's velocity is changing, it is accelerating. When anything moves faster or slower in a straight line, it is said to have been accelerated. Even if the speed is constant, motion on a circle accelerates because the direction is always shifting.
