Use evidence to explain why glass refracted more light than air or water

Physics
1 answer:
agasfer [191]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The refraction is the change in the direction of light while travelling from the one medium to another due to having different speeds in different mediums.

To determine how much light gets refracted, it depends on the density of substance and the wavelength and the angle at which light enters the substance.

Light travels more slowly in denser medium than the rarer medium. The refractive index of glass is more than water or air. Light gets refracted more in this. When the light travels from rarer to denser then the light will get bend towards the normal. When the light travels from denser to rarer then the light will get bend away from the normal.      

Glass is more denser than air or water. Water is more denser than the air. When light travels from air to glass then the light gets bends towards the normal. When the light travels from glass to the air then light gets bends away from the normal.

Therefore, the light gets refracted more in the glass than air to water.

(ASAP) would it be 125 m/s2 to calculate for her speeding up?
serg [7]

Answer:

0\:\mathrm{ m/s^2}

Explanation:

Recall the formula for acceleration:

\displaystyle\\a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}, where v_f is final velocity, v_i is initial velocity, and \Delta t is elapsed time (change in velocity over this amount of time).

Let's look at our time vs velocity graph. At t=0 seconds, V=25 m/s. So her initial velocity is 25 m/s.

We want to find the acceleration during the first 5 seconds of motion. Well, looking at our graph, at t=5 seconds, isn't our velocity still 25 m/s? Therefore, final velocity is 25 m/s (for this period of 5 seconds).

We are only looking from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds which is a total period of 5 seconds. Therefore, elapsed time is 5 seconds.

Substituting values in our formula, we have:

\displaystyle a=\frac{25-25}{5}=\frac{0}{5}=\boxed{0\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}

Alternative:

Without even worrying about plugging in numbers, let's think about what acceleration actually is! Acceleration is the change in velocity over a certain period of time. If we are not changing our velocity at all, we aren't accelerating! In the graph, we can see that we have a straight line from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds, the interval we are worried about. This indicates that our velocity is staying the same! At t=0 seconds, we have a velocity of 25 m/s and that velocity stays the same until t=5 seconds. Even though we are moving, we haven't changed velocity, which means our average acceleration is zero!

Halley's comet orbits the sun roughly once every 76 years. It comes very close to the surface of the Sun on its closest approach
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m

v1 = 9*10^4 m/s

From conservation of energy

K1 +U1 = K2 +U2

0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2

0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2

M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2

0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))

v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s

According to Newton's<br> Ist law, what will an<br> object in motion tend<br> to do?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

According to <em>Newton's first law of motion:</em>

<u>An object in motion tends to remain in motion unless an external force acts upon it.</u>

<u>It stays in motion with the same speed and goes in the same direction.</u>

<u></u>

<em>Hope this helped </em>

The coefficient of kinetic friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 0.40 the weight of the object
Ann [662]

The frictional force of an object is the product of the normal force and coefficient of kinetic friction. Here the frictional force acting on the object  is 16.4 N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

Frictional force is a kind of force acting on a body to resist it from motion. Thus, the direction of the force will be in negative with the magnitude. Frictional force is the product of coefficient of friction and the normal force.

The normal  force acting on the object of mass 4.2 Kg is N = mg

N = 4.2 Kg × 9.8 m/s² = 41.16 N

Frictional force = ц N

                         = 0.40 × 41.16 N

                         = 16.4 N.

Therefore, the frictional force acting between the surface of the object and the floor is 16.4 N
