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

Physics
1 answer:
agasfer [191]4 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.

What happens to the energy "lost" by a machine?
Savatey [412]

I would say A, although it depends on what kind of machine. If it does not recycle, then most likely C. I would be able to give more context based on what kind of machine it is.

 Find the average acceleration of a northbound subway train that slows down from 12 m/s to 9.6 m/s in 0.8 seconds.​
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

a=-3\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a train, u = 12 m/s

Final speed of a train, v = 9.6 m/s

Time taken, t = 0.8 s

We need to find the average acceleration of the train. We know that the rate of change of velocity is equal to acceleration. So,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{9.6-12}{0.8}\\\\a=-3\ m/s^2

So, the average acceleration of the train is equal to -3\ m/s^2.

Is there a frame of reference one can go into that seems to eliminate gravity as Newton described it?
andriy [413]

Answer:

Yes such a frame exists: a free-fall (free-float frame) frame. This frame of reference is subject only to gravity and no forces such as electromagnetic forces or nuclear forces.

An object's
shusha [124]

The planet of an item will remain constant across the planet, but if you give it more mass, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration due to gravity remains constant.

<h3 /><h3>What is the difference between mass and weight?</h3>

The mass of the body is defined as the amount of matter a body has. It is denoted by m and its unit is kg. Mass is the quantity on which a lot of physical quantity depends.

Weight is defined as the amount of force an object exerts on the surface. It is given as the product of mass and the gravitational pull.

Mass is an independent quantity it never depends on the other. While weight is a dependent quantity that depends upon the gravitational pull.

The value of gravitational pull is different in the different parts of the universe. For example, on the earth, the value of gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/sec².While on the moon it is g/6.

Weight is change according to the place or surrounding while the mass of the body is constant everywhere.

The planet of an item will remain constant across the cosmos, but if you give it more mass, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration of gravity remains constant.

If a planet's gravity weakens, the weight of that planet will likewise be altered. With an increase in mass, weight also rises.

Hence, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration due to gravity remains constant for the given case.

Why is newton's first law of motion sometimes called the lae of inertia?
Masja [62]
Newton's 1st law of motion states that <span>an object at rest stays at rest and an object in uniform motion along a straight line stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 
This law talks about the tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of rest or uniform motion, this is called Inertia. Thus Newton's 1st law of motion is also called the Law of Inertia</span>
