Answer: The correct answer is "The light ray will be refracted towards the normal".

Explanation:

Refraction: It is the phenomenon in which light gets bend while travelling from one medium to the another medium due to change in the speed of light.

The light ray gets bend towards the normal after travelling from the rare medium to the denser medium.

The light ray gets bend away from the normal after travelling from the denser to rarer medium.

In the given problem, If a light ray is traveling from air into a glass prism then the direction of the light ray will change after it enters the prism. The light ray will be refracted towards the normal

Therefore, the correct option is (A).

Consider the uniform electric field E = (8.0ĵ + 2.0 ) ✕ 103 N/C. What is its electric flux (in N · m2/C) through a circular area
cluponka [151]

Answer:

5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

Explanation:

The electric flux φ through a planar area is defined as the electric field Ε times the component of the area Α perpendicular to the field. i.e

φ = E A

From the question;

E = (8.0j + 2.0k) ✕ 10³ N/C

r = radius of the circular area = 9.0m

A = area of a circle = π r²           [Take π = 3.142]

A = 3.142 x 9² = 254.502m²

Now, since the area lies in the x-y plane, only the z-component of the electric field is responsible for the electric flux through the circular area.

Therefore;

φ = (2.0) x 10³ x 254.502

φ = 5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

The electric flux is 5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the united nations building.
BaLLatris [955]
The period of one full swing depends on the length of the pendulum and on gravity. The period of each full swing would be longer on the moon, with less gravity.

The rotation of the plane of the swings doesn't depend on the length of the string OR on gravity. It only depends on the latitude of the place where the pendulum hangs, and the rotation period of the body it's located on.

On Earth, it's (24 hours)/(sine of latitude).

On the moon, it would be (27.32 days)/(sine of latitude).

1. a=Δv/Δt=(v-vo)/t=(0-25)/5=-25/5=-5 m/s²

The "-" sign shows us that the car has a slow motion


2.a=Δv/Δt=(v-vo)/t=(10-0)/4=10/4=2,5 m/s²


3.they do not have acceleration because they go at constant speed

An 800-newton person is standing in an elevator. If the upward force of the elevator on the person is 600 Newtons, the person
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

person is accelerating downwards

Explanation:

We are told that the force of the person standing on the elevator is 800 N acting downwards.

We are also told that the upward force of the elevator on the person is 600 Newtons.

This means that Upward force is lesser than downward force and thus the person is accelerating downwards

QUESTION 1 If you do 1,000 J of work on a system and remove 500 J of heat from it, what is the change in its internal energy?
Mazyrski [523]
1. U = Q + W
    U = -500 + 1000
    U = 500 J

2. The first law of thermodynamic is about the law of conservation of energy where energy in should be equal to energy out.

3. It is the windmill that does not transform energy from heat to mechanical instead it is the transforms the opposite.

4. In a heat engine, work is used to transfer thermal energy from a hot reservoir to a cold one.

5.  5.00 × 10^4 J - 2.00 × 10^4 J = 3.00 × 10^4 J 

6. To increase the work done, we raise the temperature of the cold reservoir.
