The question is poor. Light doesn't refract on its way THROUGH anything. It refracts at the boundary BETWEEN two different media. The effect is greatest where the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media is greatest. On your list, that would be at the boundary between air or space and glass.
propagated disturbance is a variation
Answer:
4 m/s
Explanation:
m1 = m2 = m
u1 = 20 m/s, u2 = - 12 m/s
Let the speed of composite body is v after the collision.
Use the conservation of momentum
Momentum before collision = momentum after collision
m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v
m x 20 - m x 12 = (m + m) x v
20 - 12 = 2 v
8 = 2 v
v = 4 m/s
Thus, the speed of teh composite body is 4 m/s.
write out what you have on both sides, then just use basic multiplication to try and even out both sides. I can help if you need me to balance some for you!!
