Answer:

1. The best definition of refraction is ____.

a. passing through a boundary

b. bouncing off a boundary

c. changing speed at a boundary

d. changing direction when crossing a boundary

 

Answer: D

Bouncing off a boundary (choice b) is reflection. Refraction involves passing through a boundary (choice a) and changing speed (choice c); however, a light ray can exhibit both of these behaviors without undergoing refraction (for instance, if it approaches the boundary along the normal). Refraction of light must involve a change in direction; the path must be altered at the boundary.

If two variables have a non-related relationship and one of the variables is changed, how will the other variable change?
PolarNik [594]

If one of the variables is changed, that tells nothing about what happens to the other one, or IF anything happens, or when, or how long it lasts. Because they are UN-RELATED. You just said so yourself.

None of the choices says this.

jonny [76]

Answer:

1170 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.30 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 88.0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

x

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(88.0 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3.30 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 1173.33 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the runway must be at least 1170 meters long.

DanielleElmas [232]
3-m-high large tank is initially filled with water. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom drains to the atmosphere through a horizontal 80-m-long pipe. If the total irreversible head loss of the system is determined to be 1.5 m, determine the initial velocity of the water from the tank. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors.
