Answer:
Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.
Explanation:
Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses
Answer:
the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft
Explanation:
A stone hit the cliff with
speed, v = 88 ft/s
Acceleration, a= 32 ft/s^2
initial speed, u = 0 ft/s
height is h.
To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, Equation of motion describes change in velocity, depending on the acceleration and the distance traveled
so, writing the formula of Equation of motion:
v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*h
substituting the appropriate values,
(88)^2 - 0 = 2*32* h
h=(88)^2 / 64
h= 121 ft
hence
the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

Answer:
11 m/s south
Explanation:
The velocity of the passenger relative to the river bank is equal to the velocity of the passenger relative to the ferry, plus the velocity of the ferry relative to the river, plus the velocity of the river relative to the river bank.
v_passenger,bank = v_passenger,ferry + v_ferry,river + v_river,bank
If we take north to be positive and south to be negative:
v = 1.0 m/s + (-10 m/s) + (-2 m/s)
v = -11 m/s
v = 11 m/s south
The Acceleration is constant.i hope the answer helps
