Answer:

An earthquake is a trembling movement of the earth's crust. These tremors are generally caused by shifts of the plates that make up the earth's surface. ... A tsunami (pronounced soo-NAHM-ee) is a series of huge waves that occur as the result of a violent underwater disturbance, such as an earthquake or volcanic eruption.

Refraction refers to C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Please help if you can.

Initially there were 10 bulbs of 60 Watt power

So total power of all bulbs = 60 * 10 = 600 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

$E = P * t$

$E = 600 * 4 = 2400 Wh$

$E = 2.4 kWh$

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

$E = 365 * 2.4 = 876 kWh$

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

$P_1 = 876 * 10 = 8760 cents = $87.60$

Now if all 60 Watt bulbs are replaced by 30 Watt bulbs

So total power of all bulbs = 30 * 10 = 300 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

$E = P * t$

$E = 300 * 4 = 1200 Wh$

$E = 1.2 kWh$

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

$E = 365 * 1.2 = 438 kWh$

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

$P_1 = 438 * 10 = 4380 cents = $43.80$

total money saved in 1 year

$Savings = 87.6 - 43.8 = $43.80$

Bob is pushing a box across the floor at a constant speed of 1.7 m/s, applying a horizontal force whose magnitude is 70 N. Alice

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) 70 N, b) b. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Explanation:

a) A constant speed means that magnitude of friction force is equal to the magnitude of the external force. The friction force is directly proportional to the normal force, which is equal to the weight of the box. Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 70 N.

b) Alice used initially a greater force to accelerate the box up to needed speed and later reduced the external force to keep speed constant. The right choice is option b.

9. A Veggie meatball with v = 5.0 m/s rolls off a 1.0 m high table. How long does it take to hit the floor if no one sneezes? Wh

Paha777 [63]

By Considering the vertical distance and both vertical and horizontal final velocity, the time t = 0.45 s and Velocity V = 6.7 m/s

Given that a Veggie meatball with v = 5.0 m/s rolls off a 1.0 m high table.

Height h = 1.0 m

As the ball rolls off the table, it will be fallen under gravity. Where

g = 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$

Initial vertical velocity $u_{y}$ = 0

Initial horizontal velocity $u_{x}$ = 5 m/s

Considering the vertical distance, the formula to use to calculate the time will be;

h = ut + 1/2g $t^{2}$

1 = 0 + 1/2 x 9.8 $t^{2}$

1 = 4.9 $t^{2}$

$t^{2}$ = 1/4.9

t = $\sqrt{0.204}$

t = 0.45 seconds

It takes 0.45 seconds to hit the floor if no one sneezes.

To calculate its velocity when it hits the floor, we will need to calculate for both vertical and horizontal final velocity and find the resultant velocity of the two.

Vertical component

$V_{y}$ = $U_{y}$ + gt
