The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.
Answer: A
<u>Explanation:</u>
NOTES:
d = 650 meters
t = 10 seconds
**********************************
v = d/t
= 650 meters/10 seconds
= 65 meters/second
Answer:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Solution:
As per the question:
Refractive index of medium 1,
Angle of refraction for medium 1,
Angle of refraction for medium 2,
Now,
(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:
where
= Refractive Index of medium 2
Now,
(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:
(c) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 1:
We know that:
Thus for medium 1
(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:
For medium 2:
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
The forces on the car and truck are equal and opposite. The equal forces cause accelerations of the truck and car inversely proportional to their mass. That is, If the Truck A exerts a force FAB on car B, then the car will exert a force FBA on the truck. Therefore,
FBA = −FAB
However, this can be explained by Newton's second law. Let's say the truck has mass M and the car has mass m. If the magnitude of the force that both vehicles experience is F, then the magnitudes of their respective accelerations are:
atruck = F/M
acar = F/m
and combining these we get:
atruck/acar = m/M
So if the mass of the car is a lot less than the mass of the truck, then the acceleration of the truck is much smaller than the acceleration of the car, and if you were to watch the collision, the truck would pretty much seem like it's motion was unaffected, but the car's motion will change quite a bit.
