How does density affect refraction

Physics
1 answer:
WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

The angle and wavelength at which the light enters a substance and the density of that substance determine how much the light is refracted. ... When light passes from a more dense to a less dense substance, (for example passing from water into air), the light is refracted (or bent) away from the normal.

The driver or a sports car traveling at 10 m/s steps down hard on the accelerator for 5 seconds. If they accelerate at a rate of
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

53.125m

Explanation:

The displacement of the car, denoted by S, can be calculated using the formula:

S = ut + 1/2at²

Where;

u = initial velocity/speed (m/s)

t = time (s)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

According to the information provided in this question, u = 10m/s, t = 5s, a = 0.25m/s², S = ?

S = ut + 1/2at²

S = (10 × 5) + 1/2 (0.25 × 5²)

S = 50 + 1/2 (0.25 × 25)

S = 50 + 1/2(6.25)

S = 50 + 3.125

S = 53.125m

A radar station detects an airplane approaching directly from the east. At first observation, the range to the plane is 375.0 m
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

819.78 m

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • OA = range of initial position of the airplane from the point of observation = 375 m
  • OB = range of the final position of the airplane from the point of observation = 797 m
  • \theta = angle of the initial position vector from the observation point = 43^\circ
  • \alpha = angle of the final position vector from the observation point = 123^\circ
  • \vec{AB} = displacement vector from initial position to the final position

A diagram has been attached with the solution in order to clearly show the position of the plane.

\vec{OA} = OA\cos \theta \hat{i}+OA \sin \theta \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = 375\ m\cos 43^\circ \hat{i}+375\ m\sin 43^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = (274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\vec{OB} = OB\cos \alpha \hat{i}+OB \sin \alpha \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = 797\ m\cos 123^\circ \hat{i}+797\ m\sin 123^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m

Displacement vector of the airplane will be the shortest line joining the initial position of the airplane to the final position of the airplane which is given by:

\vec{AB}=\vec{OB}-\vec{OA}\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} =  (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m-(274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} =  (-708.34\ \hat{i}+412.67\ \hat{j})\ m

The magnitude of the displacement vector = \sqrt{(-708.34)^2+(412.67)^2}\ m = 819.78\ m

Hence, the magnitude of the displacement of the plane is 819.67 m during the period of observation.

If the depth of water in a well is 10 m, what is the pressure exerted by it on the
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Let d be the density of the water  (1000 kg / m^3   eq to 1 gm / cm^3)

P = d g h     for the pressure due to a column at the bottom of the column.

P = 1000 kg / m^3 * 10 m/s^2 * 10 m = 10^5 kg / m * s^2 = 10^5 N/m

a team of dogs is pulling a sled with a net force of 2000 N. The sled is accelerating a 2.2 m/s^2. What is the mass of the sled?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Force, F = ma

Where m = mass in kg, a = acceleration in m/s²,  Force, F is in N.

F = ma

2000 = m*2.2

2.2m = 2000

m = 2000/2.2

m ≈ 909.09

Mass is ≈ 909.09 kg.
