What are the characteristics of refraction​

Physics
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]2 years ago
8 0
Characteristics of refraction: When light travels from one medium to another, the frequency of light does not change. However, the velocity and wavelength change. When travelling from one optical medium to another with different refractive indices, a ray of light bends.

(Hope this helps!!)

Find the value of a x , the x-component of the object's acceleration.
jok3333 [9.3K]
To find the x component use the following formula, where Ф = theta = the angle 'a' makes with the x axis.

a_x = a*cos(theta)

a satellite is traveling in a orbit around the earth. what change would cause it to experience more gravitational force from the
never [62]
The correct answer is:
<span>A. orbiting closer to the earths surface. 

In fact, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the satellite is
</span>F=G \frac{Mm}{r^2}
<span>where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth mass
m is the satellite mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's surface

We can see that, if the satellite orbits closer to the Earth's surface, its distance r from the centre of the planet decreases. But when r decreases, F (the gravitational force) increases, so A is the correct answer.</span>

What happens when the fuel in a car engine combustion?​
Trava [24]

In a spark ignition engine, the fuel is mixed with air and then inducted into the cylinder during the intake process. After the piston compresses the fuel-air mixture, the spark ignites it, causing combustion. The expansion of the combustion gases pushes the piston during the power stroke.

A 22.0 kg child slides down a slide that makes a 37.0° angle with the horizontal. (a) What is the magnitude of the normal force
patriot [66]

Answer:

(a) 172.185 N

(b) 53^{\circ}

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the child, m = 22.0 kg

Angle, \theta = 37.0^{\circ}

Now,

(a) The magnitude of the normal force exerted by the slide on the child:

F_{N} = mgcos\theta

F_{N} = 22\times 9.8cos37^{\circ} = 172.185\ N

Now,

(b) The angle from the horizontal at which the force is directed is:

90^{\circ} - 37^{\circ} = 53^{\circ}
