Define Refraction and give some knowlegde about it

Physics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]3 years ago
7 0
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave, caused by the change in the wave's speed. Examples of waves include sound waves and light waves. Refraction is seen most often when a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. Different types of medium include air and water. When a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, the wave will change its speed and its direction. For example, when a light wave travels through air and then passes into water, the wave will slow and change direction.

Which statement best compares potential and kinetic energy?. .
Pachacha [2.7K]
The statement that best compares potential and kinetic energy would be : B. only kinetic energy increases when velocity of an object increases

Formula in calculating kinetic energy is : 1/2 m v^2.
which mean as velocity increased, the kinetic energy would be larger

hope this helps

I NEED HELP BADLY
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a) Andrea's initial momentum, 200 kg m/s

b) Andrea's final momentum, 0

c) Impulse,  = - 200 Ns

d) The force that the seat belt exerts on Andrea, - 400 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial velocity of the car is, u = 40 m/s

The mass of Andrea, m = 50 kg

The time period of deceleration, a = 0.5 s

The final velocity of the car, v = 0

a) Andrea's initial momentum,

               p = mu

                  = 50 x 40

                  = 200 kg m/s

b) Andrea's final momentum

                  P = mv

                     = 50 x 0

                    = 0 kg m/s

c) Impulse

                   I = mv - mu

                     = 0 - 200

                    = - 200 Ns

The negative sign indicated that the momentum is decreased.

d) The force that the seat belt exerts on Andrea

                   F = (mv - mu)t

                     = (0 - 200) / 0.5

                     = - 400 Ns

Hence,the force that the seat belt exerts on Andrea is, - 400 N

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: it is incorrect because skepticism helps scientists recognize when ideas are not supported by evidence.

Explanation:

Skepticism is simply the understanding that there can be uncertainty when it comes to knowledge in certain areas.

From the question, we are informed that John doesn't think that skepticism should play an important role in the scientific process and that he says that skepticism interferes with scientific consensus.

The statement that best describes John's conclusion is that it is incorrect because skepticism helps scientists recognize when ideas are not supported by evidence.
