Define Refraction and give some knowlegde about it

1 answer:

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.

A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

-387883.3 m/s²

0.000286168546055 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 370 m/s

v = Final velocity = 259 m/s

s = Displacement = 9 cm

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{259^2-370^2}{2\times 9\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow a=-387883.3\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the bullet is -387883.3 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{259-370}{-387883.3}\\\Rightarrow t=0.000286168546055\ s$

The time taken is 0.000286168546055 seconds

Liquid can flow but solid cannot give reason

Airida [17]

Answer:

well..

Explanation:

Liquid can flow but solid cannot because of differences in their properties

property of liquid which lets it flow:

inter-particular space is large
inter-particular attraction is small these properties tend to make the molecules of liquid free to flow

property of solid which tends to obstruct flow:

inter-particular space is small and so it's compact
inter-molecular attraction is strong hence no tendency to flow

Hope this helps!
