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.

A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of − 14.0 nC and 33.0 nC , respecti
matrenka [14]

Explanation:

Formula depicting relation between total flux and total charge Q is as follows.

              \phi  = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{o}}    (Gauss's Law)

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            Q = \phi \times \epsilon_{o}

                = -953 Nm^{2}/C \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12}

                = -8.4 \times 10^{-9} C

                = -8.4 nC

Therefore, when the unknown charge is q  then,

         -14.0 nC + 33.0 nC + q = -8.4 nC

               q = -27.4 nC

Thus, we can conclude that charge on the third object is -27.4 nC.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same __________.
Elan Coil [88]

None of the choices is correct.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile,
they have the same average speed.  But their velocities
are not the same unless both runners begin and end their
run at the same points.

Speed is   (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

Velocity is not.  It's something different. 
'Velocity' is not just a bigger word for 'speed'.

Anna71 [15]

(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.

Reason :

All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.
