Answer:
a. 45 N. / b. 0.08 m/s^2. / c. 102 N
F = ma
F = 15(3)
F = 45 newtons
F/m = a
20/250 = a
0.08 m/s^2 = a
R = ma
R =1.5(68)
102 N
Answer:
Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.
Explanation:
Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses
The velocity of the girl is -4.8 m/s.
Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.
Thus;
0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)
0 = 240 + 50 v
-240 = 50 v
v = -240/50
v = -4.8 m/s
Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.

Answer:
A. Earth's gravity pulling down on air molecules
Explanation:
Air pressure refers to the weight of the air per unit surface area. It is the amount of gravitational force which is pulling down the molecules of air.
The common unit of air pressure is: Pascal, atm
1 atm = 101325 Pa
As the column of the air above increases, the air pressure increase. This is because with the increase in amount of air, the weight increase of the air increases. This is the reason a diver feels immense pressure in the sea and cooking takes a lot of time on hilly areas because of low air pressure.
