Answer:

Explanation:

If angle of incidence and angle of refraction be i and r respectively ,

sini / sinr = μ ( refractive index )

sin r = sin i / μ

If angle of incidence i be constant and medium becomes denser that means μ becomes higher in value , the value of sin r will be low ( because of increase in value of denominator )

As sin r decreases , r also decreases also.

Hence when medium becomes denser , angle of refraction becomes less .

A car travels on a straight, level road. (a) Starting from rest, the car is going 38 ft/s (26 mi/h) at the end of 4.0 s. What is

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

$a)9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\ b) 12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}$

Explanation:

A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.

$a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}-0}{4 s- 0}=9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\$

$a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{76\frac{ft}{s}-38\frac{ft}{s}}{7 s- 4s}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}}{3s}=12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}$

What height will the object reach? 12 points. Will give brainliest.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

12.7 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 56.7 Km/hr

Maximum height (h) =..?

First, we shall convert 56.7 Km/hr to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (m/s) = 56.7 x 1000/3600

Initial velocity (m/s) = 15.75 m/s

Next, we shall determine the time taken to get to the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 15.75 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

v = u – gt (since the ball is going against gravity)

0 = 15.75 – 9.8 × t

Rearrange

9.8 × t = 15.75

Divide both side by 9.8

t = 15.75/9.8

t = 1.61 secs.

Finally, we shall determine the maximum height as follow

h = ½gt²

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 1.61 secs.

Height (h) =..?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 1.61²

h = 4.9 x 1.61²

h = 12.7 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 12.7 m

What happens to the mantle and the plates at each type of plate boundary? How can you use the materials to show what happens? *

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust.

According to Ohm’s law, the ratio of voltage to current in a conductor is

valina [46]

According to Ohm’s law, the ratio of voltage to current in a conductor is constant.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ohm's law defines that an electric current flowing through the conductor between two ends is directly proportionate to the voltage at these two points. The introduction of a constant proportionality, resistance, gives a simple mathematical equation describing this relationship. Particularly, Ohm's law also mentions that R is constant in this respect, i.e. not dependent on the current.

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

Where,

I is the current conduction in amperes

V is the voltage calculated by the conductor in volts

R is the conductor’s resistance in ohms.

A skier skies down a slope with an average speed of 50 km/s. How far does the skier travel in 5 minutes?

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

15000000 m

Explanation:

From the question,

Speed (S) = Distance(d)/Time(t)

S = d/t....................... Equation 1

Make d the subject of the equation

d = St..................... Equation 2

Given: S = 50 km/s = 50000 m/s, t = 5 minutes = 5*60 seconds = 300 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 2

d = 50000(300)

d = 15000000 m

Hence the skier travels 15000000 m
