Why does refraction occur?

Physics
1 answer:
irina1246 [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Let's take a glass of water as an example. Now, shine a flashlight on it. See it bend the light into a rainbow? That is a example of refraction. When the light enters the water, the water actually slows down and changes its direction, causing the light to come out the other side in a different way. Since water is very dense, it can bend the water and make it different.

2. A pebble is dropped down a well and hits the water 1.5 s later. Using the equations for motion with constant acceleration, de
kow [346]

Answer:

S = 11.025 m

Explanation:

Given,

The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the II equations of motion

                          S = ut + 1/2 gt²

Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity

                                u = 0

Therefore, the equation becomes

                            S = 1/2 gt²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                              S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²

                                 = 11.025 m

Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m

On a straight road (taken to be in the x direction) you drive for an hour at 60 km per hour, then quickly speed up to 120 km per
Luda [366]

Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\  - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\  - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\  - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
mezya [45]

Answer:

I=VRS=9V90Ω=0.1A

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance is the algebraic sum of the resistances (Equation 10.3. 2): RS=R1+R2+R3+R4+R5=20Ω+20Ω+20Ω+20Ω+10Ω=90Ω. The current through the circuit is the same for each resistor in a series circuit and is equal to the applied voltage divided by the equivalent resistance
