Physics
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

If light enters any substance with a higher refractive index (such as from air into glass) it slows down. The light bends towards the normal line. If light travels enters into a substance with a lower refractive index (such as from water into air) it speeds up. The light bends away from the normal line.

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 2.00 m/s. After 5.00s what is the speed of the mail
grandymaker [24]
The acceleration of gravity (on Earth) is 9.8 m/s² downward.

This means that every falling object gains 9.8 m/s more downward speed
every second that it falls.

In 5 seconds of falling, it gains (5 x 9.8 m/s) = 49 m/s of downward speed.

If it was already descending at 2.0 m/s at the beginning of the 5 sec,
then at the end of the 5 sec it would be descending at

                                 (2 m/s  +  49 m/s)  =  51 m/s .
