Answer:

bending of light

Explanation:

Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Refraction of light is the bending of light when it passes from rarer(less dense) medium to a denser medium or vice versa.

Explanation:  The bending of light happens as light travels at different speed in different medium for example light travels slower in water than compared to air as water is denser than air. That is why when you put a pen in a glass cup you will notice that the pen is slightly shifted (the part of the pen above water is travelling at a different speed than the part of the pen underwater).

Hope this you understand it

What is Archimedes principle?​
trasher [3.6K]

Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is subjected to an upwards force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. This is a first condition of equilibrium. We consider that the above force, called force of buoyancy, is located in the centre of the submerged hull that we call centre of buoyancy.

A ___________ mutation occurs when a base in the DNA sequence is replaced by a different base.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Missense Mutation

Explanation:

The types if mutations include: Missense mutation. This type of mutation is a change in one DNA base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. An insertion changes the number of DNA bases in a gene by adding a piece of DNA.

. A driver travels 4.25 km. in two minutes. If the driver’s initial velocity is 20m/s, what is the acceleration?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

32.9166667 m / s^2

Explanation:

s = 4.25km (1000m / 1km)

= 4250m

u = 20m/s

delta T = 20min (60sec / 1min)

= 1200s

Use formula s = ut + (1/2)at^2

4250m = 20m/s * 1200s + (1/2)a*1200s^2

Rearrange it to find a

a = (s-ut)  / (1/2 * t^2)

a = (4250m - 20m/s*1200s) / (1/2 * 1200s^2)

a = -32.9166667 m / s^2

According to the formula for stopping distance, how many feet will it take you to stop, from 60 mph?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

534 ft

Explanation:

given,

speed of the vehicle = 60 mph

1 mph = 0.447 m/s

60 mph = 60 x 0.447 = 26.82 m/s

stopping distance = ?

Stopping distance of the car is equal to the distance traveled in the reaction time and the braking distance.

Reaction time of a common person = 1.5 s

taking coefficient of friction of the road = 0.3

using equation of stopping sight distance

S.D = RD + BD

RD is Reaction distance

RD = v t_r

RD = 26.82 x 1.5

RD = 40.23 m

BD is the braking distance

BD = \dfrac{v^2}{2\mu g}

BD = \dfrac{26.82^2}{2\times 0.3\times 9.8}

BD = 122.33 m

Stopping sight distance

SD = 40.23 + 122.33

SD = 162.56 m

1 m = 3.28 ft

162.56 m = 162.56 x 3.28

                = 533.20 ft ≈ 534 ft

hence, the stopping distance will be equal to 534 ft

A 1500 kg car decelerates from an initial velocity of 19 m/s to a skidding stop. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.100
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

19.4 seconds

Explanation:

We have:

m: mass of the car = 1500 kg

v₀: is the initial speed = 19 m/s    

v_{f}: is the final speed = 0 (it stops)

\mu_{k}: is the coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.100

First, we need to find the acceleration by using the second Newton's law:

\Epsilon F = ma              

-\mu_{k}N = ma

-\mu_{k}mg = ma

Solving for a:

a = -\mu_{k}g = -0.1*9.81 m/s^{2} = -0.981 m/s^{2}

Now we can find the time until it stops:

v_{f} = v_{0} + at

Solving for t:

t = \frac{v_{f} - v_{0}}{a} = \frac{-(19 m/s)}{-0.981 m/s^{2})} = 19.4 s

 

Therefore, the time until it stops is 19.4 seconds.

I hope it helps you!
