Answer:

We know the momentum after the collision MUST be equal to the momentum BEFORE the collision.  

Momentum is a VECTOR quantity having both magnitude and direction.  The first ball has momentum P =m*v = 2*4 = 8 at 90degrees.  The second ball has momentum P = 1*8 = 8 at -90 or 270 degrees.  They sum to zero when you perform vector addition.

vazorg [7]
When the sound wave returns to the machine, you can measure
how long it took to return. 

(You may notice that it's working just like RADAR, which does the
same thing with radio waves instead of sound waves.)

Even if you know how long the sound took to get to the bottom and
return to the top, you can't DO anything with this information if you
don't know the SPEED of the sound through the water.  Not only
the inventory of this machine, but anyone who uses it, has to know
the speed of the sound through water in order to use the round-trip
time to calculate the depth.

Light rays from stars bend toward smaller angles as they enter Earth's atmosphere. a. Explain why this happens using Snell's law
Grace [21]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

In option (a):

  • The principle of Snells informs us that as light travels from the less dense medium to a denser layer, like water to air or a thinner layer of the air to the thicker ones, it bent to usual — an abstract feature that would be on the surface of all objects. Mostly, on the contrary, glow shifts from a denser with a less dense medium. This angle between both the usual and the light conditions rays is referred to as the refractive angle.  
  • Throughout in scenario, the light from its stars in the upper orbit, the surface area of both the Earth tends to increase because as light flows from the outer atmosphere towards the Earth, it defined above, to a lesser angle.

In option (b):

  • Rays of light, that go directly down wouldn't bend, whilst also sun source which joins the upper orbit was reflected light from either a thicker distance and flex to the usual, following roughly the direction of the curve of the earth.  
  • Throughout the zenith specific position earlier in this thread, astronomical bodies appear throughout the right position while those close to a horizon seem to have been brightest than any of those close to the sky, and please find the attachment of the diagram.
