I believe the appropriate answer is that at the interface the ray bends way from the normal. 
When a ray enters a more dense substance or material (with higher refractive index) , it bends more towards the normal. The amount of bending depends on the change in speed such that is a substance causes the light to speed up or slow down more, it will refract more, and the other factor is the angle of incidence such that if the light is entering the substance at a greater angle, the amount of refraction will be more noticeable.

The atmosphere of Mercury and Mars are very thin. What effect does the thin atmosphere have on the temperature on the surface of
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Very hot during the day and very cold at night.

Explanation:

Due to the thin atmosphere, they have very hot climate during the day time and very cold climate at night. This happens because they contain very low amounts of greenhouse gases. These gases retain the heat at night. The atmosphere also prevents excessive light and UV rays from entering. The thin  atmosphere leads to many asteroids and comets hitting the surface of the planet. On earth, these asteroids usually, burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. These asteroid collisions cause massive fires. This in turn,  causes the temperature to increase during the day. During the night time, massive fires cannot burn due to the low temperature because of the lack of greenhouse gases.

A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 192 ft/sec. How many seconds will it take for the flare to retu
DIA [1.3K]

We use the formula,

h= ut- 16 t^2

Here, h is the  variable  represents the height of the flare  in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

0 = 192 t - 16 t^2  \\\\ 16 t( 12 - t ) =0 \\\\ t = 12 s.

Here, t= 0 neglect because it is  the time when the flare is launched.

Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.

A tennis player swings and hits the ball away. How does the force of the tennis racket affect the motion of the ball
defon

The force of the racket affects the ball's motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.

<h3>Impulse received by the ball</h3>

The impulse received by the ball through the racket affects the motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.

The ball which is initially at rest, will gain momentum after been hit with the racket.

J = ΔP = Ft

where;

  • J is the impulse received by the ball
  • ΔP is change in momentum of the ball
  • F is the applied force
  • t is the time of action

Thus, the force of the racket affects the ball's motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.

When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less dam
Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the heavier car m_1 = 1750 kg

Mass of the lighter car m_2 = 1350 kg

The speed of the lighter car just after collision can be represented as follows

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2}

v_2=\frac{(1850)(1.4)+(1450)(-1.10)-(1850)(0.250)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590+(-1595)-(462.5)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590-1595-462.5}{1450} \\\\=\frac{532.5}{1450}\\\\=0.367m/s

b) the change in the combined kinetic energy of the two-car system during this collision

\Delta K.E=(\frac{1}{2} m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v_2^2)-(\frac{1}{2} m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2u_2^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (m_1(v_1^2-u_1^2)+m_2(v_2^2-u_2^2))

substitute the value in the equation above

=\frac{1}{2} (1850((0.250)^2-(1.4)^2)+(1450((0.3670)^2-(-1.10)^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2}(11850(0.0625-1.96)+(1450(0.1347)-(1.21))\\\\= \frac{1}{2}(11850(-1.8975))+(1450(-1.0753))\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-3510.375+(-1559.185)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-5069.56)\\\\=-2534.78J

Hence, the change in combine kinetic energy is -2534.78J

A force of 60 N is applied to a skier to pull him along a horizontal surface so that his speed remains constant. If the coeffici
matrenka [14]

Answer:

1200\ \text{N}

Explanation:

F = Force on the skier = 60 N

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.05

w = Weight of skier

Force is given by

F=\mu w

\Rightarrow w=\dfrac{F}{\mu}

\Rightarrow w=\dfrac{60}{0.05}=\dfrac{6000}{5}

\Rightarrow w=1200\ \text{N}

Weight of the skier on which the force is being applied is 1200\ \text{N} .
