Answer:

When light enters from air to water i.e. it is moving from rarer to denser medium, it changes its original path as there is a change of speed of light and deflects itself towards the normal. This is known as the refraction of light and this is why a pencil in a cup of water looks as if it is broken and larger.

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air

Bess [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity of the ball = 20 m/s

angle of ramp = 22°

ball travel at a distance = 5 m

a) for friction less

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 - mgh$

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gh$

$v = \sqrt{u^2- 2 g h cos 22^0}$

$v = \sqrt{20^2- 2\times 9.8 \times 5 cos 22^0 }$

v = 17.58 m/s

b) considering the friction

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 - mgh-\mu_kmgl$

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gh-2\mu_kmgl$

$v = \sqrt{u^2- 2 g h cos 22^0-2\mu_kgl}$

$v = \sqrt{20^2- 2\times 9.8 \times 5 cos 22^0-2\times 0.15\times 9.8 \times 5 }$

v = 17.16 m/s

What is Newton's Second Law?

Rudiy27

Answer:

An object's acceleration depends on its mass and on the net force acting on it.

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.
