Answer: D Medium B is denser than Medium A because light bends more in Medium B.
Explanation: The more the light bends the less energy it has
The gain in gravitational potential energy of the mass = 100 kg m^2 / s^2.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Gravitational potential energy is an energy in which an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the Earth's surface where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.
The formula for the gravitational potential energy is the product of mass, gravity, and height.
GPE = m *g *h
where m represents mass in kg,
g represents the gravity,
h represents the height.
GPE = 5 * 10 * 2 = 100 kg m^2 / s^2.
<span>Weight of block, Wb = mass*gravity = 50*9.8 = 490 N</span>
Since block is being pulled up by a 13-degree slope
Therefore, Force which is acting parallel to the slop:
<span> F p =490 Sin </span>
= 110.2N
Force which is acting perpendicular to the slope:
<span> Fv =490 Cos</span> = 477.4 N
Net force can be given as follows:
<span>F n = (250 - 110.2 - 0.2*</span>477.4) N
<span>Fn=44.3N</span>
Now acceleration is given by the ratio of force to mass
<span>a = Fn/m</span>
<span>=44.3/50 = 0.89 ms^<span>-2</span></span>
