Answer:

$\boxed{Air}$

Explanation:

Light travels faster in the air than in glass because glass has a higher refractive index than air.

glass is solid and more packed than air, so the light will have more space and less resistance in the air to travel than in glass.

A shopper weighs 4.00 kg of apples on a supermarket scale whose spring obeys Hooke's law and notes that the spring stretches a d

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

a) 0.040625 m

b) 5.02272 J

Explanation:

k = Spring constant

x = Stretched length

F = Force

$F=kx\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{F}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{4\times 9.81}{0.025}\\\Rightarrow k=1569.6\ N/m$

$F=kx\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{F}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{6.5\times 9.81}{1569.6}\\\Rightarrow x=0.040625\ m$

Extension of the spring would be 0.040625 m

b) Work done in a spring

$W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow W=\frac{1}{2}\times 1569.6\times 0.08^2\\\Rightarrow W=5.02272\ J$

The work done by the shopper to stretch this spring a total distance of 8.00 cm is 5.02272 J

Which behavior describes two sides of a wave moving at different speeds upon entering a medium at an angle? diffraction reflecti

alekssr [168]

The answer is refraction. When a wave from one medium enters another medium, its direction changes due to the change of speed (phase velocity changes but frequency remains the same). The wave slows down when it enters a denser medium from the one it came from hence its path seems to bend.
