WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN LIGHT BENDS AS IT MOVES FROM ONE SUBSTANCE TO ANOTHER?

The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another is called refraction. The angle and wavelength at which the light enters a substance and the density of that substance determine how much the light is refracted.

What is linear expansivity?​will receive brainliest if answered correctly​
harina [27]

Answer:

Linear expansivity is the fractional increase in length of a specimen of a solid, per unit rise in temperature. If a specimen increases in length from l1 to l2 when its temperature is raised θ°, then the expansivity (α) is given by: l2 = l1(1 + αθ). This relationship assumes that α is independent of temperature. This is not, in general, the case and a more accurate relationship is: l2 = l1(1 + aθ + bθ2 + cθ3…), where a, b, and c are constants.

l2 = l1(1 + αθ).

l2 = l1(1 + aθ + bθ2 + cθ3…),

Romashka [77]
In energy production, possible sources are fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas. Other sources are renewable like hydro, solar and wind. Radioactive elements are also possible sources for nuclear energy. However, energy will always dissipate. Industries could never get 100% of the energy from their sources. In ideal cases like the Carnot engine, we can only get 60% of the energy. That is ideal. In actual, we get even lesser than this for about 40%. 

When the efficiency is 60%, the used energy is 60%, while the wasted energy is 40%. Therefore, the wasted energy is

1000 BTU (0.40) - 400 BTU

The waste energy in the form of electricity is 400 BTU.

A particle moves along the x-axis according to x(t)=10t−2t²m. (a) What is the instantaneous velocity at t = 2 s and t = 3 s? (b)
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

a) v(2) = 2m/s, v(3) = -2m/s

b) speed at t = 2s is 2m/s

speed at t = 3s is 2m/s

c) 0 m/s

Explanation:

We can take the derivative of x(t) to find the equation of velocity

v(t) = x'(t) = 10 - 4t

(a) v(2) = 10 - 4*2 = 10 - 8 = 2 m/s

v(3) = 10 - 4*3 = 10 - 12 = -2 m/s

(b) The speed would be the same as velocity without the direction

speed at t = 2s is 2m/s

speed at t = 3s is 2m/s

(c) The average velocity between t = 2s and t = 3s is distance it travels over period of time

v_a = \frac{s(3) - s(2)}{\Delta t} = \frac{10*3 - 2*3^2 - (10*2 - 2*2^2)}{3 - 2}

v_a = \frac{12 - 12}{1} = 0/1 = 0 m/s
