Answer:

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>B.) the speed decreases</u>.

Explanation:

<em>When the light passes from one medium to another, its speed changes</em>.

<em>The light is affected by the medium it passes through, so that the denser the medium is</em>, the lower the speed of light. <em>When crossing a diamond, for example, which is a very dense medium</em>, the speed of light is reduced by a factor of 2,417.

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>B.) the speed decreases</u>.

Vinvika [58]
Hey there!

A ball rolls 3 times. If she adds the three measurements and divides it by 3, it means that this is the average speed. The average speed is found by adding all measurements and dividing by the amount of numbers.

I hope this helps!

In a power plant, pipes transporting superheated vapor are very common. Superheated vapor flows at a rate of 0.3 kg/s inside a p
grigory [225]

Answer:h=160.84 W/m^2-K

Explanation:

Given

mass flow rate=0.3 kg/s

diameter of pipe=5 cm

length of pipe=10 m

Inside temperature=22

Pipe surface =100

Temperature drop=30

specific heat of vapor(c)=2190 J/kg.k

heat supplied Q=mc\Delta T=0.3\times 2190\times (30)

Heat due to convection =hA(100-30)

A=\pi d\cdot L

A=\pi 0.05\times 10=1.571 m^2

Q_{convection}=h\times 1.571\times (100-22)=122.538 h

Q=Q_{convection}

19,710=122.538 h

h=160.84 W/m^2-K

A ball is thrown with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. which quantity has a magnitude
enot [183]
The quantity that has a magnitude of zero when the ball is at the highest point in its trajectory is the vertical velocity.

In fact, the motion of the ball consists of two separate motions:
- the horizontal motion, on the x-axis, which is a uniform motion with constant velocity v_x=v_0 cos 30^{\circ}, where v_0=35 m/s
- the vertical motion, on the y-axis, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2 directed downwards, and with initial velocity v_y=v_= sin 30^{\circ}. Due to the presence of the acceleration g on the vertical direction (pointing in the opposite direction of the initial vertical velocity), the vertical velocity of the ball decreases as it goes higher, up to a point where it becomes zero and it reverses its direction: when the vertical velocity becomes zero, the ball has reached its maximum height.

3. A 75kg man sits at one end of a uniform seesaw pivoted at its center, and his 24kg son sits at the
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The wife have to sit at 0.46 L from the middle point of the seesaw.

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the seesaw and the loads acting over it.

And by the studying of the Newton's law we can find the equation useful to find the distance of the mother sitting on the seesaw with respect to the center ot the pivot point.

A logical intuition will give us the idea that the mother will be on the side of her son to make the balance.

The maximum momentum with respect to the pivot point (0) will be:

M=75 *\frac{L}{2}

Where L/2 is the half of the distance of the seesaw

Therefore the other loads ( mom + son) must be create a momentum equal to the maximum momentum.

If the voltage amplitude across an 8.50-nF capacitor is equal to 12.0 V when the current amplitude through it is 3.33 mA, the fr
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Frequency will be equal to 5.20 kHz

So option (c) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given value of capacitance C=8.5nF=8.5\times 10^{-9}f

Potential difference across capacitor V = 12 volt

Current through capacitor i=3.33mA=3.33\times 10^{-3}A

Capacitive reactance will be equal to X_c=\frac{V}{i}=\frac{12}{3.33\times 10^{-3}A}=3603.60ohm

Capacitive reactance is equal to X_c=\frac{1}{\omega C}

3603.60=\frac{1}{\omega\times  8.5\times 10^{-9}}

\omega =32647.091rad/sec

2\pi f=32647.091

f=5198.98Hz

f = 5.20 kHz

So frequency will be equal to 5.20 kHz

So option (c) will be correct answer
