If a spear is thrown at a fish swimming in a lake, it will often miss the fish completely. Why does this happen?

Answer:

C. Refraction of light between the air and water causes the fish to appear in a different location

Explanation:

When you something in the water you see that the objects appear shallower or the real position and the apparent position differ. This happens due to refraction of light. Refraction is a phenomenon of light where it bends when it moves from one medium to another.

In this scenario when the observer looks at the fish, the position of the fish seen to the observer will be different than its actual position because of which the spear will miss the fish most often.

Combine Newton's 2nd law and Hooke's law for a spring to find the acceleration of the block a(t) as a function of time. Express
Inga [223]

Answer:

a=-\dfrac{k}{m}x(t)

Explanation:

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

From Hooke's law,

F = -kx(t)

where k is the spring constant and x(t) is the displacement function measured from the origin. The negative sign indicates the force acts in opposite direction to the displacement. In fact, it is a restoring force; it acts to return the spring to its original undisturbed position.

Since both forces are the same,

F = ma= - kx(t)

a=-\dfrac{k}{m}x(t)

The implication of this is that the acceleration is proportional to the displacement but opposite to it. That last statement is the definition of a simple harmonic motion which this is.

The ratio \dfrac{k}{m} is a constant except in situations where the mass is varying (say, the mass on the spring is a decaying material).

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
An activity that is relatively short in time <10 seconds and has few repetitions predominantly uses the ATP/PC energy system. The cellular respiration procedure that changes food energy into ATP which is a form of energy is largely reliant on oxygen obtainability. During exercise the source and request of oxygen obtainable to muscle is unnatural by period and strength and by the individual’s cardiorespiratory suitability level. 
Steps of the ATP-PC system:


1. Primarily, ATP kept in the myosin cross-bridges which is microscopic contractile parts of muscle is broken down to issue energy for muscle shrinkage.  This action consents the by-products of ATP breakdown which are the adenosine diphosphate and one single phosphate all on its own.


2. Phosphocreatine is then broken down by the enzyme creatine kinase into creatine and phosphate.


3. The energy free in the breakdown of PC permits ADP and Pi to rejoin creating more ATP.  This newly made ATP can now be broken down to issue energy to fuel activity.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

D:

Explanation:

Conduction because the heat energy is transferring directly from the separate metals convection involves "currents" like in a liquid or a gas. When you turn on the stove with a pot of water on the burner the water at the bottom of the pot gets heated first almost immediately this water rises and cooler water falls. Basically the water is "stirring" or shifting, exchanging the heat energy this is why water heats so evenly.

You have a 2m long wire which you will make into a thin coil with N loops to generate a magnetic field of 3mT when the current i
Anni [7]

Answer:

<em>radius of the loop =  7.9 mm</em>

<em>number of turns N ≅ 399 turns</em>

Explanation:

length of wire L= 2 m

field strength B = 3 mT = 0.003 T

current I = 12 A

recall that field strength B = μnI

where n is the turn per unit length

vacuum permeability μ  = 4\pi *10^{-7}  T-m/A = 1.256 x 10^-6 T-m/A

imputing values, we have

0.003 = 1.256 x 10^−6 x n x 12

0.003 = 1.507 x 10^-5 x n

n = 199.07 turns per unit length

for a length of 2 m,

number of loop N = 2 x 199.07 = 398.14 ≅ <em>399 turns</em>

since  there are approximately 399 turns formed by the 2 m length of wire, it means that each loop is formed by 2/399 = 0.005 m of the wire.

this length is also equal to the circumference of each loop

the circumference of each loop = 2\pi r

0.005 = 2 x 3.142 x r

r = 0.005/6.284 = 7.9*10^{-4} m = 0.0079 m =<em> 7.9 mm</em>
