Because you see the base of the steam from the surface of the water. This creates the effect of the stream bed being elevated to the surface. This happens in water because light travels slower in water than in a vacuum.

Refraction of light from a dense medium bends the ray away from the normal. As a result objects under water appear closer to the surface than is actually is.<span> </span>

Answer: 14.52*10^6 m/s

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider the energy conservation for the electron within the coaxial cylidrical wire.

the change in potential energy for the electron; e*ΔV is  equal to energy kinetic gained for the electron so:

e*ΔV=1/2*m*v^2  v^=(2*e*ΔV/m)^1/2= (2*1.6*10^-19*600/9.1*10^-31)^1/2=14.52 *10^6 m/s

The resultant motion is given by pithagoras, since the two components (north and east) are perpendicular to each other.
They are asking you about the direction so you have to use trigonometry, finding that the direction is Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

An 80-g particle moving with an initial speed of 50 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 60-g particle moving
liubo4ka [24]

The collision is a form of inelastic collision because the it forms a single mass after is collides. So it can be solve by momentum balance

( 0.08 kg * 50 m/s ) + ( 0.06 kg * 50 m/s) = ( 0.08 + 0.06 kg ) v

V = 50 m/s

So the kinetic energy lost is

KE = 0.5 (50 m/s)^2) *( 0.14 – 0.08kg )

KE = 75 J

ddd [48]

Answer:

a) P = 370.993\,kPa, b) F = 25.948\,kN

Explanation:

a) The absolute pressure at a depth of 27.5 meters is:

P = P_{atm} + P_{man}

P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (27.5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)

P = 370.993\,kPa

b) The force exerted by the water is:

F = (P - P_{atm})\cdot A

F = (370.993\,kPa-101.3\,kPa)\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{4} \right)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2}

F = 25.948\,kN
