Answer : The pencil appears broken because it bends when it passes through water.

Explanation :

When a student placed a pencil in a cup of water, the pencil appears broken. This is due to the refraction of light.

The bending of light when it moves from one medium to another is called refraction of light. When the light travels from denser to rarer medium, it gets bends away from the normal.

While when the light travels from rarer to a denser medium, it moves towards the normal.

So, the correct option is " bends when it passes through water ".

<span>None of the choices makes a correct statement.  The third choice is close,
but misleading.

The pencil appears broken because light bends away from a straight line
when it crosses the boundary between air and water.</span>

If period of the pendulum in preceding sample problem were 24s how tall would the tower be ?
frutty [35]

Answer:

So length of pendulum is 143.129 m

Explanation:

We have given period of simple pendulum is 2 sec

We have to find the length of simple pendulum

Let the length of pendulum is l

Acceleration due to gravityg=9.8m/sec^2 is

Time period is given by T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

So 24=2\times 3.14\times  \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.8}}

\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.8}}=3.821

Squaring both side

{\frac{l}{9.8}}=14.60

l =143.129 m

So length of pendulum is 143.129 m

Jenny puts a book on her desk. she lifts the book up with her finger, using a force of 0.5N .The cover is 10cm wide .
zepelin [54]

The turning moment on the cover of the book is 0.05 Nm.

Explanation:

Given:

Force applied (F) = 0.5 N

Distance covered (d) = 10 cm

Converting Distance covered from cm to meter we get (d)= 0.1 m

To find:

Turning Moment (M) on the cover of the book = ?

Formula to be used:                                    

Turning Moment (M) = F × d

                                  = 0.5 × 0.1

                                   = 0.05 Nm

Thus the turning moment on the cover of the book is found to be 0.05 Nm

Do as physics instructor fred cauthen does and place a tennis ball close to and above the top of a basketball. drop the balls to
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

after shock

creating a system for the conservation of the energy of the basketball ball and creating a system for the tennis ball only, the conservation of energy should be applied to each system independently

Explanation:

When the two balls fall they acquire the same speed since they are accelerated by the same force, their weight and the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity. When reaching the floor the mechanical energy of the system is conserved.

Upon reaching the floor, the first ball (basketball) collides with the floor, this process is very fast, at the end of the process the basketball comes out with a velicad up and collides with the much lighter tennis ball that is still descending .

we assume that the shocks are elastic, when solving the momentary and kinetic energy findings, we find the velocities after each shock

     

In this clash the tennis ball acquires a high kinetic speed with an upward direction that makes a very high height high. Again this shock is very fast and the tennis ball almost does not move.

Here we must separate the system, creating a system for the conservation of the energy of the basketball ball and another system for the tennis ball only, the conservation of energy should be applied to each system independently

Em₀ =K = 1/2 m v²

                    Em_{f} = U = m g h

As in the elastic shock the final speed of the tennis ball is approximately 2 vo, we can calculate the maximum height

                 m g h = 1/2 m (2v₀)²

                 h = 2 v₀²/g

To reconcile this with the conservation of energy we must calculate the energy for the tennis ball at two points, the first when the crash with the tennis ball ends and at the end point at its maximum height.

A river flows with a uniform velocity vr. A person in a motorboat travels 1.22 km upstream, at which time she passes a log float
storchak [24]

Answer:

 t ’= \frac{1450}{0.6499 + 2 v_r},  v_r = 1 m/s       t ’= 547.19 s

Explanation:

This is a relative velocity exercise in a dimesion, since the river and the boat are going in the same direction.

By the time the boat goes up the river

        v_b - v_r = d / t

By the time the boat goes down the river

        v_b + v_r = d '/ t'

let's subtract the equations

       2 v_r = d ’/ t’ - d / t

       d ’/ t’ = 2v_r + d / t

       t' = \frac{d'}{ \frac{d}{t}+ 2 v_r }

In the exercise they tell us

         d = 1.22 +1.45 = 2.67 km= 2.67 10³ m

         d ’= 1.45 km= 1.45 1.³ m

at time t = 69.1 min (60 s / 1min) = 4146 s

the speed of river is v_r

      t ’= \frac{1.45 \ 10^3}{ \frac{ 2670}{4146} \  + 2 \ v_r}

      t ’= \frac{1450}{0.6499 + 2 v_r}

In order to complete the calculation, we must assume a river speed

          v_r = 1 m / s

       

let's calculate

      t ’= \frac{ 1450}{ 0.6499 + 2 \ 1}

      t ’= 547.19 s

Notice that in each conversion factor the numerator equals the denominator when units are taken into account. A common error in
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

he factor for the temporal part 1.296 107 s² = h²

 m / s² = 12960 km / h²

Explanation:

This is a unit conversion exercise.

In the unit conversion, the size of the object is not changed, only the value with respect to which it is measured is changed, for this reason in the conversion the amount that is in parentheses must be worth one.

In this case, it is requested to convert a measure km/h²

Unfortunately, it is not clearly indicated what measure it is, but the most used unit in physics is   m / s² , which is a measure of acceleration. Let's cut this down

the factor for the distance is 1000 m = 1 km

the factor for time is 3600 s = 1 h

let's make the conversion

        m / s² (1km / 1000 m) (3600 s / 1h)²

note that as time is squared the conversion factor is also squared

        m / s² = 12960 km / h²

the factor for the temporal part 1.29 107 s² = h²
