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>

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Though fiber active cable is based on the concept of internal reflection but it is achieved by refractive index which transmit data through fast traveling pulses of light. It has a layer of glass and insulating casing called “cladding,”and this is is wrapped around the central fiber thereby causing light to continuously bounce back from the walls of the Cable.

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 14 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h =
crimeas [40]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Velocity of rock after 2 seconds = 6.56 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

 We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Here height of rock in meters, h = 14t-1.86t^2

Comparing both the equations

    We will get initial velocity = 14 m/s(already given) and \frac{1}{2} a = -1.86

     So,  Acceleration, a = -3.72 m/s^2

 Now we have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

 When time is 2 seconds we need to find final velocity.

     v = 14 - 3.72 * 2 = 6.56 m/s.

  So, Velocity of rock after 2 seconds = 6.56 m/s

A cyclist moving with a constant velocity of 6.0 m/s forward passes a car that is just starting. If the car has a constant accel
sergiy2304 [10]

After 6 seconds, the car will surpass the cyclist.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The speed of the cyclist = 6 m/s.

Let after time t sec, the car will overtake the cyclist.

So, distance covered by the cyclist in t sec = 6t m

Initial velocity of the car is 0 m/s, because the car is just starting.

Acceleration of the car =2 m/s^2.

Final velocity of the car =6 m/s.

So to cover the distance 6t, the time required by the car = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times t^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times t^2

6t = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times t^2\\6t = t^2

t =6 sec

So, after 6 seconds, the car will surpass the cycle.
