Under what conditions will light bend?

Light will not bend under any conditions. It always proceeds straight
along its path.

The path can bend ... either abruptly, at an interface between two
media with different refractive indices, or continuously, when the
index of refraction changes along a line perpendicular to the path
(as it does in the Earth's atmosphere).

Light CAN in fact bend, but maybe not on Earth. At least as far as I know. Near a black hole, where gravitational force is so strong that even light is sucked, light is bent do
Ue to the gravitational force. This is how astronomers find and identify black holes.

During a marathon race, a runner’s blood flow increases to 10.0 times her resting rate. Her blood’s viscosity has dropped to 95.

Phoenix [80]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the Poiseuilles laminar flow law, with which the stationary laminar flow ΦV of an incompressible and uniformly viscous liquid (also called Newtonian fluid) can be determined through a cylindrical tube of constant circular section. Mathematically this can be expressed:

$Q = \frac{\Delta P \pi r^4}{8\eta l}$

Where:

$\eta_i =$ are the viscosities of the concrete before and after the increase

l = Length of the vessel

$r_1, R_2$ = Radio of the vessel before and after the increase

$\Delta P$ = Change in the pressure

$Q_{1,2} =$ The rates of flow before and after he increase

Our values are given as:

$Q_2 = 10Q_1 \rightarrow$ 10 times her resting rate

$\eta_2 = 0.95\eta_1$ 95% of its normal value

$\Delta P_2 = 1.5\Delta P_1$ Increase of 50%

Plugging known information to get

$Q_1 = \frac{\Delta P \pi r^4}{8\eta l}$

$Q_1 8\eta_1 l = \Delta P_1 \pi r_1^4$

$r_1^4 = \frac{Q_1 8\eta_1 l}{\Delta P_1 \pi}$

$r_1 = (\frac{Q_1 8\eta_1 l}{\Delta P_1 \pi})^{1/4}$

$r_2 = (\frac{Q_2 8\eta_2 l}{\Delta P_2 \pi})^{1/4}$

$r_2 = (\frac{10Q_18 \times 0.95\eta_1 l}{1.5\Delta P_1 \pi})^{1/4}$

$r_2 = 1.586r_1$

Therefore the factor of average radio of her blood vessels increased is 1.589 the initial factor after the increase.

What traction of the radioisotope<br>remains in the body after one day?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

The fraction of radioisotope left after 1 day is $(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{\tau}}$ , with the half-life expressed in days

Explanation:

The question is incomplete: however, we can still answer as follows.

The mass of a radioactive sample after a time t is given by the equation:

$m(t)=m_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{\tau}}$

where:

$m_0$ is the mass of the radioactive sample at t = 0

$\tau$ is the half-life of the sample

This means that the mass of the sample halves after one half-life.

We can rewrite the equation as

$\frac{m(t)}{m_0}=(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{\tau}}$

And the term on the left represents the fraction of the radioisotope left after a certain time t.

Therefore, after t = 1 days, the fraction of radioisotope left in the body is

$\frac{m(1)}{m_0}=(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{\tau}}$

where the half-life $\tau$ must be expressed in days in order to match the units.

Which transition by an electron will release the greatest amount of energy? hurry!

Sphinxa [80]

highest energy level to the ground state.

Explanation:

The transition from the highest energy level to the ground state.

An electron has a discrete amount of energy accrued to it in any energy level it belongs to.

Electrons can transition between one energy level or the other.

When electrons change state, they either release or absorb energy.
When an atom absorbs energy, they move from their ground to final state which is consistent with the energy of the final state.
When electrons release energy, they move from excited state to their ground state.
Electrons will release the greatest amount of energy when they move from the highest energy level to the ground state.

Substance A has a heat capacity that is much greater than that of substance B. If 10.0 g of substance A initially at 30.0 ∘C is

astra-53 [7]

Explanation:

In a heat exchange, the temperature change is inversely proportional to the specific heat capacity. Since substance A has a heat capacity that is much greater than that of substance B, the temperature change of substance A will be less than the temperature change of substance B. Therefore, the final temperature is closer to that of $30^\circ C$ than $80^\circ C$ .
