Light will make the object appear “broken” or in an irregular shape.

Refraction is the change in direction of waves.

(a) when rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 n of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylind

Vilka [71]

There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03

Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:
$F_f = \mu N$
where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:
$F=\mu N$
since we know that F=300 N and $\mu=0.3$ , we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:
$N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.3}=1000 N$

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is $\mu=0.03$ due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
$N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.03}=10000 N$

Based on the most widely accepted scientific explanation, elements began to form shortly after the big bang. Which of the follow

worty [1.4K]

Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

Answer: B. helium

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of

vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg

Explanation:

since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .

44 = m * 9.81m/s^2

m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg

b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)

44 = m (a +g)

44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)

44/11.18 = m

m = 3.94 kg
