If the straw looks to be bent but nothing really happened to it, it would be refraction.

Refraction is when the light is changes speed and bends as it travels from medium to another. The water slows down the light, and the image appears to bend.

1. An automobile traveling at 25 km/hour has kinetic energy equal to 1x 10^4J.
aleksandrvk [35]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of an automobile is 25 km/h or 6.95 m/s

Kinetic energy of the automobile is 10^4\ J

(a) Kinetic energy of automobile s given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\m=\dfrac{2K}{v^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{2\times 10^4}{(6.95)^2}\\\\m=414\ kg

(b) If the velocity of the car is increased to 45 km/hour or 12.5 m/s, new kinetic energy becomes :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 414\times (12.5)^2\\\\K=32343.75\ J

(c) If the velocity is increased to 80 km/hour, 22.23 m/s, So

K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 414\times (22.23)^2\\\\K=102293.79\ J

Hence, this is the required solution.

The fragments collided with Jupiter's atmosphere at a speed of about 60,000 m/s
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: E = 5.004*10^(20) joules

Explanation:

We do not have a lot of information about the impact, so we can assume that the energy released on the impact was the kinetic energy of the large fragment.

Remember that the kinetic energy of an object of mass M that moves at a velocity V is:

K = (M/2)*V^2

in this case, we know that the speed (that is equivalent to the velocity) is:

V = 60,000 m/s

And the mass is:

M = 1.39*10^(11) kg

Then the kinetic energy of the large fragment was:

K = (1.39*10^(11) kg/2)*( 60,000 m/s)^2 = 5.004*10^(20) joules.

Then we could conclude that the energy released on the impact was:

E = 5.004*10^(20) joules
