Answer:

I think the answer is 'it is refracted'

Explanation:

Much of the light will pass through the glass, because glass is transparent. The light when it passes from one substance into another substance is called refraction.

How are metals identified i the periodic table??

zaharov [31]

Answer:

okay here is a thing I learned when I was younger in my middle school:

Explanation:

my teacher would tell me that metals are considered a weak metals are on the left side and the good metals are located on the right side because the only way I remembered was the right means it is really strong and the left is weak and not that supportive. but I think that's how I still think it is or other people may have their own opinions. but hope this helped out with your question!

A rock with a mass of 540 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 342 g when submerged in water. (a) What mass of water is

AleksandrR [38]

(a) 198 g

When the rock is submerged into the water, there are two forces acting on the rock:

- its weight, equal to $W=mg$ (m=mass, g=acceleration of gravity), downward

- the buoyant force, equal to $B=m_w g$ ( $m_w$ =mass of water displaced), upward

So the resultant force, which is the apparent weight of the rock (W'), is

$W'=W-B$

which can be rewritten as

$m'g = mg-m_w g$

where m' is the apparent mass of the rock. Using:

m = 540 g

m' = 342 g

we find the mass of water displaced

$m_w = m-m'=540 g-342 g=198 g$

(b) $1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$

If the rock is completely submerged, the volume of the rock corresponds to the volume of water displaced.

The volume of water displaced is given by

$V_w = \frac{m_w}{\rho_w}$

where

$m_w = 198 g = 0.198 kg$ is the mass of the water displaced

$\rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3$ is the density of the water

Substituting,

$V_w = \frac{0.198}{1000}=1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$

And so this is also the volume of the rock.

(c) $2727 kg/m^3$

The average density of the rock is given by

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

where

m = 540 g = 0.540 kg is the mass of the rock

$V=1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$ is its volume

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\rho = \frac{0.540 kg}{1.98\cdot 10^{-4}}=2727 kg/m^3$

One of the harmonics on a string 1.30m long has a frequency of 15.60 Hz. The next higher harmonic has a frequency of 23.40 Hz. F

Alja [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{(a) 7.800 Hz; (b) 20.3 m/s; 40.6 m/s; 60.8 m/s}}$

Explanation:

a) Fundamental frequency

A harmonic is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

$\dfrac{\text{23.40 Hz}}{\text{15.60 Hz}} = \dfrac{1.500}{1} \approx \dfrac{3}{2}$

$f = \dfrac{\text{24.30 Hz}}{3} = \textbf{7.800 Hz}$

b) Wave speed

(i) Calculate the wavelength

In a fundamental vibration, the length of the string is half the wavelength.

$\begin{array}{rcl}L & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\text{1.30 m} & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\lambda & = & \text{2.60 m}\\\end{array}$

(b) Calculate the speed s

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{1}& = & f_{1}\lambda\\& = & \text{7.800 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{20.3 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{2}& = & f_{2}\lambda\\& = & \text{15.60 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{40.6 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{3}& = & f_{3}\lambda\\& = & \text{23.40 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{60.8 m/s}\\\end{array}$

If a dog walks north for 10 meters and then east for 10 meters, what is the direction of its displacement?

Katyanochek1 [597]

The direction of its displacement wil be

c.northeast

In fact, the dog walks north for 10 meters and east for another 10 meters. The path of the dog can be represented with two vectors, A pointing north (of magnitude 10 meters) and B pointing east (of magnitude 10 meters). The direction of the resultant vector (due to east) will be given by

$tan \theta =\frac{A}{B}=\frac{10}{10}=1$

$\theta=tan^{-1} (1)=45^{\circ}$

and the direction will be north-east.

To measure the acceleration due to gravity on a distant planet, an astronaut hangs a 0.070-kg ball from the end of a wire. The w

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

g = 1.64m/s²

Explanation:

1.5m in 0.078s

V = 15 / 0.078

= 19.23m/s

Tension = mg

μ = 3.10 × 10⁻⁴

T = V²μ

mg = V²μ

g = V²μ / m

g = ((19.23)²(3.10 × 10⁻⁴)) / (0.070)

g = 1.64m/s²
