Its basically like a barrier same way and ant is able to walk on water it distributes it weight evenly on the water surface so it doesnt break the water tension same thing applies with a paper chip place it so it doesnt break the waters tension and itll float idk if this helped you understand

Surface Tension. Molecules on the surface experience cohesion, this means molecules that are the same material stick together.

In diving to a depth of 308 m, an elephant seal also moves 579 m due east of his starting point. What is the magnitude of the se

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

655.82m

Explanation:

By tracing the distances traveled from 308m down in the water and then 579m to the east, a <u>right triangle </u>can be formed and the displacement can be found by the Pythagorean theorem. This is shown in the attached image (the red line is the displacement).

One leg of the triangle will be the 308m

and the second leg of the triangle will be the 579m.

If we call the displacement $x$ , by the pythagorean theorem:

$x=\sqrt{308^2+579^2}$

$x=\sqrt{94,864+335,241}$

$x=\sqrt430,105}$

$x=655.82m$

The displacement is 655.82m

Light traveling from water to a gemstone strikes the surface at an angle of 80.0º and has an angle of refraction of 15.2º . (a)

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The the speed of light in the gemstone is $v= 0.599*10^8 m/s$

The unreasonable thing about this is that the speed of ligth in the gemstone is too low

the speed is 19% of the speed of light which is very low

One main unreasonable or inconsistent factor is that the assumption that the differnce between the angle of incidence and angle of refraction is very large

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence $i = 80^o$

The angle of refraction $r = 15.2^o$

From Snell's law we have ,

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

Where $n_1$ is the refractive index of the first medium (water) with a constant value of $n_1 = 1..333$

$n_2$ is the refractive index of the second medium (gem stone)

$\theta_1$ is the angle between the beam and perpendicular surface of the first medium

$\theta_2$ is the angle between the beam an the perpendicular surface of the second medium

Making the $n_2$ the subject of the formula

$n_2 = n_1 \frac{sin \theta_1}{sin \theta_2}$

$= (1.333)(\frac{sin (80.0)}{sin 15.2} )$

$= 5.007$

Generally refractive index of a material is mathematically represented

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

Where c is the speed light

v is the speed of light observed in a medium

Making v the subject

$v = \frac{c}{n}$

substituting value for gem stone

$v = \frac{3.0*10^8}{5.007}$

$v= 0.599*10^8 m/s$

Light absorbed by a chlorophyll a causes A) an electron to move from the photon to the chlorophyll. B) an electron to move from

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

B) an electron to move from ground state to an excited state.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs electromagnetic radiation of the visible spectrum that is used in process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll's function is to absorb electromagnetic radiation of the visible spectrum and it absorbs blue color radiation the best and green the worst as it reflects it. It absorbs electromagnetic radiation by absorbing the energy of the photon of light by a process called charge separation.

Charge separation is the process by which an electron gets to a higher energy state by absorbing the energy of a photon.

An object is moving east with a constant speed of 30 m/s for 5 seconds. What is the object's acceleration

pentagon [3]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 6 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{v}{t} \\$

where

v is the velocity

t is the time

We have

$a = \frac{30}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
