I think it's either A or C because on B an object's mass can't change unless it is on a different planet, and on D it doesn't make sense unless the wind is blowing.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a penny is dropped from a height of 20 meters then it will achieve an acceleration.

As acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object with respect to time. Therefore, the velocity does not remain constant.

Whereas mass of the penny will remain the same as it will not get affected when it falls. Also, there will be no change in direction of the penny as it is falling only in one direction.

The acceleration of penny is due to the force of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that the force of gravity causes it to accelerate.

a specimen of oil having an initial volume of 5000cm³ is subjected to a pressure of 10⁴N/m² and the volume decreases by 0.20cm³.
inessss [21]

Answer:

 B = 2.5 10⁸ Pa

Explanation:

The volume modulus is defined by

           B = - \frac{P}{ \frac{\Delta V}{V} }

           

The negative fate is for the module to be positive since the volume change is negative

       

It is not necessary to reduce the volumes to the SI system, since they are both in the same units

             B = - \frac{10^4}{ \frac{-0.20}{5000} } = \frac{10^4}{4 \ 10^{-5} }

             B = 2.5 10⁸ Pa

Where is the near point of an normal eye when accidentally wear a contact lens with a power of +2.0 diopters?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The near point of an eye with power of +2 dopters, u' = - 50 cm

Given:

Power of a contact lens, P = +2.0 diopters

Solution:

To calculate the near point, we need to find the focal length of the lens which is given by:

Power, P = \frac{1}{f}

where

f = focal length

Thus

f = \frac{1}{P}

f = \frac{1}{2} = + 0.5 m

The near point of the eye is the point distant such that the image formed at this point can be seen clearly by the eye.

Now, by using lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{u'}

where

u = object distance = 25 cm = 0.25 m = near point of a normal eye

u' = image distance

Now,

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{0.5} - \frac{1}{0.25}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

Solving the above eqn, we get:

u' = - 0.5 m = - 50 cm

If you place a glass cylinder in Wessin Oil, the view of the cylinder nearly disappeared when the eyedropper was full of Wessin
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. the indices of refraction matched

Explanation:

The index of refraction, or refractive

index, is a measure of how fast light

rays travel through a given medium.

Alternatively, it could be said that

the refractive index is the measure of

the bending of a light ray when

passing from one medium to

another. Mathematically, it can be

represented as a ratio between two

different velocities – the velocity of

light in vacuum and the velocity of

light in a given medium.

For example, try putting a pencil in a jar full of water. If you look at the pencil from above, it would look as though the pencil has bent in the water. That happens due to the refraction of light. It occurs because as light rays enter water, they slow down, as the speed of light in water is lower than the speed of light in air. The magnitude of how much a medium refracts a light ray is determined by the index
