The correct choice is

A. It moves along straight lines in air and changes direction when it enters water.

This is because of phenomenon of refraction which  a ray of light experience when it moves from one medium to another medium. The light ray bends away  from the normal to the surface if it travels from denser to rarer medium. The light ray bends towards from the normal to the surface if it travels from rarer to denser medium.

A hot-air balloon and its basket are accelerating upward at 0.265 m/s2, propelled by a net upward force of 688 N. A rope of negl
Sergeu [11.5K]

Question:<em> </em><em>Find, separately, them mass of the balloon and the basket (incidentally, most of the balloon's mass is air)</em>

Answer:

The mass of the balloon is 2295 kg, and the mass of the basket is 301 kg.

Explanation:

Let us call the mass of the balloon m_1 and the mass of the basket m_2, then according to newton's second law:

(1). \:F = (m_1+m_2)a,

where a =0.265m/s^2 is the upward acceleration, and F = 688N is the net propelling force (counts the gravitational force).

Also, the tension T in the rope is 79.8 N more than the basket's weight; therefore,

(2). \:T = m_2g+79.8

and this tension must equal

T -m_2g =m_2a

(3). \:T = m_2g +m_2a

Combining equations (2) and (3) we get:

m_2a = 79.8

since a =0.265m/s^2, we have

\boxed{m_2 = 301.13kg}

Putting this into equation (1) and substituting the numerical values of F and a, we get:

688N = (m_1+301.13kg)(0.265m/s^2)

\boxed{m_1 = 2295 kg}

Thus, the mass of the balloon and the basket is  2295 kg and 301 kg respectively.

There are three long parallel wires arranged so that, in cross-section, they occupy the points of an equilateral triangle. Is th
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Yes, there is such a way.

Explanation:

If currents flow in the same direction in two or more long parallel wires, there will be an attractive force between the wires. If the current flows in different directions, there will be a repulsive force between the wires. In this case, these three parallel wires, can be be made to carry current in the same direction, creating an attractive force between all three wires.

Note that it is not possible to have at the least one of them carry current in the opposite direction and still have an attractive current between them.

Below is the data from a gas law experiment comparing the pressure and the volume of a gas at a given temperature.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The combined gas equation relates three variables pressure, temperature and volume when the number of moles is constant.

The equation is PV / T = constant. Which is valid for a fixed number of moles of the gas.

You can derive the combined gas equation from the combination of Bolye's law, Charles' law and Gay-Lussac's law, which needs some algebra.

A 1000-kg car is moving at 30 m/s around a horizontal unbanked curve whose diameter is 0.20 km. What is the magnitude of the fri
omeli [17]

Answer:

4500 N

Explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular motion it will feel an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, this acceleration is:

a = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circumference:

Therefore, a body with mass m, will feel a force f:

f = m v^2/r

Therefore we need another force to keep the body(car) from sliding, this will be given by friction, remember that friction force is given a the normal times a constant of friction mu, that is:

fs = μN = μmg

The car will not slide if     f = fs,   i.e.

fs = μmg =  m v^2/r

That is, the magnitude of the friction force must be (at least) equal to the force due to the centripetal acceleration

fs = (1000 kg)  * (30m/s)^2 / (200 m) = 4500 N
