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.

Answer:

The time constant is 1.049.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge q{t}= 0.65 q_{0}

We need to calculate the time constant

Using expression for charging in a RC circuit

q(t)=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]

Where, \dfrac{t}{RC} = time constant

Put the value into the formula

0.65q_{0}=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]

1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.65

e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.35

-\dfrac{t}{RC}=ln (0.35)

-\dfrac{t}{RC}=-1.049

\dfrac{t}{RC}=1.049

Hence, The time constant is 1.049.

A 4 kg block is pushed up an incline that makes a 30° angle with the horizontal, as shown in the figure. Once the block is pushe
Sophie [7]

Answer:

  B)  100 J

Explanation:

Assuming the distance given is measured along the incline, the vertical change in height is (5 m)(sin 30°) = 2.5 m. Then the change in potential energy is ...

  ∆PE = mg(∆h) = (4 kg)(10 m/s^2)(2.5 m) = 100 J
