Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

A wrench 0.500 m long is applied to a nut with a force of 80.0 N. Because of the cramped space, the force must be exerted upward

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Torque, $\tau=34.6\ N.m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wrench, l = 0.5 m

Force acting on the wrench, F = 80 N

The force is acting upward at an angle of 60.0° with respect to a line from the bolt through the end of the wrench. We need to find the torque is applied to the nut. We know that torque acting on an object is equal to the cross product of force and distance. It is given by :

$\tau=Fr\ sin\theta$

$\tau=80\times 0.5\ sin(60)$

$\tau=34.6\ N.m$

So, the torque is applied to the nut is 34.6 N.m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A ball is thrown upward at a 45° angle. Inthe absence of air resistance, the ballfollows aA. tangential curve.B. sine curve.C. p

Evgesh-ka [11]

As ball is projected up in air at an angle of 45 degree without any air resistance

Let the initial speed will be v

now we will have

In x direction

$v_x = v cos45$

in y direction

$v_y = vsin45$

now displacement in x direction

$x = (vcos45)t + 0$

displacement in y direction

$y = (vsin45)t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

now from above two equations we have

$y = (vsin45)\frac{x}{vcos45} - \frac{1}{2}g(\frac{x}{vcos45})^2$

$y = xtan45 - \frac{1}{2v^2cos^245}gx^2$

so above equation is a quadratic equation and hence it will be a parabolic curve

so correct answer will be

<em>C. parabolic curve.</em>

In 1-2 sentences describe how your nose cleans the air you inhale.

svp [43]

Answer: Your nose inhales O2 and goes through these little nose hairs to keep stuff that doesn't belong in your airway, it goes through your nose into your lungs taking in O2 for your blood. The other substances that you have inhaled get absorbed elsewhere and it is converted into CO2 which is what you exhale.
