Answer : The pencil appears broken because it bends when it passes through water.

Explanation :

When a student placed a pencil in a cup of water, the pencil appears broken. This is due to the refraction of light.

The bending of light when it moves from one medium to another is called refraction of light. When the light travels from denser to rarer medium, it gets bends away from the normal.

While when the light travels from rarer to a denser medium, it moves towards the normal.

So, the correct option is " bends when it passes through water ".

<span>None of the choices makes a correct statement.  The third choice is close,
but misleading.

The pencil appears broken because light bends away from a straight line
when it crosses the boundary between air and water.</span>

Car mass of 1167 kg accelerates on a flat highway from 10.0 m/s to 28.0 m/s. how much work does thr car's engine do on the car ?
jolli1 [7]
For the work-energy theorem, the work done by the engine on the car is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the car:
W= K_f-K_i=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 -  \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2
where m=1167 kg is the mass of the car, v_i=10.0 m/s is the initial speed and v_f=28.0 m/s is the final speed.

Putting numbers into the equation, we find:
W= \frac{1}{2}(1176 kg)(28.0m/s)^2- \frac{1}{2}(1167 kg)(10.0 m/s)^2=4.0 \cdot 10^5 J

Explain the runaway refrigerator effect and the role it may have played in the evolution of Mars.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The runway refrigerator effect and the role it would have played in the evolution of Mars can be summarized as follows

The weak gravity of Mars does not allow it have a gaseous atmosphere over it. The thin atmosphere would have lead to lower temperature on mars.In in turn would have lead to freezing of gases thus lowering the temperature further. The thinner atmosphere and colder temperature would lead to loss of most water in the planet.

Suppose you have two small pith balls that are 5.5 cm apart and have equal charges of -29 nc?
zysi [14]
The question is missing, however, I guess the problem is asking for the value of the force acting between the two balls.

The Coulomb force between the two balls is:
F= k_e \frac{ q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where k_e=8.99\cdot10^9~N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant, q_1=q_2=29~nC=29\cdot 10^{-9}~C is the intensity of the two charges, and r=5.5~cm=0.055~m is the distance between them.

Substituting these numbers into the equation, we get
F=2.5~10^{-3}~N

The force is repulsive, because the charges have same sign and so they repel each other.
