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>

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on
lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N

How do you solving kinematic equations for horizontal projectiles?
daser333 [38]
See projectiles are very simple unless you understand its core concepts....projectile is nothing just mixture of upward motion and horizontal motion....
THE KEY IS FORGET THE NAME PROJECTILE...ITS JUST HORIZONTAL MOTION + VERTICAL MOTION

Here is a force diagram of an object in water. The weight of the object is 15N and the buoyancy force is 17N. Will the object fl
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Object will float.

Explanation:

Total force on the body = Weight of body + Buoyancy force on body.

 Weight of body = 15 N downwards = 15 N

 Buoyancy force on body = 17 N upwards = -17 N

 Total force on body = 15 - 17 = -2 N = 2 N upwards

 So, the body will float.

Object will float.

A ball is dropped from a building taking 3sec to fall to the ground. Calculate:
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

h = 44.1 m

Explanation:

Data:

  • Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) = 3 s
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
  • Height (h) = ?

==================================================================

Final Velocity

Use formula:

  • Vf = g * t

Replace:

  • Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 3s

Multiply:

  • Vf = 29.4 m/s

==================================================================

Height

Use formula:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{g*(t)^{2}}{2}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(3s)^{2}}{2}}

Multiply time squared:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*9s^{2}}{2}}

Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{88.2m}{2}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{h=44.1\ m}

What is the velocity when falling to the ground?

The final velocity is <u>29.4 meters per seconds.</u>

How high is the building?

The height of the building is <u>44.1 meters.</u>
