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 box of mass m = 1.80 kg is dropped from rest onto a massless, vertical spring with spring constant k = 2.00 ✕ 102 N/m that is
Rudik [331]

Answer:

spring compressed is 0.724 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 1.80 kg

spring constant k = 2 × 10²  N/m

initial height = 2.25 m

solution

we know from conservation of energy is

mg(h+x)  = 0.5 × k × x²       ...................1

here x is compression in spring

so put here value in equation 1 we get

1.8 × 9.8 × (2.25+x)  = 0.5 × 2× 10² × x²

solve it we get

x = 0.724344

so spring compressed is 0.724 m
