Reflection- looking at yourself in a mirror and seeing the moon in the sky
Refraction- putting on your glasses in order to see more clearly and the pencil looks like it’s bent when you stick one end of it in water.

A spring has a length of .200 m when a .300 kg hangs from it,and a length of .750 m when a 1.95 kg hangs from it.what is the for
musickatia [10]

1) 29.5 N/m

2) 0.100 m

Explanation:

1)

The force constant of the spring can be found by using the fact that the force on the spring is proportional to the extension of the spring (Hooke's Law). Therefore, we can write:

\Delta F= k \Delta x

where

\Delta F = F_2 - F_1 is the change in the force on the spring, where

F_1 = m_1 g = (0.300)(9.8)=2.94 N is the force applied when the hanging mass is

m_1 = 0.300 kg

F_2 = m_2 g = (1.95)(9.8)=19.1 N is the force applied when the hanging mass is

m_2 = 1.95 kg

\Delta x=x_2 -x_1 is the change in extension of the spring, where

x_1=0.200 m is the extension of the spring when the hanging mass is 0.300 kg

x_2=0.750 m is the extension of the spring when the hanging mass is 1.95 kg

Solving for k,

k=\frac{F_2-F_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{19.1-2.94}{0.750-0.200}=29.5 N/m

2)

When the first mass is hanging on the spring, we have

F_1 = k (x_1 - x_0)

where:

F_1 is the force applied on the spring (the weight of the hanging mass)

k is the spring constant

x_1 is the extension of the spring wrt its natural length

x_0 is the natural length of the spring (the unloaded length)

Here we have

F_1=2.94 N

k = 29.5 N/m

x_1=0.200 m

Solving for x_0, we find:

x_0 = x_1 - \frac{F_1}{k}=0.200 - \frac{2.94}{29.5}=0.100 m

A fish in an aquarium with flat sides looks out at a hungry cat. To the fish, does the distance to the cat appear to be less tha
lakkis [162]

Answer:

p = -q  

he distance is equal to the current distance, so the distance does not change

Explanation:

For this exercise we can solve it using the equation of the constructor

            1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length, p the distance to the object and q the distance to the image

For a flat surface the radius is at infinity, therefore 1 / f = 0, which implies

          1 / p = - 1 / q

           p = -q

Therefore the distance is equal to the current distance, so the distance does not change

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

  1.9 km​

Explanation:

The equation for vertical motion is ...

  h(t) = -4.9t^2 +26t +20

This will have a zero near t = 5.988 seconds.*

The horizontal distance traveled in that time is ...

  (310 m/s)(5.988 s) ≈ 1856 m ≈ 1.9 km

_____
