Mr. Mann's students were studying the properties of light in science class. He told them to put a pencil in a beaker of water, m

ake observations, and then draw what they observed. One group drew the picture seen here. Mr. Mann explained that when light passes from air into the water, the light waves bend, or ___________, and the pencil appears to be broken.

C) refract

Explanation:

When light passes from air into water, the light waves will bend or they refract and the pencil will appear to be broken.

In normal space, light travels along a straight path with no alteration of the path along which it travels.

  • When light crosses the boundary from a denser to a less dense medium, it is refracted.
  • Refraction implies that the angle of the light is bent.
  • This is because the new medium causes the light rays to slow down compared to the speed it was coming forth with.

A soil sample contains 55 percent sand, 25 percent clay, and 20 percent silt. What type of soil is present in the sample?
Step2247 [10]

Answer: D (sandy clay loam)

Explanation:

It is because it is 55 percent sand, and 25 percent clay, so it has to be more sandy than silty. Much of it is by sand, so it is sandy. Loam is a fertile soil of clay and sand, so it is D.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

C. Surface area

Explanation:

The rate of  chemical reaction depends on various factors such as:

  • concentration and pressure
  • nature of reactants
  • temperature
  • surface area
  • presence of catalyst, etc.

Effect of surface area of reactants: the rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the the area of contact of the reacting substances. This is especially important when one or more of the reactants are solids., because only the particles of the solid that are exposed are able to take part in the reaction at each instant of time. Therefore, the greater the surface area of the solid reactant particles the faster the reaction.

The surface area of solid reactants can be increased by grinding or pelletizing, thus allowing for a greater contact between the reacting particles,

The instance in which one of the solid reactants was treated in a coffee grinder before adding to the reaction container is one way of increasing the surface area of a reactant.

A ladder is leaning against a building so that the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder is 8 feet less than the len
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
This is the concept of application of Pythagorean theorem and algebra;
Suppose the the length of the ladder is x ft, the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder will be (x-8) ft, the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is 16ft, thus to find the length of the ladder we proceed as follows;
c^2=a^2+b^2
x^2=(x-8)^2+16^2
x^2=x^2-16x+64+256
collecting the like terms we get:
x^2-x^2+16x=320
16x=320
solving for x we get:
x=320/16
x=20 ft
the answer is x=20 ft
