People with normal vision cannot focus their eyes underwater if they aren't wearing a face mask or goggles and there is water in

contact with their eyes. Explain why not.

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

This happens because the water cancels the focusing effect of our eye lens. A drop of water makes a lens because of the different refractive indices of water and air.

When we are underwater with naked eyes,  the front part of our eye lens does not have different refractive indices anymore… both the  inside lens and outside lens are essentially water ( lens inside our eyes are water only surrounded by a membrane)… hence, that part of the lens does not focus the light anymore. And thus, your eyes don’t work  well anymore. (It can only partly correct for this, by bending the lens more)

When we put swimming goggles on, we remove the water and again have air in front of our eye lenses, and they work normally now. Obviously, we have created an extra interface between water and air in  front of our swimming goggles. However, this surface(the goggle) is flat. And thus it does not function as a lens but only as a window.

bija089 [108]
<span>The proton differs from the electron in sign although they have the same value. Like the electron, a proton will gain 215 electron-volts of eV in Kinetic energy. So 1.602Ă—10^-19 J * 215 = 344.43 * 10^(-19) J. But K. E. = mv^2 / 2, so v^2 = 2 * K.E/m. The mass of a proton is 1.673 * 10^-27 kg. So v = âš(2 * 344.43 * 10^(-19))/1.673Ă—10^-27 = 688.86 * 10^(-19)/1.673Ă—10^(-27) = 411.75 * 10^(-19-(-27)) = âš411.75 * 10^(8) = 202196.56 Also for the electron we have v^2 = 2 * K.E/m but here mass, m, = 9.109 * 10^-31 kg. So we have v = âš(2 * 344.43 * 10^(-19)) / 9.109 * 10^-31 = 688.86 * 10^(-19)/ 9.109 * 10^-31 = 75.624 * 10^(-19 - (-31)) = 75.624 * 10^(21) and v = 2.749 * 10^11</span>

A 78.5-kg man is standing on a frictionless ice surface when he throws a 2.40-kg book horizontally at a speed of 11.3 m/s. With
kirill [66]

Answer:

The man moves across the ice with a speed of 0.345m/s.

Explanation:

From the conservation of linear momentum, we have that the total linear momentum before the book throw is equal to the total linear momentum just after it. Since the initial velocity of the system is zero (so the initial momentum is zero), we have that:

m_mv_m+m_bv_b=0\\\\v_m=-\frac{m_b}{m_m} v_b

Where m_m is the mass of the man, m_b is the mass of the book, and v_m and v_b are their velocities. Plugging in the given values, we can compute the speed of the man (ignoring the negative sign, because we care about the magnitude, not the direction):

v_m=\frac{2.40kg}{78.5kg}(11.3m/s)=0.345m/s

In words, the resulting speed of the man is 0.345m/s.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

A.model the reflection of a light wave

The Wave Model of Light Toolkit provides teachers with standards-based resources for designing lesson plans and units that pertain to such topics as the light's wavelike behaviors, wave-particle duality, light-wave interference, and light polarization

B. .model the absorption of a light wave

The simplest model is the Drude/Lorentz model, where the light wave makes charged particle oscillate while the particle is also being damped by a force of friction (damping force)

A mirror provides the foremost common model for reflective light wave reflection and generally consists of a glass sheet with a gold coating wherever the many reflections happen. Reflection is increased in metals by suppression of wave propagation on the far side their skin depths

C.model the transmimssion of a light wave

The Wave Model describes how light propagates in the same way as we model ocean waves moving through the water. By thinking of light as an oscillating wave, we can account for properties of light such as its wavelength and frequency. By including wavelength information, the Wave Model can be used to explain colors.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

C) rift valley

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.
