Answer:

Pencil's image will be visible.

Explanation:

Light is scattered off all the points of the pencil  and into all direction of space if light directed towards the mirror is reflected back into our eyes we can see the pencil.

If the top half of the mirror is covered with a piece of dark paper, Light is scattered off  the pencil  and reflected off the mirror can enter your eyes and you will see the image of the pencil.

Name and describe the two layers inside Earth that are undergoing convection and indicate one major consequence of each.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Mantle and core

Explanation:

The Mantle and Core are the two components within Earth experiencing convection. In several ways the mantle is significant. The one outcome of convective current is the creation of the fresh oceanic lithosphere around OCEANIC RIDGES, formed by mantle upwelling. Core is indeed the planet's innermost layer.

Sort the forces as producing a torque of positive, negative, or zero magnitude about the rotational axis identified in part
Fantom [35]

a) Angular acceleration: 17.0 rad/s^2

b) Weight: conterclockwise torque, reaction force: zero torque

Explanation:

a)

In this problem, you are holding the pencil at its end: this means that the pencil will rotate about this point.

The only force producing a torque on the pencil is the weight of the pencil, of magnitude

W=mg

where m is the mass of the pencil and g the acceleration of gravity.

However, when the pencil is rotating around its end, only the component of the weight tangential to its circular trajectory will cause an angular acceleration. This component of the weight is:

W_p =mg sin \theta

where \theta is the angle of the rod with respect to the vertical.

The weight act at the center of mass of the pencil, which is located at the middle of the pencil. So the torque produced is

\tau = W_p \frac{L}{2}=mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta

where L is the length of the pencil.

The relationship between torque and angular acceleration \alpha is

\tau = I \alpha (1)

where

I=\frac{1}{3}mL^2

is the moment of inertia of the pencil with respect to its end.

Substituting into (1) and solving for \alpha, we find:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{mg\frac{L}{2}sin \theta}{\frac{1}{3}mL^2}=\frac{3 g sin \theta}{2L}

And assuming that the length of the pencil is L = 15 cm = 0.15 m, the angular acceleration when \theta=10^{\circ} is

\alpha = \frac{3(9.8)(sin 10^{\circ})}{2(0.15)}=17.0 rad/s^2

b)

There are only two forces acting on the pencil here:

- The weight of the pencil, of magnitude mg

- The normal reaction of the hand on the pencil, R

The torque exerted by each force is given by

\tau = Fd

where F is the magnitude of the force and d the distance between the force and the pivot point.

For the weight, we saw in part a) that the torque is

\tau =mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta

For the reaction force, the torque is zero: this is because the reaction force is applied exctly at the pivot point, so d = 0, and therefore the torque is zero.

Therefore:

- Weight: counterclockwise torque (I have assumed that the pencil is held at its right end)

- Reaction force: zero torque

The index of refraction for a certain type of glass is 1.641 for blue light and 1.603 for red light. When a beam of white light
exis [7]

Answer:

The angle between the emergent blue and red light is 0.566^{o}

Explanation:

We have according to Snell's law

n_{1}sin(\theta _{i})=n_{2}sin(\theta _{r})

Since medium from which light enter's is air thus n_{1}=1

Thus for blue incident light we have

1\times sin(40.05)=1.641\times sin(\theta _{rb})\\\\\therefore \theta _{rb}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(40.05)}{1.64})\\\\\theta _{rb}=23.10

Similarly using the same procedure for red light we have

1\times sin(40.05)=1.603\times sin(\theta _{rr})\\\\\therefore \theta _{rr}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(40.05)}{1.603})\\\\\theta _{rr}=23.66^{o}

Thus the absolute value of angle between the refracted blue and red light is

|23.66-23.10|=0.566^{o}

Ozone gas absorbs the ultraviolet radiations of the sun in the
bija089 [108]
Hello,

The answer is option C "<span>thermosphere".</span><span>

Reason:

The troposphere is the layer of the air that the harmful heat rays (from the sun is mostly absorbed). The thermosphere is directly above the exosphere which is the sphere with the thin layer of the sphere therefore the answer should be option C.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
