Is it possible for one ray to be shorter in length than another?
8090 [49]
Yes, even light rays can vary in wavelength and frequency, if the length of the ray is sorter, it becomes more energetic and has a higher frequency. If you're talking about a ray tracing diagram for lenses or mirrors, the length of the ray doesn't really matter unless you're finding the path length but there are some procedures for that too. Let me know if I missed what you were asking.

What produced the helium now present in the sun’s atmosphere? In Jupiter’s atmosphere? In the sun’s core?
Paul [167]

Answer:

The helium contained in the Sun's atmosphere was produced by fusion of hydrogen to helium in the Sun's core. Since planets including the sun where all formed at the same time, Jupiter's atmosphere also contains Helium.

Explanation:

1) the helium in the suns atmosphere from the original helium and any helium the sun has produced from the nuclear fusion of hydrogen.

2) the helium present in Jupiter's atmosphere came from the helium in the matter that produced our solar system.

3) the helium found in the suns core comes only from the nuclear fusion of hydrogen

What fraction of an iceberg is submerged? (ρice = 917 kg/m3, ,ρsea = 1030 kg/m3.)
aksik [14]

Answer:

Choice d. Approximately 89\% of the volume of this iceberg would be submerged.

Explanation:

Let V_\text{ice} denote the total volume of this iceberg. Let V_\text{submerged} denote the volume of the portion that is under the liquid.

The mass of that iceberg would be \rho_\text{ice} \cdot V_\text{ice}. Let g denote the gravitational field strength (g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} near the surface of the earth.) The weight of that iceberg would be: \rho_\text{ice} \cdot V_\text{ice} \cdot g.

If the iceberg is going to be lifted out of the sea, it would take water with volume V_\text{submerged} to fill the space that the iceberg has previously taken. The mass of that much sea water would be \rho_\text{sea} \cdot V_\text{submerged}.

Archimedes' Principle suggests that the weight of that much water will be exactly equal to the buoyancy on the iceberg. By Archimedes' Principle:

\text{buoyancy} = \rho_\text{sea} \cdot V_\text{submerged} \cdot g.

The buoyancy on the iceberg should balance the weight of this iceberg. In other words:

\underbrace{\rho_\text{ice} \cdot V_\text{ice} \cdot g}_\text{weight of iceberg} =  \underbrace{\rho_\text{sea} \cdot V_\text{submerged} \cdot g}_\text{buoyancy on iceberg}.

Rearrange this equation to find the ratio between V_\text{submerged} and V_\text{ice}:

\begin{aligned} &\frac{V_\text{submerged}}{V_\text{ice}} \\&= \frac{\rho_\text{ice} \cdot g}{\rho_\text{sea} \cdot g}\\ &= \frac{\rho_\text{ice}}{\rho_\text{sea}}\ = \frac{917\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3}}{1030\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3}} \approx 0.89 \end{aligned}.

In other words, 89\% of the volume of this iceberg would have been submerged for buoyancy to balance the weight of this iceberg.

Describe all the ways that Newton’s Laws can apply in the game of football?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that a force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F=ma). ... When the punter kicks the ball, his foot exerts a force on the ball. The football then exerts an equal amount of force in the opposite direction on the kicker's foot.
