Hey there! Hello!

So, for this problem, we need to keep in mind what the formula for calculating mass is in the case of given acceleration and weight.

W=Weight
a=acceleration (gravitational pull)
m=mass

W=am, so
m=W/a.

Lets go through the answers:

A is incorrect right off the bat, since it's impossible for there to be circumstances that allow for both weight and mass to be equal.

B sounds like the right one to me, as the weight will affect the mass directly if the acceleration doesn't change (which is why they made it known that this was from one location), and vice versa.

C isn't correct, since it's basically saying the opposite of what actually happens occurs (weight goes up, mass goes down, and vice versa).

D has also been disproven based on our formula above. Weight is the one that equals mass times acceleration, not the other way around.

I hope this helps you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any. :-)

A fish inside the water 12cm below the surface looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horiz
serg [7]

Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.2 cm. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

In this problem, we have a microwave photon with wavelength

\lambda=12.2 cm=0.122 m

Substituting into the equation, we find its energy:

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.122 m}=1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

A cannon elevated at 40 degrees is fired at a wall 300m away on level ground. The initial speed of the cannonball is 89m/s How l
lianna [129]
For the answer to the question above, we'll have to use these formulas.

A) to find time to travel the 300m,
just find horizontal component of the velocity and divide.
ie x=89 x t x cos 40, t=x/89 x cos 40

I believe you can do the rest.

I hope I helped you with my answers.
