You have learned your lesson well, Suhay. Your statement is correct.

The light rays from the fish BEND when they flow out of the water into the air. But our primitive brain still believes that the light rays flow STRAIGHT from the fish. The result is that the fish does not APPEAR to be at that place where it really is.

How much heat is absorbed by a 450g gold block as energy from the sun causes its temperature to change from 27°C to 32°C? (Speci

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Q = 1057.5 [cal]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

$Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where:

Q = heat energy [cal]

Cp = specific heat = 0.47 [cal/g*°C]

T_final = final temperature = 32 [°C]

T_initial = initial temperature = 27 [°C]

m = mass of the substance = 450 [g]

Now replacing:

$Q=450*0.47*(32-27)\\Q=1057.5[cal]$

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$41.81^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector $\overrightarrow{OA}$ is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, $\vec {R}$ must be in the north direction.

Let $\overrightarrow{AB}$ is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector $\overrightarrow {OA}$ and head of the vector $\overrightarrow{AB}$ must lie on the north-south line.
