Answer:

C

Explanation:

This is because glass (2400 kg/m^3) is denser than water (1000 kg/m^3).  Water has a refractive index of water is 1.33 while that of glass is 1.54.  This means that because the light is traveling from a medium of lower to higher refractive index, it will slow down and most of it will be reflected back into the water medium.

two skateboarders of mass 50 kg and 60 kg push each other with force 70N.what is the acceleration of each skaters
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

0 m/s²

Explanation:

Since each skater pushes the other with a force of 70 N, according to Newton's third law, there is an equal reaction and thus the other pushes back with a force of 70 N in the other direction, so we have forces of +70N and -70 N respectively. So, the net force on each skateboarder is F = + 70 N + (-70 N) = + 70 N - 70 N = 0 N.

Since force, F = ma where a = acceleration and m = mass,

a = F/m.

So, since for each skater, F = 0N,

a = 0 N/m

= 0 m/s²

So, the acceleration of each skater is 0 m/s²

Two boxes on opposite ends of a massless board that is 3.0 m long. The board is supported in the middle by a fulcrum. The box on
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

b. 1.1 m

Explanation:

It is given that the total distance between the masses is equal to the length of the board, which is 3 m. Therefore,

s_{1} + s_{2} = 3\ m\\\\s_{2} = 3\ m - s_{1}\ --------- eqn(1)

where,

s₁ = distance of fulcrum from left mass

s₂ = distance of fulcrum from right mass

In order to achieve balance, the torque due to both masses must be equal:

T_{1} = T_{2}\\m_{1}s_{1} = m_{2}s_{2}\\(25\ kg)(s_{1}) = (15\ kg)(s_{2})\\\\\frac{15\ kg}{25\ kg}(s_{2}) = s_{1}\\\\using\ eqn(1):\\(0.6)(3\ m - s_{1}) = s_{1}\\1.8\ m = 1.6\ s_{1}\\s_{1} = \frac{1.8\ m}{1.6}

s₁ = 1.1 m

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>b. 1.1 m</u>

Bicycle in its writers have combined a mass of 80 kg in a speed of 6.0 meters per Second what is the magnitude of the average fo
erik [133]

Answer:

F = 120 N

Explanation:

Force x distance = energy

The bike has energy 1/2 . 80 . 6^2   = 1440 J

You are looking at an example of not reading the question properly.

Impulse = Force . time  = change in momentum

F . 4  = 80 .6

F = 120 N
