Answer:

In the air

Explanation:

light in air flows in a straight direction while in water it curves far away from the object(refraction)thus the bear in the air will catch the fish easily because in water the fish is refracted thus the bear may catch its refracted image thinking it is the fish

You are working for a manufacturing company. Your supervisor has an idea for controlling the position of a small bead by using e
Mashutka [201]

You are working for a manufacturing company, which is mathematically given as

  • m=3\sqrt{2}
  • m=\frac{15\sqrt{5}}{16}
  • x=0.747a
  • m/n=\frac{(x^2+a^2)3/2}{x^3}

<h3>What is the value of m that will place the movable bead in equilibrium at x-a a ....?</h3>

a)

Generally, the equation for the force of equilibrium is mathematically given as

F=2fcos\theta

Therefore

K(npq^2/a^2)=2\frac{kmpq^2}{a\sqrt{2}^2}0.5\\\\np=mP/ \sqrt{2}\\\\where n=3

m=3\sqrt{2}

b)

By force equilibrium

K(npq^2/(2a^2))=2*\frac{kmpq^2}{a\sqrt{5a}^2}* \frac{2a}{\sart{5a}}

Therefore

n/4=2/5*m*2/\sqrt{5}\\\\m= \frac{5\sqrt{5}}{16}\\\\\\\\

m=\frac{15\sqrt{5}}{16}

c)

K(npq^2/x^2)=2\frac{kmpq^2}{a\sqrt{x^2+a^2}^2}0.5*x/\sqrt{x^2+a^2}

x^2+a^2=(14/3)^{2/3}x^2

x=a/1.338

x=0.747a

d)

By force equilibrium

K(npq^2/x^2)=2\frac{kmpq^2n}{\sqrt{x^2+a^{3/2}}^2}\\\\n/x^2=\frac{2mx}{(x^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

m/n=\frac{(x^2+a^2)3/2}{x^3}

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field →fB at a speed of 1.00×10⁷ m/s and experiences an acceleration of 2.00×
lord [1]

The magnitude of the magnetic field is 20.87 T and its direction is along positive

y direction.

The magnetic force on a particle moving in a magnetic field is given by the formula,

F = q (v x B)

Which can also be written as,

F = qvBsinθ

We know that, F = ma

So, ma = qvBsin

Putting the given values in the above equation,

1.67 x 10^-24 x 2 x 10^13 = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 10^7 x B x sin90

B = 20.87 T.

As the velocity, acceleration and magnetic field are mutually perpendicular therefore the direction of the magnetic field is along the positive y direction.

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic field is 20.87 T and its direction is along positive

y direction.

Why does a pencil look bent when it is placed in a glass of water?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

This is due to bending of light ray passing through the medium.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the concept of refraction.

Refraction can be defined as the bending of light ray as it travels from one medium to another (it can be from the less dense to denser medium or denser to less dense medium)

For that of pencil in water, light ray travels from less dense medium(surrounding air) to denser medium(water). This causes the pencil to bend away from the normal rather than towards the normal (angle of refraction being greater than angle of incidence) and hence the reason for the bending.

NB: Normal line is perpendicular to the plane between the medium.

Theo mixes cake batter and places it in the oven at 350°F for 45 minutes. Explain what type of reaction baking a cake represents
Nataly_w [17]

Baking a cake creates a endothermic reaction. When heated, the baking soda/powder reacts, the eggs change form, and everything else follows suit. The baking soda/powder creates the rising of the cake.
