Answer: B. bending light

Explanation:

The phenomenom of vision in human eye is thanks to refraction (when light changes its direction as it passes through one medium to another), and this is what the cornea and the lens do.

When the ray of light encounters the eye, the first thing it finds is the cornea, which bends this ray and begins to form an image, then light passes through the pupil, which is in charge of regulating the amount of light that enters in the eye.

After light travels through pupil it passes through the lens, where the rays of light change the direction again in order to focus the formed image on the retina.

At this point it is important to note the formed image is downward, then the retina transforms light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve and finally the brain interprets these messages, and forms a right upward image.

In the image attached these parts can be seen.

An object, with mass 32 kg and speed 26 m/s relative to an observer, explodes into two pieces, one 5 times as massive as the oth

Brut [27]

Answer:

$\Delta K = 2164.053\,J$

Explanation:

Let consider the observer as an inertial reference frame. The object is modelled after the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

$(32\,kg)\cdot (26\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (5.333\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} )+(26.665\,kg )\cdot v$

The speed of the more massive piece is:

$v = 31.202\,\frac{m}{s}$

The kinetic energy added to the system is:

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [(5.333\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}+(26.665\,kg )\cdot (31.202\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}]-\frac{1}{2}\cdot (32\,kg)\cdot (26\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}$

$\Delta K = 2164.053\,J$

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

A drag racer starts from rest and accelerates at 7.4 m/s2. How far will he travel in 2.0 seconds?

Leto [7]

Using the kinematic equation below we can determine the distance traveled if t=2, a=7.4m/s^2. First we must determine the final velocity:

$v_{final}=v_{initial}+\frac{1}{2}at\\\\v_{final}=0+(7.4m/s^2)(2s)=34.8m/s$

Now we will determine the distance traveled:

$v_{final}^2=v_{initial}^2+2a \Delta x\\\\\Delta x = \frac{v_{final}^2}{2a} =\frac{(34.8)^2}{(2)(7.4)}=81.83 m$

Therefore, the drag racer traveled 81.83 meters in 2 seconds.

g A change in the initial _____ of a projectile changes the range and maximum height of the projectile.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Velocity.

Explanation:

Projectile motion is characterized as the motion that an object undergoes when it is thrown into the air and it is only exposed to acceleration due to gravity.

As per the question, 'any change in the initial velocity of the projectile(object having gravity as the only force) would lead to a change in the range as well as the maximum height of the projectile.' To illustrate numerically:

Horizontal range: As per expression:

R= ( $u^{2}$ *sin2θ)/g

the range depending on the square of the initial velocity.

Maximum height: As per expression:

H= ( $u^{2}$ * $sin^{2}$ θ )/2g

the maximum distance also depends upon square of the initial velocity.
