Answer:

The bird appears farther

Explanation:

This is because as the light from the bird travels into the water which has a higher refractive index than air, light rays from the kingfisher bird bend towards the normal at the water surface and thus enter the eye of the scuba diver. Now, if we project the light rays from the eyes of the scuba diver into the air, we see that they appear to come from a point farther than that of the actual kingfisher bird perched on the branch.

<u>So, the bird appears to the diver to be farther from the surface than the actual bird</u>

Damm [24]

Answer:

b) 5.5 A

Explanation:

Use Ohm's Law to solve for I:

I=V/R

V is voltage and R is resistance

V=220V

R= 40 Ω

I=220V/40Ω

I= 5.5 Amps

A cup containing 200 g of hot water is taken off the stove placed on the kitchen table. Initially the water is at 75Degree C. bu
8090 [49]

Answer:

ΔH = -45.1872 kJ , where negative sign signifies heat loss.

Q = ΔH = -45.1872 kJ  , where negative sign signifies heat loss.

S system = -0.141 kJ/K

S surroundings = 0.1536 kJ/K

S universe = -0.141 kJ/K + 0.1536 kJ/K  = 0.0126 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given:

Cp = 4. 184 J/(mole. K)

T₁ = 75 ⁰C

T₂ = 21 ⁰C

Mass of water = 200 g = 0.2 kg

Since,

\Delta H=m\times C\times (T_f-T_i)

ΔH = 0.2*4.184*(21-75)  kJ

<u> ΔH = -45.1872 kJ , where negative sign signifies heat loss.</u>

Since the process is at constant pressure

<u> Q = ΔH = -45.1872 kJ  , where negative sign signifies heat loss.</u>

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

T₁ = 75 ⁰C = 348 .15 K

T₂ = 21 ⁰C = 294.15 K

The entropy of the water is given by:

<u> S = m×Cp×ln(T₂ /T₁) </u>

S = 0.2*4.184*ln(294.15/348.15)

<u> S system = -0.141 kJ/K</u>

The heat gain by surroundings

<u> dQ = -Qreaction =  45.1872 kJ </u>

The entropy change of surroundings is

S surr = dQ/T₂ = 45.1872/294 .15

<u> S surr = 0.1536 kJ/K </u>

The entropy of universe  is the sum total of the entropy of the system and the surroundings and thus,

S universe = Ssys + Ssurr

<u> S universe = -0.141 kJ/K + 0.1536 kJ/K  = 0.0126 kJ/K</u>

If a force F is exerted on a charged particle when the particle enters a magnetic field B at a velocity v, which of the followin
mixer [17]

Answer:

The correct option is 'c': The Force vector (F) and the magnetic field vector (B) are always perpendicular.

Explanation:

The magnetic force that acts on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by

\overrightarrow{F}=q\overrightarrow{v}\times \overrightarrow{B}

As we can see that vector cross product is involved hence we conclude that Force vector (F) is always perpendicular to both the velocity vector (v) and the magnetic field vector (B) which may be at any angle with respect to each other.

Hence we conclude that vectors F and B are always perpendicular.

Falling objects drop with an average acceleration of 9.8 m/sec/sec, or 9.8 m /s2. If an object falls from the top of a tall buil
Lena [83]

Use the velocity expression for uniform acceleration and solve for t: v = v0 + at. v0 is zero since the object is at rest. 49 m/s = a(t), and solve for t. t = 49 m/s / 9.8 = 5 seconds.

nata0808 [166]

(a) 1.25\cdot 10^{-14} J

The change in potential energy of the electron is given by:

\Delta U=q E d

where

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the magnitude of the electron's charge

E=150 N/C is the magnitude of the electric field

d = 520 m is the distance through which the electron has moved

Substituting into the equation, we find

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(150 N/C)(520 m)=1.25\cdot 10^{-14} J

(b) 78 kV

The potential difference the electron has moved through is given by

\Delta V=Ed

where

E=150 N/C is the magnitude of the electric field

d = 520 m is the distance through which the electron has moved

Substituting into the equation, we find

\Delta V=Ed=(150 N/C)(520 m)=78,000 V=78 kV
