A pelican hunts fish in the water. As the pelican flies above the water’s surface, why must it aim for the fish in a slightly di

fferent place than where the fish appears to be located?
A. Light reflects off the fish, except for light of the wavelength the fish absorbs, making the fish hard to see.
B. Water absorbs most of the light, so not much light reaches the pelican’s eyes.
C. Energy from the ocean waves is transferred to the light waves.
D. Light waves are refracted as they travel from air to water.

A 7-hp (shaft) pump is used to raise water to an elevation of 19 m. if the mechanical efficiency of the pump is 82 percent, dete
Hoochie [10]
Convert the units of power,W = 7 hp = 7 * 745.69 = 5219.83 WCalculate the power input to the pump using the efficiency of the pump equationn=Wpump/Wshaft
Substitute 0.82 for n and 5219.83 for Wshaft0.82=Wpump/5219.83   Wpump=0.82*5219.83=4280.26 WCalculate the mass flow ratein=Wpump/(gz_2 )Where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and z_2 is the elevation of water. Substitute 4280.26 for Wpump, 9.81 m/s^2 for g, and 19m for z_2in = 4280.26 / 9.81 * 19 = 22.9640 m^3/sCalculate the volume flow rate of waterV=m/ρWhere ρ is the density of water. Substitute 22.9640  m^3/s for in and 1000  m^3/kg for ρ, we get V = 22.9640 / 1000 = 0.0230 kg/sTherefore, the volume flow rate of water is 0.0230 kg/s

We have three identical metallic spheres A, B, C. Initially sphere A is charged with charge Q, while B and C are neutral. First,
larisa [96]

Answer:

The final charges of each sphere are:   q_A = 3/8 Q , q_B = 3/8 Q ,               q_C = 3/4 Q

Explanation:

This problem asks for the final charge of each sphere, for this we must use that the charge is distributed evenly over a metal surface.

Let's start Sphere A makes contact with sphere B, whereby each one ends with half of the initial charge, at this point

                q_A = Q / 2

                q_B = Q / 2

Now sphere A touches sphere C, ending with half the charge

                q_A = ½ (Q / 2) = ¼ Q

                q_B = ¼ Q

Now the sphere A that has Q / 4 of the initial charge is put in contact with the sphere B that has Q / 2 of the initial charge, the total charge is the sum of the charge

                  q = Q / 4 + Q / 2 = ¾ Q

This is the charge distributed between the two spheres, sphere A is 3/8 Q and sphere B is 3/8 Q

                  q_A = 3/8 Q

                  q_B = 3/8 Q

The final charges of each sphere are:

                q_A = 3/8 Q

                q_B = 3/8 Q

                q_C = 3/4 Q

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram skier at a rate of 1.2m/sec
xxMikexx [17]

Let's use Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                                     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                                     Force = (68 kg) x (1.2 m/s²) =  81.6 newtons .
