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 block of mass m=1.2 kg is held at rest against a spring with a force constant k=730N/m. Initially the spring is compressed a d
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

potential energy of compressed spring

= 1/2 k d²

= 1/2 x 730 d²

= 365 d²

This energy will be given to block of mass of 1.2 kg in the form of kinetic energy .

Kinetic energy after crossing the rough patch

= 1/2 x 1.2 x 2.3²

= 3.174 J

Loss of energy

= 365 d² - 3.174  

This loss is due to negative work done by frictional force

work done by friction = friction force x width of patch

= μmg d ,   μ = coefficient of friction , m is mass of block , d is width of patch

= .44 x 1.2 x 9.8 x .05

= .2587 J

365 d² - 3.174   = .2587

365 d² = 3.4327

d² = 3.4327 / 365

= .0094

d = .097 m

= 9.7 cm

If friction increases , loss of energy increases . so to achieve same kinetic energy , d will have to be increased so that initial energy increases so compensate increased loss .

What is the mass of an object if a 30 N force makes it accelerate at 6 m/s2
jasenka [17]

Answer:

5 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 6 m/s^2

Force = 30 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 30 / 6

mass = 5 kg

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

d\sin \theta =m\lambda

For Destructive interference

d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda

where \lambda =wavelength

d=slit\ width

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. m=2

For smallest separation taking \lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}

d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}

d=0.8\times 10^{-6}

d=0.8\mu m
