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.

Choose the correct statement concerning units of power or energy. a. A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power. b. A gigawatt (GW) is
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.

Explanation:

The power of an object is given by :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

Here,

E is the energy required

t is time

The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.    

Option (1) :  A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.

Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

94. The diagram shows the orbit of a satellite
Valentin [98]

Answer:

7.65x10^3 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the satellite's orbital speed is shown below:

Given that

Earth mass, M_e = 5.97 × 10^24 kg

Gravitational constant, G = 6.67 × 10^-11 N·m^2/kg

Orbital radius, r = 6.80 × 10^6m

Based on the above information

the satellite's orbital speed is

V_o = √GM_e ÷ √r

= √6.67 × 10^-11 × 5.97 × 10^24 ÷ √6.80 × 10^6

=  7.65x10^3 m/s

A record player turntable initially rotating at 3313 rev/min is braked to a stop at a constant rotational acceleration. The turn
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

a. 16 s b. -1.866 kJ

Explanation:

a. Since the initial rotational speed ω₀= 3313 rev/min = 3313/60 × 2π rad/s = 346.94 rad/s. Its rotational speed becomes ω₁ = 0.75ω₀ in time t = 4 s.

We find it rotational acceleration using α = (ω₁ - ω₀)/t = (0.75ω₀ - ω₀)/t = ω₀(0.75 - 1)/t = -0.25ω₀/t = (-0.25 × 346.94 rad/s)/4 s = -21.68 rad/s².

Since the turntable stops at ω = 0, the time it takes to stop is gotten from

ω = ω₀ + αt and t = (ω - ω₀)/α = (0 - 346.94 rad/s)/-21.68 rad/s² = (-346.94/-21.68) s = 16 s.

So it takes the turntable 16 s to stop.

b. The workdone by the turntable to stop W equals its rotational kinetic energy change.

So, W = 1/2Iω² - 1/2Iω₀² = 1/2 × 0.031 kgm² × 0² - 1/2 × 0.031 kgm² × (346.94 rad/s)² = 0 - 1865.7 J = -1865.7 J = -1.8657 kJ ≅ -1.866 kJ

Which direction are the galaxies moving
Vlada [557]

Scientists believe that on large scales the Universe is isotropic (the same in all directions). Thus, from our perspective, half of all spiral galaxies should spin clockwise, and half counter-clockwise.
