i

the pencil appears to be bent when dipped in water because the reflected light ray from the immersed part of the pencil refracts when travels from water to air. however, it appears to be bent because our eyes expect light to travel in straight line

How is newtons third law of motion demonstrated on a roller coaster?
butalik [34]
<span>Newton's Third Law of Action-Reaction is that for each and every action that happens, there is an equal and opposite reaction to it. In the scenario of a roller coaster, this is when you push down on the seat of the roller coaster as it flies along and the seat pushes back against you.</span>

A speeding motorist traveling with velocity Vm is spotted by a police car. The police car is initially at rest, but the instant
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Let us suppose police car and motorist travel in straight line  and police car catches motorist after s distance

Distance travel by motorist

s=v_mt----1

Distance traveled by Police car

s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

s=0+\frac{a_pt^2}{2}

s=\frac{a_pt^2}{2}----2

from 1 & 2 we get

t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}

(a)Velocity of Police car after t sec

v=u+a_pt

v=0+a_p\times \frac{2v_m}{a_p}

v=2v_m

(b)time taken by police car is

t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}

(c)Distance travel by police car=\frac{2v_m^2}{a_p}

A boat travels north across a river at a velocity of 22 meters/second with respect to the water. The river's velocity is 2.2 met
MArishka [77]
The magnitude of the resultant is

         √ (22² + 2.2²)  =  √ (484 + 4.84)  =  √488.84  =  22.11 m/s .

The direction of the resultant is

         tan⁻¹(22N / 2.2E)  =  tan⁻¹(10)  =  5.71° east of north .

If two asteroids moved closer together, what would be the result on the gravitational force each asteroid exerts on the other?
spayn [35]
Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids.
As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.

fredd [130]

The question is incomplete, the options are;

RI^2

I^2/R

R/I^2

R/V^2

RV^2

V^2/R

VI

VIR

Select all that apply

Answer:

P=RI^2

P=V^2/R

P=VI

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which energy is changing in a circuit. It is shown by the formulas outlined above from the group of answer choices. Since the current (I), voltage (V), and resistance (R) were mentioned in the question, any of three three formulas could be used to obtain the power drawn by the conductor.
