A pencil aapears bent when dippes partially in a beaker contaning water why?​

Physics
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]3 years ago

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

A new planet is discovered beyond Pluto at a mean distance to the sun of 4004 million miles. Using Kepler's third law, determine
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

103239.89 days

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

                               a³ / T² = 7.496 × 10⁻⁶  (a.u.³/days²)

where,

a is the distance of the semi-major axis in a.u

T is the orbit time in days

Converting the mean distance of the new planet to astronomical unit (a.u.)

                       1 a.u = 9.296 × 10⁷ miles        

                                      \frac{4004 * 10^{6}}{9.296 * 10^{7}}  =  43.07\ a.u.

Substituting the values into Kepler's third law equation;

                                    \frac{(43.07)^{3}}{T^{2}}  =  7.496 * 10^{-6}  

                                    T^{2} = \frac{(43.07)^{3}}{7.496 * 10^{-6}} (days)²

                                    T^{2} = \sqrt{\frac{(43.07)^{3}}{7.496 * 10^{-6}}}

                                    T = 103239.89 days

An estimate time T for the new planet to travel around the sun in an orbit is 103239.89 days

A worker lifts a 20.0-kg bucket of concrete from the ground up to the top of a 25.0-m tall building. The bucket is initially at
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Minimum work = 5060 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the bucket (m) = 20.0 kg

Initial speed of the bucket (u) = 0 m/s

Final speed of the bucket (v) = 4.0 m/s

Displacement of the bucket (h) = 25.0 m

Let 'W' be the work done by the worker in lifting the bucket.

So, we know from work-energy theorem that, work done by a force is equal to the change in the mechanical energy of the system.

Change in mechanical energy is equal to the sum of change in potential energy and kinetic energy. Therefore,

\Delta E=\Delta U+\Delta K\\\\\Delta E= mgh+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

Therefore, the work done by the worker in lifting the bucket is given as:

W=\Delta E\\\\W=mgh+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

Now, plug in the values given and solve for 'W'. This gives,

W=(20\ kg)(9.8\ m/s^2)(25\ m)+\frac{1}{2}(20\ kg)(4^2-0^2)\ m^2/s^2\\\\W=4900\ J +160\ J\\\\W=5060\ J

Therefore, the minimum work that the worker did in lifting the bucket is 5060 J.

A star is moving away from an observer. Toward which end of the spectrum does its visible light shift?.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Redshift, or lower power

Explanation:

doppler effect

waves get stretched when you are moving away from something, and squished when you are moving towards it. Imagine you have a long, bent wire. if you stretch out the wire, the wavelength becomes longer. This also applies to sound.

1.Do parallel universe exist? How?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Some physicists believe in a flatter version of multiple universes. ... But if the universe began at a finite point, as nearly every physicist agrees that it did, an alternate version of you likely doesn't exist, according to astrophysicist Ethan Siegel's 2015 Medium article.
