Answer:

When light enters from air to water i.e. it is moving from rarer to denser medium, it changes its original path as there is a change of speed of light and deflects itself towards the normal. This is known as the refraction of light and this is why a pencil in a cup of water looks as if it is broken and larger.

8. At what position does the mass have the greatest acceleration?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Option (e)

Explanation:

If a mass attached to a spring is stretched and released, it follows a simple harmonic motion.

In simple harmonic motion, velocity of the mass will be maximum, kinetic energy is maximum and acceleration is 0 at equilibrium position (at 0 position).

At position +A, mass will have the minimum kinetic energy, zero velocity and maximum acceleration.

Therefore, Option (e) will be the answer.

A 0.106-A current is charging a capacitor that has square plates 6.00 cm on each side. The plate separation is 4.00 mm. (a) Find
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The time rate of change of flux is 1.34 \times 10^{10} \frac{V}{s}

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 0.106 A

Area of plate A = 36 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}

Plate separation d = 4 \times 10^{-3} m

(A)

First find the capacitance of capacitor,

   C = \frac{\epsilon _{o} A }{d}

Where \epsilon _{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

   C = \frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12 } \times 36 \times 10^{-4}  }{4 \times 10^{-3} }

   C = 7.9 \times 10^{-12} F

But   C = \frac{Q}{V}

Where Q = It

  C = \frac{It}{V}

  V = \frac{It}{C}

Now differentiate above equation wrt. time,

  \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{I}{C}

       = \frac{0.106}{7.9 \times 10^{-12} }

       = 1.34 \times 10^{10} \frac{V}{s}

Therefore, the time rate of change of flux is 1.34 \times 10^{10} \frac{V}{s}

The ____ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.

Explanation:

In a position-time graph, the values on the x-axis represent the time, while the values on the y-axis represent the position of the object.

Velocity is defined as the ratio between the displacement of an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

However, we can see that this definition corresponds to the slope of the curve in a position-time graph. In fact:

\Delta s, the displacement, corresponds to the difference in position, so the difference between the values on the y-axis: \Delta s=y_2 -y_1

\Delta t, the time interval, corresponds to the difference in times, so the difference between the values on the x-axis: \Delta t= t_2 -t_1=x_2 -x_1

So, the velocity is

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}=\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

which corresponds to the slope of the curve.

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updrafts and downdrafts. True or False
jasenka [17]

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updraft and downdrafts. The given statement is true.

When the cumulus cloud becomes very large, the water in it becomes large and heavy. Raindrops start to fall through the cloud when the rising air can no longer hold them up. Meanwhile, cool dry air starts to enter the cloud. Because cool air is heavier than warm air, it starts to descend in the cloud (known as a downdraft). The downdraft pulls the heavy water downward, making rain.

This cloud has become a cumulonimbus cloud because it has an updraft, a downdraft, and rain. Thunder and lightning start to occur, as well as heavy rain. The cumulonimbus is now a thunderstorm cell.
