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.

Define friction State the law of frictionGive two factors that may affect friction

umka21 [38]

Friction:

Friction is the resistive force that acts on the body in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of the same object.

Laws of friction:

1. The frictional force acting on the object is proportional to the normal force acting on the object.

For example, if the object of mass m is moving along the horizontal surface, the normal force acting on the object is mg.

Thus, the frictional force acting on the object is,

$\begin{gathered} F_r\propto F_N \\ F_r=\mu F_N \end{gathered}$

where F_N is the normal force acting on the object,

$\mu\text{ is the coefficient of friction}$

The diagrammatic representation of the frictional force acting on the object is,

2. The frictional force acting on the object depends upon the nature of the surface in contact with the object.

3. The frictional force does not depend upon the area of contact of an object with the surface.

4. The kinetic friction acting on the object is independent of the velocity of the object.

5. The coefficient of static friction is more than the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Two factors on which the frictional force depends are:

1. The frictional force depends on the adhesion between the two bodies in contact.

2. The frictional force acting on the depends upon the roughness of the surface on which the object is moving.

What kind of system is generally composed of a fluid system to move the heat from the collector to its point of usage and a rese

Mkey [24]

Solar heating is the system composed of a fluid system to move the heat from the collector to its point of usage and a reservoir to stock the heat

Explanation:

The options given here like coal burning uses solid material as the source to heat and to generate energy. Similarly, nuclear power also requires solid particles like atoms or neutrons to strike the moderators forming energy.

In both of these cases, fluid system is present but it is used completely as coolant and to maintain the temperature. Thus, the remaining system that is solar heating has been done for water tanks where the fluid as water is used to move the heat from its collector to its point of usage. Even in solar system it is used as reservoir to stock the heat.

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be balance force if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be unbalanced force if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to Newton second law of motion , acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

F=ma

a= $\frac{F}{m}$

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.

No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers' is

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

D. Pauli's exclusion principle

Explanation:

A. Newton's laws are related to the motion, they state that "Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it", " Force equals mass times acceleration." and " For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"

B. Bohr's law depicts an atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons. These electrons travel in circular orbits around the nucleus.

C. Aufbau principle, also called the building-up principle or the aufbau rule, states that in the ground state of an atom or ion, electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels

D. Pauli's exclusion principle states that no two fermions (e.g., electrons) in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers, hence they have to "pile up" or "build up" into higher energy levels.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
