pantera1 [17]

Answer:

bend toward the normal line

Explanation:

When light passes from a less dense to a more dense substance, (for example passing from air into water), the light is refracted (or bent) towards the normal.   In your question the light is moving from rarer to denser medium

An object moving 20 m/s
yan [13]

Answer:

<u>We are given:</u>

initial velocity (u) = 20m/s

acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²

time (t) = 8 seconds

displacement (s) = s m

<u />

<u>Solving for Displacement:</u>

From the seconds equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2 * at²

replacing the variables

s = 20(8) + 1/2 * (4)*(8)*(8)

s = 160 + 128

s = 288 m

A Shaolin monk of mass 60 kg is able to do a ‘finger stand’: he supports his whole weight on his two index fingers, giving him a
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

1500000 Pa

Explanation:

The formula for pressure is force per unit area.

P=F/A where  F is force and A is area

Given that ;

F= mass * acceleration due to gravity

F= 60 * 9.81 = 588.6 = 589 N

A= area = 4cm² = 0.0004 m²

P= F/A = 589 / 0.0004

P= 1471500

P=1500000 Pa

Which process requires more energy: completely vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at 1 atm pressure or completely vaporiz
Lilit [14]
The correct answer would be the first option. The process that would need more energy would be vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. This can be seen from the latent heat of vaporization of each system. For the saturated water at 1 atm, the latent heat is equal to 40.7 kJ per mole while, at 8 atm, the latent heat is equal to 36.4 kJ per mole. The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat needed in order to vaporize a specific amount of substance without any change in the temperature. As we can observe, more energy is needed by the liquid water at 1 atm.

Answer:

Plane will 741.6959 m apart after 1.7 hour                    

Explanation:

We have given time = 1.7 hr

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is   = 102^{\circ}-65.3^{\circ}=36.7^{\circ}

Speed of first plane  = 730 m/h

So distance traveled by first plane = 730×1.7 = 1241 m

Speed of second plane = 590 m/hr

So distance traveled by second plane = 590×1.7 = 1003 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 58.6.

Using the law of cosine, r^2 representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

r^2=1241^2+1003^2-2\times 1003\times 1241cos(36.7)=550112.8295

r = 741.6959 m
