Answer: Electromagnetic/Light waves travel at different speeds through different media.

Explanation: The reason for the pencil to appear broken is because because of the process of refraction. Light travels at different speeds in different medium because of the varying densities, here the two mediums being air and water.

The difference in speed results in an apparent shift of the position of part of pencil under water and thus the part appears broken.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

the acceleration is reduced by gravity

a = (15 / .35) - [9.8 * sin(65º)]

Explanation:

break the launch vector into two components, vertical and horizontal

Force Net Vertical=-9.8*.350+15cos65 N

force net horizonal=15sin65

initial acceleration= force/mass= (-9.8+15/.350*cos65)j+(15/.350*sin65)i

using i,j vectors..
