A student is investigating how light travels using a rubber tube. when the tube is curved the student cant see through it from one end to the other when the tube is straightened out the student can see all the way through a) why can the student not see all the way through the curved tube
b/why can the student see all the way through the straight tube

Explanation:

A.) Since Light doesn't bend until travelling through a different transparent medium, hence it won't pass when any opaque object is placed in front of it. Rubber tube being curved and opaque,won't let light pass through it.

B.) Since light always travels in a straight line, when tube is kept straight,there is a way for it to pass and the student can see it.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
