Why are bubbles formed when an empty mug is tilted in a bucket of water?
When an inverted mug is put in a bucket of water it is not empty. It has air in it. When the mug is tilted the air escapes to the surface, this air is the bubbles you refer to.
Pictures of inclined plane?
Examples are ramps, such as those used by movers carrying heavy objects out of a moving truck, or a sloped road or hill, or even a windshield, funnel, or slide that have two ends of opposite height
Why can water get into the inverted tumbler only when it is tilted slightely?
This is beacuse air occupies space.
How many images are formed when two plane mirrors tilted an angle 72 degrees?

How are the rotor blades of a helicopter tilted when rotating?
They are on special hinges attached to what is called a 'swash plate'
How would a shadow change as an object moves toward the light source?
In this Thread, we will become familiar with the orientation of shadows, their size in relation to the object casting them, and how the alignment of the Sun, the object, and the shadow tells us much about how shadows work. The National Science Education Standards stress that geometry and light should be integrated into curricula as tools for learning about three dimensional objects. Vocabulary words which can be used to help talk about our experiences are alignment, casting, angle, and light source. The height of a tilted light source (in other words, the angle between the light source and the ground) and the size of the object it is illuminating determine the length of the shadow that the object casts. The object blocks the light coming from the source so that nothing behind the object gets any direct light. The length of the shadow is a result of how high above or below the top of the object the light source is. Imagine if the light source were directly above the top of the object. Would there be a shadow? No, not one that would be visible around the object. Twist the light source a little down from the top, and a shadow appears behind the object, but is very short. This is because as the light source moves down, the shadow is being created by the small area of the object blocking the light. Imagine straight lines coming down from the light and hitting the object. The higher the light, the less light lines get blocked by the object and hence the less shadow. Thus, the lower the light source is aimed at the object, the more the object blocks the lines, or rays, of light. The key to understanding shadows is to realize that the light source and object must be lined up in order to make a shadow appear. In fact, if the object is placed anywhere along that line, it will produce a shadow of the same length behind the object. It is only when you change the orientation of the light source that the shadow changes. That makes sense in one order: light hits an object and casts a shadow. But experiencing the connection of these fundamentals in a different arrangement is good for rooting our experiences more firmly. In other words, trying to predict where to place an object to cast a shadow at a specific location: essentially trying to locate the path of the light. We've made a brief page about solar eclipses. Solar eclipses are excellent examples of light and shadow. By JASON

What would happen to the seasons if earth was tilted on its axis as it orbit the sun?
It is tilted (23.5 degrees).
What will happen if a pitcher of water is tilted too far?
If a pitcher of water is tilted too far, the water will spill out of the container.
What would happen if the earth was tilted 30 degrees?
If the earth was not tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees, there would not be the different seasons.
What are 2 continents that are completely tilted toward the sun in July?
antarctica
When does Winter Happen?
When The northern hemisphere Or Southern Hemisphere Is Tilted Away From The Sun
What would happen if the path of a satellite if its orbit was tilted more?
If its orbit is tilted relative to the equator,it will move over different parts of the earth.
What would happen to the seasons if the earth was tilted on a different angle?
the seasons will change!!
When does summer happen?
When The Northern Hemisphere Or Southern Hemisphere Is Tilted Towards The Sun
If the planets axis were not tilted what would happen?
The effect on earth would be no seasons
Why are days shorter in winter then summer?
The Earth is tilted at (I think) a 23 degree angle. During winter, the side of the Earth you are on is tilted away from the Sun, so there is less daylight on that half of the planet.
