Basically, we want to see the distance in terms of thickness. So, for this rectilinear motion at constant acceleration, the equation to be used is:

x = v₀t + 0.5at²

First, let's determine t using the equation:
a = |v - v₀|/t
300 m/s² = |0 - 92.8 km/h * 1,000 m/1 km * 1 h/3600 s|/t
t = 0.086 seconds

x = (92.8 km/h * 1,000 m/1 km * 1 h/3600 s)(0.086 s) + 0.5(300 m/s²)(0.086 s)²
x = 3.33 meters

A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is ________.
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

D. transparent.

Explanation:

A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is <u>transparent.</u>

A transparent material allows light to pass through them with little or no resistance enabling them see-through. A material that transmits nearly all the light rays that pass through it because it offers little resistance to the light is TRANSPARENT. Examples of transparent materials are water,  glass (flint and crown), air, and diamond.

qaws [65]
<h2>Comets are made of Chunks of rock, gas, Ice, and dust. The Answer is A and C.</h2>

Explanation:

Comets is one of the main types of space rocks. Recent researchers has termed Comets as 'dirty snowballs' of space, that contains ice, rock, gas and dust. The solid center of the comet is less than 10 kilometers across.

Comets are believed to have originated beyond Neptune and Pluto. It is called the Oort Cloud that surrounds the solar system.

It carries carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and many more gases. According to Astronomers, comets are assumed to be the leftovers of the material that was initially the part of solar system about billion years ago.
