We know that the Pythagorean theorem applies only to right triangles, therefore the original vectors must be parallel to the legs of a right triangle.

In other words, they must be orthogonal (i.e. perpendicular to each other) in order that the Pythagorean theorem applies.

based on the law of conservation of energy. how can we reasonably improve a machines ability to do work? A.move the machine to a
natima [27]

The correct answer is

C. reduce the friction between its moving parts


In fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.

An object with a charge of 0.9 x 10^-5 C is separated from a second object with a chare of 2.5 x 10^-4 C by a distance of 0.5 m.
meriva

Answer: Force = 81 N

Explanation:

from Columbs law,

F = k(q1*q2)/r²

k = 9 x 10^9 Nm²/C²

F = (9 x 10^9)x (0.9x10^-5 x 2.5x10^-4)/(0.5)²

F = 81 Newtons

At what water temperature will additional heat energy need to be added before the temperature will change again?
Katyanochek1 [597]
That would be 0 degrees Celsius aka the melting point of water.... If you look at the diagram I attached you notice that at 0 degrees Celsius it is flat, this is because much heat is needed at this point for water to rise to 1 degree... It is the same for the boiling point (100)

Hope this helps! (If correct, please rank as brainliest answer) :)

Please help :( A ray of laser light strikes a glass surface at an angle θa = 22.5° to the normal. What is the angle θb of the re
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of refraction which is as follows

sin i / sinr = μ  , where i is angle of incidence , r is angle of refraction and μ is refractive index

here i = θa = 22.5°

r = θb

μ  = 1.77

sin22.5 / sinθb = 1.77

.3826 / sinθb = 1.77

sinθb = .216

θb  = 12.5 °.
