Answer:

B. it showed that the wave nature of light is a probability statement of where photons are going to be

Explanation:

When the light propagates through a medium it is taken to act as a wave, it shows all the features of a wave such as reflection, refraction, diffraction.

But when the light ray is incident on a surface generating an energy interaction with the particles of the matter on which it is incident then it is treated as matter. Light is made of particles called photons.

The collision of photons with the surface electrons in some materials leads to the ejection of the valance electrons from the surface in excited state.

Energy of photon is given as:

$E=h.\nu$

where:

h = Planck's constant

$\nu=$ frequency of the wave

Which of the following best describes why tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource? A. The Moon receives energy fr

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

D. Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity.

Explanation:

The reason tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource is that Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity. The Moon's gravity creates bulges on the side of Earth that is closest and farthest from the Moon. These bulges also pull water causing high tides in those areas. As the Earth rotates these areas experience low tide while the areas that had low tide now experience high tide. This constant shift creates tidal energy every day, which is replenished naturally.

The lungs art part of The excretory system....
somatic nervous system is ..... autonomic nervous system....

The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments. Here are just three of the many ways that human organ systems help the body maintain homeostasis:
Respiratory system: A high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood triggers faster breathing. The lungs exhale more frequently, which removes carbon dioxide from the body more quickly.
Excretory system: A low level of water in the blood triggers retention of water by the kidneys. The kidneys produce more concentrated urine, so less water is lost from the body.
Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb sugar from the blood.

An electrical power plant manages to send 88% of the heat produced in the burning of fossil fuel into the water-to-steam convers

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.

88% of x = 0.88 x

0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.

heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x

efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %

If a dog walks north for 10 meters and then east for 10 meters, what is the direction of its displacement?

Katyanochek1 [597]

The direction of its displacement wil be

c.northeast

In fact, the dog walks north for 10 meters and east for another 10 meters. The path of the dog can be represented with two vectors, A pointing north (of magnitude 10 meters) and B pointing east (of magnitude 10 meters). The direction of the resultant vector (due to east) will be given by

$tan \theta =\frac{A}{B}=\frac{10}{10}=1$

$\theta=tan^{-1} (1)=45^{\circ}$

and the direction will be north-east.

The block in the figure below has a mass of 5.1 kg and it rests on an incline of angle . You pull on the rope with a force F = 3

viktelen [127]

42.9°

Explanation:

Let's assume that the x-axis is aligned with the incline and the positive direction is up the incline. We can then apply Newton's 2nd law as follows:

$x:\;\;\;\;F - mg\sin{\theta} = 0\;\;\;\;$

$\Rightarrow mg\sin{\theta} = F$

Note that the net force is zero because the block is moving with a constant speed when the angle of the incline is set at $\theta.$ Solving for the angle, we get

$\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{F}{mg}$

$\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{F}{mg}\right)$

$\;\;\;= \sin^{-1}\left[\dfrac{34\:\text{N}}{(5.1\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)}\right]$

$\;\;\;=42.9°$
