You can painlessly wade into a pool, but doing a belly flop off of the high diving board hurts because of the cohesion of the water molecules.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Water is represented as H20 where two hydrogen atoms are bonded to one oxygen atom. Due to force of attraction between the water molecules they stick together providing a greater force when an object or a body acts upon them.

Hence moving slowly in water or dipping slowly will not produce any opposite form whereas flipping does as it tries to separate the body between the water molecules when we fall with a certain amount of force.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 750 m/h at a heading of 51.3°. The veloci
abruzzese [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

In 2.4 hours, the distance traveled by the first airplane heading a 51.3° at 750 mph is 
a = 750*2.4 = 1800 miles.

The second airplane travels
b = 620*2.4 = 1488 mile

The angle between the two airplanes is
163° - 51.3° = 111.7°

Let c =  the distance between the two airplanes after 2.4 hours.
From the Law of Cosines, obtain
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(111.7°)
    = 3.24 x 10⁶ + 2.2141 x 10⁶
c = 2335.41 miles

Answer: 2335.4 miles

Explain briefly how solar energy is used to generate electricity
valkas [14]

Answer:

Solar radiation may be converted directly into electricity by solar cells (photovoltaic cells). In such cells, a small electric voltage is generated when light strikes the junction between a metal and a semiconductor (such as silicon) or the junction between two different semiconductors.

un movil que parte del reposo alcanza una velocidad de 75 m/s en 13 segundos ¿cual su aceleracion y el espacio que recorrio en l
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Acceleration = 5.77 m/s²

Distance cover in 13 seconds = 487.56 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Final velocity of mobile device = 75 m/s

initial velocity of mobile device = 0 m/s

Time taken = 13 seconds

Find:

Acceleration

Distance cover in 13 seconds

Computation:

v = u + at

75 = 0 + (a)(13)

13a = 75

a = 5.77

Acceleration = 5.77 m/s²

s = ut + (1/2)(a)(t²)

s = (0)(t) + (1/2)(5.77)(13²)

Distance cover in 13 seconds = 487.56 meter

What do we mean when we say that energy levels are quantized in atoms?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Electrons are located in specific orbit corresponding to discrete energy levels

Explanation:

In Bohr's model of the atom, electron orbit the nucleus in specific levels, each of them corresponding to a specific energy. The electrons cannot be located in the space between two levels: this means that only some values of energy are possible for the electrons, so the energy levels are quantized.

A confirmation of Bohr's model is found in the spectrum of emission of gases. In fact, when an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits a photon whose energy is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels: since the energy levels are discrete, this means that the emitted photons cannot have any value of wavelength, but also their wavelength will appear as a discrete spectrum. This is exactly what it is observed in the spectrum of emission of gases.
