A bug flies at a velocity of 0.75 m/s into an oncoming breeze blowing at 0.25 m/s. What is the resultant velocity of the bug?

1 answer:

4 0

0.5m/s. Take the velocity of the bug and subtract from the velocity of the oncoming breeze because they are opposite. If the breeze was in the same direction that the bug was flying, then your answer would be the sum of the two.

a light wave is traveling straight up out of the ocean then moves out into the air how do you expect the movement of the light w

Mariulka [41]

If the light is traveling straight up, then it hits the interface (surface
or boundary) between water and air perpendicularly (90° to the surface).

This direction is the direction of the 'normal' to the surface. So the
angle of incidence is zero, and that means the angle of refraction is
also zero. The light just keeps going in the same direction when it
emerges into the air, and is not bent.

However, its speed increases in air, and that means its wavelength
also becomes longer than it was in the water.

Use the balanced equation of a nitrogen cycle pathway below to support the conservation of matter and energy.

mojhsa [17]

Explanation :

Given equation

$N_{2} + 8H \rightarrow 2NH_{3} + H_{2}$

This equation is balanced. because the number of reactants is equal to the number of products.

According to conservation of matter and energy,

The conservation of matter and energy states that matter can not create and can not destroy but conserved. we can only change one form to another form of the matter and energy.

So, we can say energy conserved and the ,mass of the system always same over time.
