He loss KE hope this helps

It gains it. As it was stationary before it fell, it had gravitational potential energy, which in terms means it had zero kinetic energy. As it started falling, that GPE was converted to kinetic energy which means an obvious gain in said energy.

Hope this helped!

Special relativity can be used to study an object in which frame of reference?
Tresset [83]
Special relativity led the path for general relativity; special relativity is in a sense a special application of the rules of general relativity. While general relativity is in position to tackle all of these problems, special relativity can tackle only problems in inertial frames. Inertial frame means that the frame of reference is inot accelerating. So, we disqualify answers A and D. However, remember that moving in a circle means that there is an acceleration, the centrifugal one, even if the speed does not change. Hence C is also incorrect.
The correct answer is B, since if there is no change in velocity, the frame does not accelerate and it is inertial.

A liquid has a volume of 100 cm and a mass of 85g.
djyliett [7]

Answer:

B. Its density is lower than that of water

Explanation:

density = mass / volume

density of the liquid = 85 / 100 = 0.85 g/cm^3

now,

density of water is 1 g/cm^3 which is greater than the density of the given liquid ( 0.85 g/cm^3 )

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°

Explanation:

According to Snell's Law,

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n

n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)

Note that from trigonometric relations,

Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁

n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁

(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1

tan θ₁ = 1

θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°

Hope this Helps!!!

How is the pressure of a gas related to its concentration of particles?A) Pressure will expand a gas, enlarging its volume and r
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

C) Pressure will compress a gas, reducing its volume and giving it a greater density and concentration of particles.

Explanation:

At constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely related.

P V = constant

\Rightarrow P \propto \frac{1}{V}

As the pressure increases, the gas compresses, the particles come closer reducing the volume of gas.

As we know, with decrease in volume, density increases.

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density \propto \frac{1}{Volume}

Thus, the pressure of a gas is directly related to concentration of particles. Increase in pressure causes increase in concentration of the particles.
