Answer:

The correct answer is option B. coal

Explanation:

Coal is made of remains of organic material including trees and other vegetation which got trapped beneath the earth’s surface or at the bottom of the swamps. After burial below the ground the organic material was acted upon by the high temperature and pressure in the absence of air to form peat. Peat after further processing for a longer period of time converted into coal

A laser beam is incident at an angle of 30.0° from the vertical onto a solution of corn syrup in water. The beam is refracted to
dimaraw [331]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Angle of incidence,i=30^{\circ}

Angle of refraction,r=19.24^{\circ}

a.Refractive index of air,n_1=1

We know that

n_2sinr=n_1sini

n_2=\frac{n_1sin i}{sin r}=\frac{sin30}{sin19.24}=1.517

b.Wavelength of red light in vacuum,\lambda=632.8nm=632.8\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

Wavelength in the solution,\lambda'=\frac{\lambda}{n_2}

\lambda'=\frac{632.8}{1.517}=417nm

c.Frequency does not change .It remains same in vacuum and solution.

Frequency,\nu=\frac{c}{\lamda}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{632.8\times 10^{-9}}

Where c=3\times 10^8 m/s

Frequency,\nu=4.74\times 10^{14}Hz

d.Speed in the solution,v=\frac{c}{n_2}

v=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1.517}=1.98\times 10^8m/s

You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height (h) from the starting
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

h = 50.49 m

Explanation:

Data provided:

Speed of skier, u = 2.0 m/s

Maximum safe speed of the skier, v = 30.0 m/s

Mass of the skier, m = 85.0

Total work = 4000 J

Height from the starting gate = h

Now, from the law of conservation of energy

Total energy at the gate = total energy at the time maximum speed is reached

\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=4000J+\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity

on substituting the values, we get

\frac{1}{2}\times85\times2.0^2+85\times9.81\times h=4000J+\frac{1}{2}\times85\times30^2

or

170 + 833.85 × h = 4000 + 38250

or

h = 50.49 m

Vaselesa [24]

During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between Earth and the sun. This completely blocks out the sun’s light. However, the moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun. How can it block all of that light?
