Energy can not be created or destroyed but can change from one form to another.

example: as a roller coaster cart loses height the more speed it gains, the potential energy is transferred into kenetic energy

A diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat at an angle of 30° relative to the normal. If the index of
son4ous [18]

Answer:

<h2>35</h2>

Explanation:

According to snell's law which states that the ratio of the sin of incidence (i) to the angle of refraction(n) is a constant for a given pair of media.

sini/sinr = n

n is the constant = refractive index

Since the diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat, the refractive index n = nw/ng

nw is the refractive index of water and ng is that of glass

sini/sinr = nw/ng

given i = 30°, nw = 1.33, ng = 1.5, r = angle the light leave the glass

On substitution;

sin 30/sinr = 1.33/1.5

1.5sin30 = 1.33sinr

sinr = 1.5sin30/1.33

sinr = 0.75/1.33

sinr = 0.5639

r = arcsin0.5639

r ≈35°

angle the light leave the glass is 35°

Tyson Gay's best time to run 100.0 meters was 9.69 seconds. What was his average speed during this run, in miles per hour? (3.28
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

23.086 mile/h

Explanation:

Given,

Distance Tyson Gay run = 100 m

time of run, t = 9.69 s

average speed of the in mph = ?

Speed of the Gay = \dfrac{distance}{time}

v = \dfrac{100}{9.69}

     v = 10.32 m/s

1 m = 3.281 ft

10.32 m = 33.86 ft

1 mile = 5280 ft

1 ft = 1.8939 x 10⁻⁴ mile

33.86 ft/s = 6.413 x 10⁻³ miles/s

Speed of Tyson in mile/hr = 6.413 x 10⁻³ x 3600

                                           = 23.086 mile/h

Hence, speed of Tyson Gay's in mile/ hr is equal to 23.086 mph.

Please help me do this problem
Digiron [165]

Answer:

i) acceleration from B to D is 0, because the velocity is constant (stays the same)

ii) whatever units of distathat might be, we can calculate the number:

for 4 time-steps (2 to 6) the velocity is 6 per time step, that makes 24 distance units in these 4 time steps. it's the same the area underneath the graph.

there is also the vertical line from 0 to 2. we can calculate that distance like the area of a triangle with 2*6 / 2 = 6

the total distance from 0 to D is therefore 30

Which statement BEST explains why the specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat of most other substances?
solniwko [45]
Due to its polarity and hydrogen bonding water can absorb heat without a significant temperature change.. The high specific heat of water helps regulate the rate at which air changes temperature, which is why the temperature change between seasons is gradual instead of sudden, especially near the oceans.
