The answer is polarization. It is just like when you are on a boat and use polarized glasses so the water wont reflect into your eyes it also intensifies the color of the water so you can see better into the water.
example: you cant see any fish because glare from the sun, put on polarized glasses and now you can see fish up to 30 feet deep.

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Solving the first image question:

C ) The resulting force is defined by Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of the forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration. That is, there must be a force that acts on a body to produce an acceleration. If there is no acceleration it is because there are no external forces or developed by the body. And if there is no acceleration the body moves at a constant speed, in a straight line, so the response is C.

For the second image, we must remember that weight is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W = m*g

where:

W = weight [N]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration [m/s²]

Now we have

m = 50 [kg]

ge = Earth gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]

gp = Distant planet gravity acceleration = 4 [m/s²]

We = ge*m

We = 10*50 = 500 [N]

Wp =gp*m

Wp = 4*50 = 200 [N]

Therefore the answer is D

For the third image, The mass is always going to be preserved, regardless of where the body or object is in space, its weight is the only one that changes since the gravitational force is modified. That is, the mass on the moon and on Earth will always be the same.

m = 70 [kg]

First, we must calculate the acceleration, by means of the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{o} +a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 20 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (because stars from the rest)

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 4 [s]

20 = 0 + a*4

20 = 4*a

a = 5 [m/s²]

Now using Newton's second law which tells us that the total force acting on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

F = m*a

where:

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 2 [kg]

a = acceleration = 5 [m/s²]

F = 2*5

F = 10 [N]

The body of Figure D, since a total force of 25 [N] to the left acts on it, in the rest of cases the force is zero or much less than 25 [N]

50 + 40 - 35 - 30 = F

F = 25 [N]

A single insulated duct flow experiment using air operating at steady-state is performed in a lab. One measurement location (Sta
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a) -0.0934 kJ/kg. K

b) The direction of flow is from right to left.

Explanation:

A free flow diagram of the horizontal insulated duct is as shown below.

NOW,

Let assume that the direction of flow is from left to right and consider the following relation for the entropy rate balance equation for a control volume as:

\frac{\sigma_{cv}}{m}= (s_2-s_1) \geq  0 \ \ \ -------> \ \ \ 1

Now; if the value for this relation is greater than zero; then we conclude that our assumption is correct.

If the value is less than zero; then we conclude that the assumption is wrong.

Then, the flow is said to be  in the opposite direction

Formula for the change in specific entropy can be calculated as:

s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) - s^0(T_1)-R \ In ( \frac{P_2}{P-1}) \ \ \  ------->  \ \ \ 2

where;

s_1, s_2 , s^0(T_2), s^0(T1) are specific entropies

R = universal gas constant

P_1 = pressure at location 1

P_2 = pressure at location 2

We obtain the specific properties of air at temperature at T_1 = (67°C + 273)K = 340 K from the table A-22 ( Ideal gas properties of air)

s^0(T1) = 1.8279 kJ/kg.K

We also obtain the specific properties of air at temperature T_2 = 22°C + 273) K = 295 K

From the table A- 22

s^0(T_2) = 1.68515 kJ/kg . K

R = \frac{8.314 kJ}{28.97 kg.K}

P_1 = 0.95 bar

P_2 = 0.8 bar

Now replacing our values  into equation (2) from above; we have;

s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) -s^0(T_1)-R \ In (\frac{P_2}{P_1} )

s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279-\frac{8.314}{28.97}  \ In (\frac{0.8}{0.95} )

s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279+ 0.0493

s_2-s_1 =-0.0934 \  kJ/kg.K

Equating our result to equation (1)

s_2-s_1 \geq 0\\-0.0934 \leq 0

Therefore , our assumption is wrong and the direction of flow is said to be from right to left.

We therefore conclude that the direction of flow is from right to left.

How much work must be done to stop a 1100-kg car traveling at 112 km/h?(Hint: You will need to convert the speed first.)Answer:
zimovet [89]

According to the Work-Energy Theorem, the work done on an object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object:

W=\Delta K

Since the car ends with a kinetic energy of 0J (because it stops), then the work needed to stop the car is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the car:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Replace m=1100kg and v=112km/h. Write the speed in m/s. Remember that 1m/s = 3.6km/h:

\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(1100kg)\left(112\frac{km}{h}\times\frac{1\frac{m}{s}}{3.6\frac{km}{h}}\right)^2=532,345.679...J \\  \\ \therefore K\approx532,346J \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is: 532,346 J.

Describe how sound waves move through different types of matter. Compare the speed at which sound moves through solids, liquids,
Andru [333]
Sound waves need different media in order to travel. This travels by the movement of the atom transferred to another up to its destination. The speed of sound is greatest in solids since the molecules of solid are closely packed together, followed by liquid and they are slowest in gases.
