Reflection is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface. ... This is called specular reflection

Just look
It up

Astronomers determine that a certain square region in interstellar space has an area of approximately 2.4 \times 10^72.4×10 7

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

1.5 × 10³⁶ light-years

Explanation:

A certain square region in interstellar space has an area of approximately 2.4 × 10⁷² (light-years)². The area of a square can be calculated using the following expression.

A = l²

where,

A is the area of the square

l is the side of the square

l = √A = √2.4 × 10⁷² (light-years)² = 1.5 × 10³⁶ light-years

An arrow is launched with an initial velocity of 7.6 m/s at an angle of 42 degrees above the horizontal. What is the horizontal

AleksAgata [21]

Explanation:

At any point on the arrow's trajectory, the horizontal component of the velocity is the same. Therefore, the horizontal component of the velocity at the top of its trajectory is

$v_x = v_{0x} = v_0\cos{42°} = (7.6\:\text{m/s})\cos{42°}$

$\:\:\:\:\:=5.6\:\text{m/s}$

a layer of sandstone is in contact with a mass of granite. the sandstone contains small fragments of the granite. which rock is

lara31 [8.8K]

The granite would be older. As millions of years go by, rocks are affected by weathering and erosion. These processes break down rocks and scatter them. Rocks are broken down into sediments, which mix with other layers, which could have been the reason how the layer of sandstone contains the small fragments of granite.

A satellite orbits a planet of unknown mass in a circular orbit of radius 2.3 x 104 km. The gravitational force on the satellite

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is $KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the orbit is $r = 2.3 *10^{4} \ km = 2.3 *10^{7} \ m$

The gravitational force is $F_g = 6600 \ N$

The kinetic energy of the satellite is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$

where v is the speed of the satellite which is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r^2} }$

=> $v^2 = \frac{GM }{r}$

substituting this into the equation

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *\frac{GMm}{r}$

Now the gravitational force of the planet is mathematically represented as

$F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where M is the mass of the planet and m is the mass of the satellite

Now looking at the formula for KE we see that we can represent it as

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *[\frac{GMm}{r^2}] * r$

=> $KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *F_g * r$

substituting values

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *6600 * 2.3*10^{7}$

$KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

Why are the freezing points of water and the melting point the same

Sladkaya [172]

Because melting point and freezing point describe thesame transition of matter, in this case from liquid to solid (freezing) or equivalently, from solid to liquid (melting).
