7 0

Explanation:

It is given that, the height of a certain tower is 862 feet i.e to reach on the ground the object should travel, s = 862 feet

The distance traveled by a freely falling object is given by :

s(t)=16t^2

16t^2=862

t=\sqrt{53.875}

t = 7.34 seconds

So, the object will take 7.34 seconds to fall to the ground from the top of the​ building. Hence, this is the required solution.

The law of reflection establishes a definite relationship between the angle of incidence of a light ray striking the boundary be
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection.

Explanation:

Reflection is the phenomenon that occurs when a ray of light hits the boundary between two media and it is reflected back into the first medium.

In such a situation, we call:

- angle of incidence: it is the angle between the direction of the incident ray and the normal to the surface

- angle of reflection: it is the angle between the direction of the reflected ray and the normal to the surface

There is a precise relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. In fact, the Law of Reflection states that:

- The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the surface all lie within the same plane

- The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

Discuss velocity by providing at least one example and explain why velocity is either a scalar or vector quantity.
grandymaker [24]
Velocity is speed plus direction, so an example of velocity would be a vehicle traveling at 75mph north. Velocity is a vector quantity because it describes both magnitude and direction.

What resistance would produce a current of 200A with a potiential difference of 200V?
viktelen [127]
Aw, I hate physics, is this on Apex?

Resistance can be calculated with the information given in the question.
Equation for Resistance: R = V/I
V (voltage) = 200 Volts
I (current) = 200 Amps

So 200 divided by 200 = freaking 1

Answer: R = 1 (ohms)

Hope this Helps!

The early workers in spectroscopy (Fraunhofer with the solar spectrum, Bunsen and Kirchhoff with laboratory spectra) discovered
Anestetic [448]

The hot gases produce their own characteristic pattern of spectral lines, which remain fixed as the temperature increases moderately.

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

A continuous light spectrum emitted by excited atoms of a hot gas with dark spaces in between due to scattered light of specific wavelengths is termed as an atomic spectrum. A hot gas has excited electrons and produces an emission spectrum; the scattered light forming dark bands are called spectral lines.

Fraunhofer closely observed sunlight by expanding the spectrum and a huge number of dark spectral lines were seen.  "Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff" discovered that when certain chemicals were burnt using a Bunsen burner, atomic spectra with spectral lines were seen. Atomic spectral pattern is thus a unique characteristic of any gas and can be used to independently identify presence of elements.

The spectrum change does not depend greatly on increasing temperatures and hence no significant change is observed in the emitted spectrum with moderate increase in temperature.
