Flint glass materials ​
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Flint glass is combination of silicon dioxide (SiO2) with lead or potassium. It creates a relatively high refractive index and high degree of light dispersing power compared to other types of glass.

An airplane travels 4000m in 16 seconds on a heading of 35 whats is its velocity
Marizza181 [45]

In the question, you just gave a complete and detailed
description of the plane's velocity vector:

       4,000/16  meters/second , heading 35 degrees .

You might want to simplify the speed and make it a unit rate,
but otherwise, it's perfect.

         250 meters/second, heading 35 degrees .

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The internet is most useful to them because they use it to communicate.

Explanation:

If I were to send a message to my brother in Florida, through the internet, while I'm in Pennsylvania he would get it in minutes. On the other hand if I were going to meet him and then explain what I wanted to tell him in person it would take a much longer time.

The Heaviside function H is defined by H(t)={0 if t&lt;0, 1 if t≥0 It is used in the study of electric circuits to represent the
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

V(t)= 240V* H(t-5)

Explanation:

The heaviside function is defined as:

H(t) =1 \quad t\geq 0\\H(t) =0 \quad t

so we see that the Heaviside function "switches on" whent=0, and remains switched on when t>0

If we want our heaviside function to switch on when t=5, we need the argument to the heaviside function to be 0 when t=5

Thus we define a function f:

f(t) = H(t-5)

The -5 term inside the heaviside function makes sure to displace the function 5 units to the right.

Now we just need to add a scale up factor of 240 V, because thats the voltage applied after the heaviside function switches on. (H(t-5) =1 when t\geq 5, so it becomes just a 1, which we can safely ignore.)

Therefore our final result is:

V(t)= 240V* H(t-5)

I have made a sketch for you, and added it as attachment.

Air pressure may be represented as a function of height above the surface of the Earth as shown below.. P(h) = P_0 e^-.00012h. .
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer. Second Option: .85p_o=p_o e^-.00012h


Solution:

P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)

Air pressure: P(h)

Height above the surface of the Earth (in meters): h

Air pressure at the sea level: Po

Height at which air pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea level:

h=?, P(h)=85% Po

P(h)=(85/100) Po

P(h)=0.85 Po

Replacing P(h) by 0.85 Po in the formula above:

P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)

0.85 Po = Po e^(-0.00012h)
