The melting of polar ice caps is an example of the interaction between the atmosphere and cryosphere.

Answer: A

 Atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the earth, while cryosphere are all parts of the Earth where water is in solid form, including sea ice, lake ice, river ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, and frozen ground.

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km

Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km

Explanation:

If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be v_{AT}=v_A-v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where v_A is the speed of the automobile and v_T the speed of the train.

So we have v_{AT}=(95km/h)-(75Km/h)=20Km/h.

So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{20Km/h} = 0.065h=234s

And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.065h)=6.175Km

If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using v_{AT}=v_A+v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:

v_{AT}=(95km/h)+(75Km/h)=170Km/h

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{170Km/h} = 0.00765h=27.53s

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.00765h)=0.73Km

Two cannonballs are dropped from a second-floor physics lab at height h above the ground. Ball B has four times the mass of ball
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1:4

Explanation:

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is:

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

If the mass is multiplied by 4, then, the kinetic energy must be increased by 4 as well. Since they will be travelling at the same speed when they are at the same point, the relation between KA and KB must be 1:4 or 1/4. Hope this helps!

Study the interaction of the light rays with the mediums. Classify the medium in each image as being transparent or opaque.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

a) transparent

b) transparent

c) opaque

Explanation:

In the first one, the light rays go completely through, so it is transparent.

The second one I'm not too sure about. It is refraction so it's going through a different material, but the fact that it went through makes me say transparent.

Last one, the light rays are reflecting off the surface so it's opaque.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. This is just my understanding
