I think it is "A'' 'It moves along straight lines in air and changes direction when it enters water.
galben [10]4 years ago

The correct choice is

A. It moves along straight lines in air and changes direction when it enters water.

This is because of phenomenon of refraction which  a ray of light experience when it moves from one medium to another medium. The light ray bends away  from the normal to the surface if it travels from denser to rarer medium. The light ray bends towards from the normal to the surface if it travels from rarer to denser medium.

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.
labwork [276]

Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.

Therefore we can write:

W=K_f -K_i

where in this case:

W = -36,733 J is the work done by the parachute (negative because it is opposite to the motion)

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy of the car

K_f is the final kinetic energy

Solving,

K_f = K_i + W=66,120+(-36,733)=29387 J

The final kinetic energy of the car can be written as

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

where

m = 661 kg is its mass

v is its final speed

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s

  • The complexity of Earth is beyond the capabilities of computer simulations.
  • Numerous assumptions that must be made by computer models have a big impact on the forecasts they produce.
  • A computer model can incorporate historical climate data, but it is not possible to draw assumptions about future climates using this data in any way.
  • A computer model cannot distinguish between anthropogenic climate change and natural climatic fluctuations.
<h3>How precise are temperature forecasts made by climate models?</h3>

The forecasting of global surface temperatures is one of the most significant results of climate models.

Scientists evaluate the effectiveness of their models by contrasting observations of the Earth's climate with predictions of future temperatures and "hindcasts" of past temperatures. Then, by comparing specific climate models and the average of all models to actual warming, scientists may determine whether temperature projections are accurate.

Researchers can have more faith that models can effectively predict future changes in the same factors if they successfully simulate the climate response in the past.

Describe the nature of sunlight using the following: wavelength, electromagnetic spectrum, visible light, photons.
kogti [31]

Answer:

due to the effect of gravity begins thermonuclear fusion processes, in these processes energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

The Sun is a star of great size, which due to the effect of gravity begins thermonuclear fusion processes, in these processes energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

This radiation crosses the different layers of the Sun and escapes from it in the form of light that is emitted throughout the radiation spectrum, due to the temperature reached by the Sun about 5500K the most likely radiation is around 5500 nm corresponding to the green- yellow of the visible spectrum, but the entire spectrum is emitted with different intensity according to Stefan's law

     

In quantum mechanics this spectrum can also be analyzed as the emission of particles called photons, where each one is characterized by an energy and has a moment equal to zero, the energy of these photons is related to their frequency by the Planck equation

                   E = h f
