When a person's temperature reaches 104 degrees, the chances of survival are decreased dramatically. Group of answer choices Tru
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

With the increase in temperature hypothalamus fails and heatstroke occurs due to this failure. Hypothalamus is the region of our brain that act as a thermostat. It co-ordinates our physiological response to excessive heat. When the person’s temperature reaches to 104 degrees then it causes heatstroke. This heatstroke is very sudden and can kill person. Hence, we can conclude that when person’s temperature reaches to 104 degrees chances of survival decreases dramatically.

If two asteroids moved closer together, what would be the result on the gravitational force each asteroid exerts on the other?
spayn [35]
Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids.
As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.

Which condition is necessary for total internal reflection? A. The refracted ray should lie along the boundary of the two media.
g100num [7]

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection, which is when light hits the boundary between two mediums and reflects back into its original medium:

Light is about to pass from a more optically dense medium (slower) to a less optically dense medium (faster).

The angle of incidence is greater than the defined critical angle for the two mediums, which is given by:

θ = sin⁻¹(n_{fast}/n_{slow})

Where θ = critical angle, n_{fast} = refractive index of faster medium, n_{slow} = refractive index of slower medium.

Choice C gives one of the above necessary conditions.

Makovka662 [10]

A woman walks in a  straight line with the sun to her right at six o'clock in the morning.

The sun rises East of her, so the woman is walking toward the North pole.

A man walks in a straight line with the sun to his right at six o'clock in the  evening.

The sun sets West of him, so the man is walking toward the South pole.

The woman and the man are both walking along lines of constant longitude.
