Answer:

<em>The power generated is =  5.33×10⁸ Watt. </em>

Explanation:

Power: Power can be defined as the time rate of doing work. The S.I unit of power is <em>Watt(W).</em>

<em>Mathematically,</em>

<em>Power (P) = Work done/time or Energy/time</em>

P = mgh/t............................... Equation 1

P = δgh............................. Equation 2

Where δ = fall rate, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

<em>Given: </em>δ = 1.1×10⁶ kg/s, h = 49.4 m g = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 2

P = 1.1×10⁶×49.4×9.81

P = 533.08×10⁶

<em>P = 5.33×10⁸ Watt.</em>

<em>Thus the power generated is =  5.33×10⁸ Watt. </em>

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surf
Sati [7]

Answer:

a) The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b) the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Explanation:  

Given the data in the question;

a) The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?

t_{min = λ/2n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and  index of refraction of the oil n = 1.20

we substitute

t_{min = 750 / 2(1.20)

t_{min = 750 / 2.4

t_{min = 312.5 ≈ 313 nm

Therefore, The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b)

Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now?

minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be;

t_{min = λ/4n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and  index of refraction of the oil n = 1.50

we substitute

t_{min = 750 / 4(1.50)

t_{min = 750 / 6

t_{min = 125 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Describe the body's typical state during the first stage of sleep. (Site 1)
Ksju [112]

Answer:

There are four different stages of sleep.

Stage 1 NREM

Explanation:

<em>The process of firmly falling asleep has four stages through which a person goes.</em>

<em>It goes from being awake over light sleep and falling firmly into sleeping.</em>

(STAGE 1)

This is a stage in which there are non-rapid movements of the eyes. In other words, it is a process of dreamless sleep. You enter this stage the moment you decide to sleep and shut your eyes. After several minutes, your body is in fact in the sleeping mode, but not entirely. This means that you can easily be woken up without being aware that you have slept.

Features:

  1. <em>You can easily awake</em>
  2. <em>Your may roll and they may be a little open</em>
  3. <em>The blood pressure and the temperature of the brain start to decrease </em>
  4. <em>You experience the natural human reflexes that the brain sends to assure that the place of your sleep is in a safe environment. By sending twitches to your muscles, your brain may awake your body for several seconds which comes in handy if you are tired and close to sleep on work or some dangerous place like a cliff for example.</em>
  5. <em>Your breading starts to slow down alongside with your pressure and temperature, and your heartbeats slow down.</em>
