Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

It should be understood that transparency is caused through or by the transmission of light waves. This means that, If or when the energy known as the vibrational energy of a light wave is passed through the object, then the object appears clear, or transparent. And when or If the energy only causes vibrations in the surface before reflecting off the object, then the object will appear opaque, that is nontransparent.

Answer:

Telescope

Explanation:

Telescope is usually defined as an optical instrument that is commonly used to observe the objects in a magnified way that are located at a large distance from earth. These telescopes are comprised of lenses and curved mirrors that are needed to be arranged in a proper way in order to have a prominent look. It is commonly used by the astronomers.

This was first constructed by Hans Lippershey in the year 1608.

You stand on a bridge above a river and drop a rock into the water below from a height of 25 m. (Assume no air resistance)

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

PART a)

here when stone is dropped there is only gravitational force on it

so its acceleration is only due to gravity

so we will have

$a = g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Part b)

Now from kinematics equation we will have

$y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

now we have

y = 25 m

so from above equation

$25 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(9.8 )t^2$

$t = 2.26 s$

Part c)

If we throw the rock horizontally by speed 20 m/s

then in this case there is no change in the vertical velocity

so it will take same time to reach the water surface as it took initially

So t = 2.26 s

Part D)

Initial speed = 20 m/s

angle of projection = 65 degree

now we have

$v_x = vcos\theta$

$v_x = 20 cos65 = 8.45 m/s$

$v_y = vsin\theta$

$v_y = 20 sin65 = 18.13 m/s$

PART E)

when stone will reach to maximum height then we know that its final speed in y direction becomes zero

so here we can use kinematics in Y direction

$v_f - v_y = at$

$0 - 18.13 = (-9.8) t$

$t = 1.85 s$

so it will take 1.85 s to reach the top

How are hot spots used to track plate motion

DanielleElmas [232]

When plates move they sometimes open small cracks that release heat from under earths plate, coming from the mantle or even the core at times, this heat allows scientists to determine where the plates are moving from and where they are moving to.
