Answer:

Polarization, also called wave polarization, is an expression of the orientation of the lines of electric flux in an electromagnetic field ( EM field ). Polarization can be constant -- that is, existing in a particular orientation at all times, or it can rotate with each wave cycle.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!!!!!

Polarization also occurs when light is scattered while traveling through a medium. When light strikes the atoms of a material, it will often set the electrons of those atoms into vibration. The vibrating electrons then produce their own electromagnetic wave that is radiated outward in all directions.

Answer:

The students conclusion is wrong.

Explanation:

The students conclusion is wrong because liquids can not soak into concrete. The water evaporated because it was a hot sunny day. The water turned into a gas called water vapor.

The bar graph shows energy data taken from a roller coaster at a theme park. Analyze the data and assess its validity. In 3–5 se
alexdok [17]

The data given in the bar graph is valid because it follows the law of conservation of energy, since the GPE at top of 2nd hill plus KE at top of 2nd hill equals KE at bottom of 1st hill.

<h3>What is law of conservation of energy?</h3>

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

Based on the law of conservation of energy, kinetic energy of a roller coaster can be converted into potential energy of the roller coaster and vice versa.

ΔK.E = ΔP.E

where;

  • ΔK.E is change in kinetic energy
  • ΔP.E is change in potential energy

The kinetic energy of the coaster is greatest at the bottom of the hill, as the coaster moves upward, the kinetic energy decreases and will be converted into potential energy. The potential energy of the coaster increases as the coaster moves up the hill and will become maximum at the highest point of the hill.

From the given data;

GPE at top of 2nd hill + KE at top of 2nd hill = KE at bottom of 1st hill

What compounds are you made of?
Vanyuwa [196]
I am made of literally THOUSANDS of compounds ... too many to list here.
But the one compound that's most abundant, and actually comprises almost
80% of my entire beautiful body, is the compound DiHydrogen Oxide, with
the molecular formula H₂O .  This compound is commonly known as "water".

Consider the plot below describing motion along a straight line with an initial position of 10 m. −4 −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2
Ugo [173]

Answer:

+1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time interval in which the change in velocity occurs

To find the acceleration at 1 second, we can take the data at t = 1 s and t = 2. We find:

\Delta t = -3 -(-4) = 1 s

\Delta v = 2 - (1) = +1 m/s

So, the acceleration is

a=\frac{+1}{1}=+1 m/s^2
