Answer:

observation

Explanation:

Through an observation information is acquired. The acquiring of information must be through the five senses directly or indirectly. When a person takes an observation using eyes it is a form direct observation. When a person takes an observation using scientific instruments it is a form indirect observation.

Inference is the deduction of observations taken.

Here, the sun rose at 6:54 this morning is an observation i.e., a person saw the sun rise at 6:54. It has not been deduced that the sun rose at 6:54.

Observation: You saw/ observed something and you are stating that.

Inference: You are predicting something to be true. If so and so, then this will occur.

How much kinetic energy the truck still has

seropon [69]

Answer:

47.5kJ

Explanation:

Before climbing the cliff

$E_t = E_k$

$E_k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\E_k=\frac{1}{2} 500*15^2\\\\E_k = 56250J\\$

At 2.

$E_t = E_k+E_p$

At what angle should the axes of two Polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to 1515

Talja [164]

Complete Question

At what angle should the axes of two Polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to 1/5.

Answer:

The angle is

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The light emerging from second Polaroid is 1/5 the unpolarized

Generally the intensity of light emerging from the first Polaroid is mathematically represented as

$I_1 = \frac{I_o}{ 2 }$

Generally from the Malus law the intensity of light emerging from the second Polaroid is mathematically represented

$I_2 = I_1 cos^2 (\theta )$

=> $cos^2 (\theta ) = \frac{I_2}{I_1 }$

=> $cos (\theta) = \sqrt{ \frac{I_2}{I_1} }$

From the question $I_2 = \frac{I_o}{5}$

$cos (\theta) = \sqrt{ \frac{ \frac{ I_o}{5} }{\frac{I_o}{2} } }$

$cos (\theta) = \sqrt{ \frac{2}{5} }$

=> $\theta = cos ^{-1} [\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} ]$

=> $\theta = 50.77^o$

How does the surface tension of water compared with the surface tension of most other liquids?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Surface tension is the direct measure of the cohesive forces between liquid molecules that allows them to form "film", making it more difficult to move an object through the liquid surface. Compared to other known liqiuds, the surface tension of water is much greater.
