Answer:

The Normal and Gravitational Force

Explanation:

The normal force pushes up and is between the ground and the scale. The gravitational force is the force exerted on the ground.

Three resistors of 10.0 W, 20.0 W, and 25.0 W are connected in parallel across a 100-V battery. What is the equivalent resistanc

leva [86]

In a parallel connection, the equivalent resistance is the summation of the inverse of each individual resistances. It is mathematically expressed as 1/ Req = 1/10 +1/20 + 1/25 = 5.263 ohms. Also, the voltage across each resistor is equal to the input voltage, therefore I = 100 / 10 = 10 Amps. I hope this helped you.

Gravitational forces is ------ force

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Gravitational force is noncontact force

Explanation:

Contact force occurs due to the contact between two different objects. Non-contact force occurs due to either attraction or repulsion between two objects such that there is no contact between these objects. There is no field linked with the contact force. ... Gravitational force is an example of a non-contact force.

Why would companies want their sunscreen to absorb nearly all of the UV light?

miskamm [114]

Answer:

Sunscreen is like a shield, you would want a better shield to protect you than a weak one so companies try to make their sunscreen better than the rest.

Both the lens and the cornea of the eye have a primary function of

3241004551 [841]

Answer: B. bending light

Explanation:

The phenomenom of vision in human eye is thanks to refraction (when light changes its direction as it passes through one medium to another), and this is what the cornea and the lens do.

When the ray of light encounters the eye, the first thing it finds is the cornea, which bends this ray and begins to form an image, then light passes through the pupil, which is in charge of regulating the amount of light that enters in the eye.

After light travels through pupil it passes through the lens, where the rays of light change the direction again in order to focus the formed image on the retina.

At this point it is important to note the formed image is downward, then the retina transforms light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve and finally the brain interprets these messages, and forms a right upward image.

In the image attached these parts can be seen.

Light travels through a liquid at 2.25e8 m/s. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The index of refraction of light in a medium ( n ) determines the degree of "bending" of light in that medium.

- The index of refraction is material property and proportional to density of the material.

- The denser the material the slower the light will move through associated with considerable diffraction angles.

- The lighter the material the faster the light pass through the material without being diffracted as much.

- So, in the other words index of refraction can be expressed as how fast or slow light passes through a medium.

- The reference of comparison of how fast or slow the light is the value of c = 3.0*10^8 m/s i.e speed of light in vacuum or also assumed to be the case for air.

- so we can mathematically express the index of refraction as a ratio of light speed in the material specified and speed of light.

- The light passes through a liquid with speed v = 2.25*10^8 m/s :

$n = c / v\\\\n = \frac{ 3*10^8 }{2.25*10^8} \\\\n = 1.33$

- The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water.
