Soap is a surfactant that contains hydrophobic or water-fearing and hydrophilic or water-loving ends that  is used for cleaning dirt. These hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties are what causes the surface tension of the fats and oils to lower.

Assume that the polymer material has a constant refractive index of 1.5. For light of 600nm wavelength at normal incidence, what
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence \lambda= 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

t=\frac{\lambda }{4n} , here t is thickness, \lambda is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Complete the following sentence: How much you pay in taxes depends on _________________________.
solong [7]

Answer:

How much you pay in taxes depends on the amount of your taxable income

Explanation:

The total amount expected to be payed as taxes is a factor of the amount of taxable income earned within the given tax period.

The taxable income is found by subtracting the amount of deductions and exemption allowed in the tax year from the gross income. It is also specified as the adjusted gross income

The set marginal  tax rate indicates the percentage of the taxable income that is to be paid as taxes, such that there are three different ranges or tax brackets and taxes are paid according to the bracket to which a taxable income belongs.

When one observes the phase of matter of water, one observes a property of matter.
FromTheMoon [43]

Water is a very unique substance because it can exist in all three phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas) within the normal temperature ranges found on Earth. When one observes the phase of matter of water, one observes a property of matter.

A 2,700-kg truck runs into the rear of a 1,000-kg car that was stationary. The truck and car are locked together after the colli
Leto [7]

Answer:

6200 J

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

The car is initially stationary.  The truck and car stick together after the collision, so they have the same final velocity.  Therefore:

m₁ u₁ = (m₁ + m₂) v

Solving for the truck's initial velocity:

(2700 kg) u = (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)

u = 4.11 m/s

The change in kinetic energy is therefore:

ΔKE = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v² − ½ m₁ u²

ΔKE = ½ (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)² − ½ (2700 kg) (4.11 m/s)²

ΔKE = -6200 J

6200 J of kinetic energy is "lost".
