Because the mouth breaks down the food and the stomach uses acid to break food down even more

Answer: To complete the process of digestion after the food is ingested by mouth.

Explanation:

The food that we eat is ingested by mouth and here the mechanical degradation of food takes place. This breaks down the food into smaller pieces.

Mouth also contains the enzyme that is responsible for the digestion of starch.

Then the food from the mouth reaches the stomach where various types of digestive juices and enzymes are secreted to digested the food.

Hence, mouth and stomach must be near in the digestive system.

A light beam is traveling through an unknown substance. When it exits that substance and enters into air, the angle of reflectio
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

0.79

Explanation:

Using Snell's law, we have that:

n(1) * sin θ1 = n(2) * sinθ2

Where n(1) = refractive index of air = 1.0003

θ1 = angle of incidence

n(2) = refractive index of second substance

θ2 = angle of refraction

The angle of reflection through the unknown substance is the same as the angle of incidence of air. This means that θ1 = 32°

=> 1.0003 * sin32 = n(2) * sin42

n(2) = (1.0003 * sin32) / sin42

n(2) = 0.79

State the relative position for the sun and earth during the lunar eclipse (ASAP)
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line. In this case the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view.

A balloon drifts 14 km at an angle of 30º to the ground. What is the vertical component of the balloon
ivanzaharov [21]

Sin is the vertical component. So multiply sin 30 and 14. BOOM! You got the answer.

\sin(30)  \times 14 \:  = 7
