<span>Astronomers are able to determine facts about the composition of these moons by examining the nature of light that is reflected from their surfacy using a method called spectroscopy. This process works because different materials tend to reflect light at different wavelengths So, by observing at which wavelengths a planetary body reflects light, astronomers are able to estimate its composition.</span>

Answer:

Explanation: This Law of Superposition is fundamental to the interpretation of Earth history, because at any one location it indicates the relative ages of rock layers and the fossils in them.

A ball is dropped from rest at a point 12 m above the ground into a smooth, frictionless chute. The ball exits the chute 2 m abo
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

29,7 m

Explanation:

We need to devide the problem in two parts:

A)  Energy

B) MRUV

<u>Energy:</u>

Since no friction between pint (1) and (2), then the energy conservatets:

Energy = constant ----> Ek(cinética) + Ep(potencial) = constant

Ek1 + Ep1 = Ek2 + Ep2

Ek1 = 0  ; because V1 is zero (the ball is "dropped")

Ep1 = m*g*H1

Ep2= m*g*H2

Then:

Ek2  = m*g*(H1-H2)

By definition of cinetic energy:

m*(V2)²/2 = m*g*(H1-H2) --->  V2 = \sqrt{(2*g*(H1-H2)}

Replaced values:  V2 = 14,0 m/s

<u>MRUV:</u>

The decomposition of the velocity (V2), gives a for the horizontal component:

V2x = V2*cos(α)

Then the traveled distance is:

X = V2*cos(α)*t.... but what time?

The time what takes the ball hit the ground.

Since: Y3 - Y2 = V2*t + (1/2)*(-g)*t²

In the vertical  axis:

Y3 = 0 ; Y2 = H2 = 2 m

Reeplacing:

-2 = 14*t + (1/2)*(-9,81)*t²

solving the ecuation, the only positive solution is:

t = 2,99 sec ≈ 3 sec

Then, for the distance:

X = V2*cos(α)*t = (14 m/s)*(cos45°)*(3sec) ≈ 29,7 m
