Answer:

The two factors that increase the size of a population are natality, which is the number of individuals that are added to the population over a period of time due to reproduction, and immigration, which is the migration of an individual into a place.

The Trojan asteroids are found:_________ a) orbiting around the Kuiper Belt body Hector. b) beyond Neptune, with orbits similar

xenn [34]

Answer:

The correct option is;

c) sixty degrees ahead or behind Jupiter, sharing its orbit about the Sun.

Explanation:

The Trojan asteroids are the Jupiter trojans consists of asteroid that are on the same orbit as Jupiter while moving around the Sun. The Trojans can be located at the points Lagrange points L4 and L5, which are 60° ahead and 60° behind Jupiter's orbit respectively.

The first Trojan asteroid to be detected was 588 Achilles by Max Wolf in 1906. At at October, the total number of the identified Trojan asteroid was 7,040.

A 100 kg roller coaster comes over the first hill at 2 m/sec (vo). The height of the first hill (h) is 20 meters. See roller dia

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

For the 100 kg roller coaster that comes over the first hill of height 20 meters at 2 m/s, we have:

1) The total energy for the roller coaster at the initial point is 19820 J

2) The potential energy at point A is 19620 J

3) The kinetic energy at point B is 10010 J

4) The potential energy at point C is zero

5) The kinetic energy at point C is 19820 J

6) The velocity of the roller coaster at point C is 19.91 m/s

1) The total energy for the roller coaster at the initial point can be found as follows:

$E_{t} = KE_{i} + PE_{i}$

Where:

KE: is the kinetic energy = (1/2)mv₀²

m: is the mass of the roller coaster = 100 kg

v₀: is the initial velocity = 2 m/s

PE: is the potential energy = mgh

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 20 m

The total energy is:

$E_{t} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^{2} + mgh = \frac{1}{2}*100 kg*(2 m/s)^{2} + 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*20 m = 19820 J$

Hence, the total energy for the roller coaster at the initial point is 19820 J.

2) The potential energy at point A is:

$PE_{A} = mgh_{A} = 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*20 m = 19620 J$

Then, the potential energy at point A is 19620 J.

3) The kinetic energy at point B is the following:

$KE_{A} + PE_{A} = KE_{B} + PE_{B}$

$KE_{B} = KE_{A} + PE_{A} - PE_{B}$

Since

$KE_{A} + PE_{A} = KE_{i} + PE_{i}$

we have:

$KE_{B} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} - PE_{B} = 19820 J - mgh_{B} = 19820 J - 100kg*9.81m/s^{2}*10 m = 10010 J$

Hence, the kinetic energy at point B is 10010 J.

4) The potential energy at point C is zero because h = 0 meters.

$PE_{C} = mgh = 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*0 m = 0 J$

5) The kinetic energy of the roller coaster at point C is:

$KE_{i} + PE_{i} = KE_{C} + PE_{C}$

$KE_{C} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} = 19820 J$

Therefore, the kinetic energy at point C is 19820 J.

6) The velocity of the roller coaster at point C is given by:

$KE_{C} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{C}^{2}$

$v_{C} = \sqrt{\frac{2KE_{C}}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*19820 J}{100 kg}} = 19.91 m/s$

Hence, the velocity of the roller coaster at point C is 19.91 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir

TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

$I=I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_ {0}$ indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

$\theta$ indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

$I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)$

Replacing the values,

$I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)$

$I=100*cos^4(20)$

$I=77.91W/m^2$

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is $77.91W/m^2$

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass is 42.555 - 42.283 = 0.272 degrees.

Explanation:

Given that,

The respective indices of refraction for the blue light and the red light are 1.4636 and 1.4561.

A ray of light consisting of blue light (wavelength 480 nm) and red light (wavelength 670 nm) is incident on a thick piece of glass at 80 degrees.

We need to find the angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass.

Using Snell's law for red light as :

$n_1\sin\theta_1=n_2\sin\theta_2\\\\\theta_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{n_2}{n_1})\sin\theta_1)\\\\\theta_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{1}{1.4561})\sin(80))\\\\\theta_2=42.555$

Again using Snell's law for blue light as :

$n_1\sin\theta_1=n_2\sin\theta'_2\\\\\theta'_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{n_2}{n_1})\sin\theta_1)\\\\\theta'_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{1}{1.4636 })\sin(80))\\\\\theta'_2=42.283$

The angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass is 42.555 - 42.283 = 0.272 degrees.
