Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Any transparent surface in practical is neither a perfect absorber of electromagnetic waves neither a perfect reflector. Generally all the transparent surfaces reflect some amount of irradiation and the other parts are absorbed and transmitted.

<u>That is given by as relation:</u>

\alpha+\rho+\tau=1

where:

\alpha= absorptivity which is defined as the ratio of the absorbed radiation to the total irradiation

\rho= reflectivity is defined as the ratio of reflected radiation to the total irradiation

\tau= transmittivity is defined as the ratio of total transmitted radiation to the total irradiation

The driver of a 1750 kg car traveling on a horizontal road at 110 km/h suddenly applies the brakes. Due to a slippery pavement,
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: a=-2.4525 m/s^2

d=s=190.3 m

Explanation:The only force that is stopping the car and causing deceleration is the frictional force Fr

Fr = 25% of weight

W=mg

W=1750*9.81

W=17167.5

Hence

Fr=\frac{25}{100} * -17167.5\\\\Fr=-4291.875 N

Frictional force is negative as it acts in opposite direction

According to newton second law of motion

F=ma

hence

a=Fr/m

a=-4291.875/1750\\a=-2.4525

given

u= 110 km/h

u=110*1000/3600

u=30.55 m/s

to get t we know that final velocity v=0

v^2=u^2+2as\\0=30.55^2-2*2.4525*s\\s=190.34m

A car is traveling at 70 km/h. It then uniformly decelerates to a complete stop in 12 s. Find its acceleration ( in m/s2 ).
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Acceleration will be -1.620m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given initial speed of the car is 70 km/hr

We know that 1 km = 1000 m

And 1 hour = 3600 sec

So 70km/hr=70\times \frac{1000m}{3600sec}=19.444m/sec

It is given that car stops in 12 sec

So final speed of the car v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 12 sec

From first equation of motion v = u+at

So 0=19.444+a\times 12

a=\frac{-19.444}{12}=-1.620m/sec^2 ( negative sign indicates that speed of the car will constantly decrease )

Which of the following statements about Gaussʹs law are correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.) Question 3 options
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because, given this case, it is easier to calculate the field.

Option B is incorrect because, in a situation where the surface is placed inside a uniform field, option B is violated

Option C is also incorrect because it is possible to be a field from outside charges, but there will be an absence of net flux through the surface from these.

Hence, option D is the correct answer. "If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface."

The following best describes how an anthropogenic activity can increase ocean acidification?<br>​
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Emissions from power plants that burn fossil fuels increase atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by the ocean.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are burnt in power plants in order to produce energy. These fossil fuels contain carbon. Combustion of these fossil fuels emits oxides of carbon into the atmosphere. The oxides of carbon are carbon II oxide and carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide can be absorbed by the ocean to form carbonic acid according to the reaction equation;

CO2(aq) + H2O(l) ------> H2CO3(aq)

This is an anthropogenic activity which increases ocean acidification.

An us bomber is flying horizontally at 300 mph at an altitude of 610 m. its target is an iraqi oil tanker crusing 25kph in the s
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

=1419.19 meters.

Explanation:

The time it takes for the shell to drop to the tanker from the height, H =1/2gt²

610m=1/2×9.8×t²

t²=(610m×2)/9.8m/s²

t²=124.49s²

t=11.16 s

Therefore, it takes 11.16 seconds for a free fall from a height of 610m

Range= Initial velocity×time taken to hit the tanker.

R=v₁t

Lets change 300 mph to kph.

=300×1.60934 =482.802 kph

Relative velocity=482.802 kph-25 kph

=457.802 kph

Lets change 11.16 seconds to hours.

=11.16/(3600)

=0.0031 hours.

R=v₁t

=457.802 kph × 0.0031 hours.

=1.41918 km

=1.41919 km × 1000m/km

=1419.19 meters.
