Answer:
It cancels recoil.
Explanation:
For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.
The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.
Answer:
Explanation:
Density = Mass / Volume = 850 / 40*10*5 = 0.425 g /cm^3
Answer:
0° C
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of ice, m = 50g
Mass of water, m(w) = 50g
Temperature of ice, T(i) = 0° C
Temperature of water, T(w) = 80° C
Also, it is known that
Specific heat of water, c = 1 cal/g/°C
Latent heat of ice, L(w) = 89 cal/g
Let us assume T to be the final temperature of mixture.
This makes the energy balance equation:
Heat gained by ice to change itself into water + heat gained by melted ice(water) to raise its temperature at T° C = heat lost by water to reach at T° C
m(i).L(i) + m(i).c(w)[T - 0] = m(w).c(w)[80 - T], on substituting, we have
50 * 80 + 50 * 1(T - 0) = 50 * 1(80 - T)
4000 + 50T = 4000 - 50T
0 = 100 T
T = 0° C
Thus, the final temperature is 0° C
Answer:
a) There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
b) 
Explanation:
a) We have the conversion
1 m = 100 cm
So there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
b) 1 inch = 2.54 cm
Answer:
1.7323
Explanation:
To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to refractive indices and Snell's law.
From the data given we have to:
Where n means the index of refraction.
We need to calculate the index of refraction of the liquid, then applying Snell's law we have:
Replacing the values we have:
Therefore the refractive index for the liquid is 1.7323
