Answer:

Total Internal Reflection

Explanation:

An arthroscope is an optical fiber which is used to examine knee by doctor. Light is transmitted through this scope using the phenomenon of Total internal reflection of light. When light is incident upon an interface of denser to rarer medium at a certain angle (which is greater than the critical angle), it undergoes total internal reflection within it. In this way, light is transmitted through thin optical fibers and can be used for various purposes.

Sample Response: The technology being described is fiber optics. Since they are small and flexible, they enable doctors to see areas that they might otherwise be unable to see without surgery.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

One of Eight Planets : Earth

Spiral galaxy, One of the estimated billions of galaxies: Milky Way

Galaxy: Milky Way

Explanation:

According to the definition, appositive or apposition is a grammatical construction which represents similar noun phrases and nouns where one serves or defines the other one.

Here, the ultimate examples of apposition are mentioned in the given statement as Earth: One of Eight Planets, Milky Way: Spiral Galaxy and one of the estimated billions of galaxies: Milky Way.

With such kinds of words, it's easier to understand the noun or renames with a short definition written as a phrase.

Rearrange the equation current = voltage/resistance to express resistance in terms of current and voltage. Then solve the follow
MissTica

Answer:

Resistance, R = 13 ohms

Explanation:

The Ohm's law gives the direct relationship between the voltage, current and the resistance of the device. The relation is as follows :

V=IR

Where

I is the current

r is the resistance

The value of resistance is given by :

R=\dfrac{V}{I}

According to given data,

Voltage of the circuit, V = 130 V

Current rating of the circuit, I = 10 A

Resistance of the device,

R=\dfrac{130\ V}{10\ A}

R = 13 ohms

So, the resistance of the device is 13 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18 m/s. (a) How long does it take the stone to reach a height of 11 m? (b) h
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

a) It takes the stone 0.7743 s to reach a height of 11 m for the first time on its way up and 2.899 s to reach again that height on its way down.

b) At t = 0.7743 s the velocity is 10.41 m/s and at t = 2.899 s the velocity is -10.41 m/s.

c) There are two answers because the stone reaches the height of 11 m one time on its way up and one more time again on its way down.

Please, see the attached figures and the explanation for a description of the figures.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations for the height and velocity of the stone are as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

v = velocity at time t

a) Let´s calculate the time it takes the stone to reach a height of 11 m. The origin of the frame of reference is at the throwing point so that y0 = 0:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²        

11 m = 18 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²    

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 18 m/s · t - 11 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 0.7743 s and t = 2.899 s

(Notice that I have used more significant figures to avoid error by rounding)

The stone will be two times at a height of 11 m, one on its way up (at 0.7743 s) and one on its way down  (at 2.899 s). Then, it takes the stone 0.7743 s to reach a height of  11 m for the first time.

b)  Let´s use the equation of velocity:

v = v0 + g · t

at t = 0.77443 s

v = 18 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.77443 s

v = 10.41 m/s

at t = 2.899 s

v = 18 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 2.899 s

v = - 10.41 m/s

(Both velocities have to be of the same magnitude but of different sign, that´s why I haven´t rounded the time.)

c) There are two answers because the stone reaches the height of 11 m one time on its way up and one more time again on its way down. On its way up, the velocity is 10.41 m/s and on its way down it is -10.41 m/s.

Figures

The functions to plot are the following:

height in function of time (figure 1, x-axis: time. y-axis: height)

y = -4.9t² + 18t

velocity in function of time (figure 2, x-axis: time. y-axis velocity)

v = -9.8t + 18

Acceleration in function of time (figure 3, x-axis: time. y-axis: acceleration)

a = -9.8

What is the MAIN reason water from the oceans turns to water vapor, and then evaporates into the air?
GuDViN [60]

This has a two word answer: sun's heat. The faster moving molecules near the ocean's surface are provided with enough energy from the sun to escape the surface they are near.
