Answer:

B. Newton's third law

Explanation:

When two bodies collide the moment remains constant.

This occurs because we define a system that is formed by the two bodies, so that the forces last = before the shock are forces of action and reaction, from one body to the other, so that for the system (two bodies) the force total is zero, we assume that the system is isolated from the outside.

In summary, the initial establishment is a consequence of Newton's third law

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surf

Sati [7]

Answer:

a) The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b) the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?

t $_{min$ = λ/2n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.20

we substitute

t $_{min$ = 750 / 2(1.20)

t $_{min$ = 750 / 2.4

t $_{min$ = 312.5 ≈ 313 nm

Therefore, The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now?

minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be;

t $_{min$ = λ/4n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.50

we substitute

t $_{min$ = 750 / 4(1.50)

t $_{min$ = 750 / 6

t $_{min$ = 125 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Hooke’s law describes the linear relationship between stress and strain through Young’s modulus. Given two materials under the s

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The material with higher modulus will stretch less than

The material with lower modulus

Explanation:

A material with a higher modulus is stiffer and has better resistance to deformation. The modulus is defined as the force per unit area required to produce a deformation or in other words the ratio of stress to strain.

E= stress/stain

Hooks law states that provided the elastic limit is not exceeded the extension e of a spring is directly proportional to the load or force attached

F=ke

Where k is the constant which gives the measure of the spring under tension

Approximately where is it currently high tide on Earth? Group of answer choices wherever it is currently noon anywhere that ocea

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Option D, only on the portion of the Earth facing directly toward the Moon

Explanation:

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of moon. The part of earth that faces the moon experiences the highest gravitational force and hence the high tides will occur in this regions only. The regions that do not faces the moon experiences low tides. It is the gravity of moon that attracts the ocean water towards itself.

Hence, Option D is correct
