Answer:

D. The bicycle has no motion.

Explanation:

The graph represents the position of the bike versus time.

From the graph, we see that the position of the bike is constant, at 3 metres from the reference point, for the whole time: this means that the bike is not moving, so the correct option is

D. The bicycle has no motion.

From a position vs time graph, it is also possible to infer the velocity of the object, which is equal to the slope of the graph: in this case, the line is horizontal, so the slope is zero, which means that the bike's velocity is also zero.

Define alpha and beta

elena55 [62]

alpha is the excess return on an investment after adjusting for market related volatility and random fluctuations.

beta is a measure of volatility relative to a benchmark ,such as the S&P 500.

Explanation:

alpha and beta are two different parts of an equation used to explain the performance of stocks and investments funds. But in maths alpha and beta is the Greek alphabet

How many amps are there in the current of a circuit if the voltage source is 140v and the resistance is 2 ohms?

VLD [36.1K]

Voltage (V)= Current (I) * Resistance (R)
I=V/R=140/2=70A

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.50, at an angle of incidence of 45°. Calc

balandron [24]

Answer:

Approximately $28^{\circ}$ .

Explanation:

The refractive index of the air $n_{\text{air}}$ is approximately $1.00$ .

Let $n_\text{glass}$ denote the refractive index of the glass block, and let $\theta _{\text{glass}}$ denote the angle of refraction in the glass. Let $\theta_\text{air}$ denote the angle at which the light enters the glass block from the air.

By Snell's Law:

$n_{\text{glass}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) = n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})$ .

Rearrange the Snell's Law equation to obtain:

$\begin{aligned} \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) &= \frac{n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}{n_{\text{glass}}} \\ &= \frac{(1.00)\, (\sin(45^{\circ}))}{1.50} \\ &\approx 0.471\end{aligned}$ .
