What two gases probably dominated precambrian earth's atmosphere?

Physics

I think these gases are water vapor and nitrogen. As the temperature rises, these water vapor molecules, would condense and form the oceans we have. Also, it was said that in the early atmosphere, nitrogen is very abundant and even today the composition of air is 79% by volume.

A scuba diver is sitting on a boat while waiting to go on a dive and sees light reflected from the water's surface. At what angl
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

θ_p = 53.0º

Explanation:

For reflection polarization occurs when a beam is reflected at the interface between two means, the polarization in total when the angle between the reflected and the transmitted beam is 90º

Let's write the transmission equation

     n1 sin θ₁ = ne sin θ₂

The angle to normal (vertcal) is

    180 = θ2 + 90 + θ_p

    θ₂ = 90 - θ_p

Where θ₂ is the angle of the transmitted ray θ_p is the angle of the reflected polarized ray

We replace

     n1 sin θ_p = n2 sin (90 - θ_p)

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

    Sin (90- θ_p) = sin 90 cos θ_p - cos 90 sin θ_p = cos θ_p

In the law of reflection  incident angle equals reflected angle,  

    ni sin θ_p = ns cos θ_p

    n₂ / n₁ = sin θ_p / cos θ_p

    n₂ / n₁ = tan θ_p

    θ_p = tan⁻¹ (n₂ / n₁)

Now we can calculate it

The refractive index of air is 1 (n1 = 1) the refractive index of seawater varies between 1.33 and 1.40 depending on the amount of salts dissolved in the water

n₂ = 1.33

      θ_p = tan⁻¹ (1.33 / 1)

      θ_p = 53.0º

n₂ = 1.40

      θ_p = tan⁻¹ (1.40 / 1)

      Tep = 54.5º

A proton and an electron are placed in an electric field. Which undergoes the greater acceleration?
iren2701 [21]

Newton's 2nd law:

Fnet = ma

Fnet is the net force acting on an object, m is the object's mass, and a is the acceleration.

The electric force on a charged object is given by

Fe = Eq

Fe is the electric force, E is the electric field at the point where the object is, and q is the object's charge.

We can assume, if the only force acting on the proton and electron is the electric force due to the electric field, that for both particles, Fnet = Fe

Fe = Eq

Eq = ma

a = Eq/m

We will also assume that the electric field acting on the proton and electron are the same. The proton and electron also have the same magnitude of charge (1.6×10⁻¹⁹C). What makes the difference in their acceleration is their masses. A quick Google search will provide the following values:

mass of proton = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg

mass of electron = 9.11×10⁻³¹kg

The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, so the electron will experience a greater acceleration than the proton.
