consider the motion in upward direction as positive and down direction as negative

Y₀ = initial position of the stone = 20 m

v₀ = initial velocity of the stone = 10 m/s

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

Y = final position of the stone when it reach the maximum height

v = final velocity at the maximum height = 0 m/s

t = time taken to reach the maximum height

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a (Y - Y₀)

0² = 10² + 2 (- 9.8) (Y - 20)

Y = 25.1 m

also using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = 10 + (- 9.8) t

t = 1.02 sec

consider the motion in upward direction as positive and down direction as negative

Y₀ = initial position of the stone = 20 m

v₀ = initial velocity of the stone = 10 m/s

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

Y = final position of the stone when it reach the ground = 0 m

t = time taken to reach the ground

Using the equation

Y = Y₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

0 = 20 + 10 t + (0.5) (- 9.8) t²

t = 3.3 sec

"Water is absorbed in the intestine through which process"? a. simple diffusion b. active transport c. active diffusion d. facil

sdas [7]

Answer: Water is absorbed in the intestine through gradient transport. The correct option is E.

Explanation:

Absorption of water in the mammalian intestines occurs largely on the small intestine through a transport mechanism known as osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules, through a semi permeable membrane, from the region of lower solute concentration into higher solute concentration to attain an equilibrium.

For water molecules to be absorbed from the lumen into the bloodstream, it's dependent on sodium absorption. This follows the following steps:

-sodium is absorbed by co transport with glucose and amino acids.this aids to move sodium from lumen into the enterocyte.

- Rapid exportation of absorbed sodium through sodium pimps from the enterocyte.

- As sodium is pumped out of cells an osmotic gradient is formed across apical cell membrane, this helps to osmotically drive water across the epithelium. Therefore water is absorbed in the intestine through the osmotic gradient created by sodium absorption. I hope this helps. Thanks.

In what fundamental way did the work of Galileo differ from his predecessors who had thought about the sky?

kompoz [17]

Answer: The correct answer is:

Galileo used instruments and experiments to show him what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic

Explanation:

Galileo can be considered as one of the precursors of experimentation and the scientific method. A method that doesn't rely on "common sense" and rationalization and logic, but instead is fuelled by a disposition of skepticism and rather makes claims about reality based on experimentation and empirical data shows.

Galileo differed from his predecessors because he actually used and developed instruments and method to reliable measure and observe what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic.

Show that a light ray that strikes two mutually perpendicular reflecting surfaces is reflected back exactly parallel to the dire

Take a look at the attachment below. As you can see, the figure demonstrates a 90 degree angle such that the surfaces are perpendicular, and hence are independent of the angle of incidence. You could say that this forms a part of a parallelogram -
