Answer:
A. Materials with a low index of refraction cause light to refract very little.
In this question, you're determining the time (t) taken for an object to fall from a distance (d).
The equation to represent this is:
Time equals the square root of 2 times the distance divided by the gravitational force of earth.
In equation from it looks like this (there isn't an icon to represent square root so just pretend like there's a square root there):
t = 2d/g (square-rooted)
d = 8,848m and g = 9.8m/s
Now plug in the information we have:
t = 2 x 8,848m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)
The first step is to multiply 2 times 8,848m:
t = 17,696m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)
Now divide 9.8m/s by 17,696m (note that the two m's (meters) cancels out leaving you with only s (seconds):
t = 1805.72s (square-rooted)
Now for the last step, find the square root of the remaining number:
t = 42.5s
So the time it takes the ball to drop from the height (distance) of 8,848 meters, and falling with the gravitational pull of 9.8 meters per second is 42.5 seconds.
I hope this helps :)
This is a great problem if you like getting tied up in knots
and making smoke come out of your brain.
I found that it makes the problem a lot easier if I give the objects some
numbers. I'm going to say that the mass of Object 5 is 20 clods.
Let the mass of Mass of Object 5 be 20 clods .
Then . . .
-- The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5 = 40 clods.
-- The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 = 10 clods.
and
-- the mass of Object 3 is half of the mass of Object 4 = 5 clods.
So now, here are the masses:
Object #1 . . . . . unknown
Object #2 . . . . . 40 clods
Object #3 . . . . . 5 clods
Object #4 . . . . . 10 clods
Object #5 . . . . . 20 clods .
Now let's check out the statements, and see how they stack up:
Choice-A:
Object 3 and Object 5 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #3 and #5 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.
Choice-B.
Object 2 and Object 4 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #2 and #4 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.
Choice-C.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 2 is greater than
the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 4.
Yes ! Yay !
Object-2 has more mass than Object-4 has, so it must exert more force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).
Choice-D.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 3 is greater than the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 5.
Can't be.
Object-3 has less mass than Object-5 has, so it must exert less force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).
Conclusion:
If the DISTANCE is the same for all the tests, then Choice-C is
the only one that can be true.
Answer:
c. Light energy to thermal energy
Explanation:
The energy from the sun comes in the form of light energy but is converted to thermal energy.
Answer:
It will take Andy 1.198minutes to mow the lawn and it will take Brian 1,209.98minutes to mow the same lawn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the simultaneous equation concept, let A denote Andy and B be Brian
Andy and Brian can mow the lawn for 1212minutes i.e A+B = 1212..eqn 1
If Brian would mow the lawn by himself in 1010 minutes more than it would take Andy, this means B=1010A...eqn 2.
Substituting eqn 2 into eqn 1
Equation 1 becomes
A+1010A=1212
1011A=1212
A=1212/1011
A=1.198
B = 1010×1.198
B=1,209.98
Therefore, It will take Andy 1.198minutes to mow the lawn and it will take Brian 1,209.98minutes to mow the same lawn.
