Answer:

equal to 1

Explanation:

When any ray of light falls or strikes on a surface, the ray is reflected back and the angle of reflection is equal to angle of the incidence, where both the angles are always measured from the path of light that is normal to surface of the point at which the ray of light strikes the surface. This is called as the laws of reflection of light.

And therefore, the ratio of the angle of incidence to the angle of reflection is always equal to 1.

You're driving your new sports car at 85 mph over the top of a hill that has a radius of curvature of 525 m.
Bumek [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the sports car, v = 85 mph = 37.99 m/s

The radius of curvature, r = 525 m

Let W_N is the normal weight and W_A is the apparent weight of the person. Its apparent weight is given by :

W_A=mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

So, \dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}}{mg}

\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{g-\dfrac{v^2}{r}}{g}

\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{9.8-\dfrac{(37.99)^2}{525}}{9.8}

\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=0.719

or

\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=71.9\%

Hence, this is the required solution.

AnswerAmontons's law. If the temperature is increased, the average speed and kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase. ... If the gas volume is decreased, the container wall area decreases and the molecule-wall collision frequency increases, both of which increase the pressure exerted by the gas (Figure 1).:

What would you say to a friend who made this statement, “The visible-light spectrum of the Sun shows weak hydrogen lines and str
Oliga [24]

Explanation:

spectral lines or signatures of elements depend on temperature, the temperature of the sun is about 5800 K.

at this temperature most calcium atoms are excited to higher energy states than hydrogen atoms and this means that calcium atoms are gonna have more signatures than the atoms of hydrogen.

the statement that the sun shows weak hyrogen lines and strong calcium line is wrong because at the sun's temperature most of the hydrogen atoms are in lower energy states while calcium atoms are in higher energy states hence calcium has more or ''strong'' lines than hydrogen.
