Answer:D.Refractive Indez

Explanation:

It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".

You're going for "refractive index", but you've got the ratio flipped over.

If you have 10.0 g of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 42 days?
Nat2105 [25]
The formula for the mass that remains:
m=m_0 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{T}
m₀ - the initial mass, t - time, T - the half-life

m_0=10 \ g \\
T=14 \ d \\
t=42 \ d \\ \\
m=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{42}{14}=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^3=10 \times \frac{1}{8}=10 \times 0.125=1.25

The answer is c. 1.25 g.

Describe what happens to chromosomes before mitosis.
Brums [2.3K]

Explanation:

Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied. They then coil up, and each chromosome looks like a letter X in the nucleus of the cell. The chromosomes now consist of two sister chromatids. Mitosis separates these chromatids, so that each new cell has a copy of every chromosome

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.
noname [10]

Question:

The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.

Answer:

The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³

Explanation:

Here, we have mass density of cloud  =  2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density =   If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have

28 kg water = 28000 g

Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Which factor indicates the amount of charge on the source charge?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

B. the number of field lines on the source charge

Explanation:

As we know that electric flux is defined as the number of electric field lines passing through a given area.

So here  electric flux due to a point charge "q" is given by

so here we know that flux depends on the magnitude of charge and hence we can say that number of filed lines originating from a point charge will depends on the magnitude of the charge.
