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.

Virty [35]
<span>The three major types of symbiosis are mutualism, where both species benefit, commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one species benefits and the other is harmed. Symbiotic relationships can occur within an organism's body or outside of it.                                                                                                                                                                              </span><span>Examples of mutualism include the relationship between single-celled organisms or animals that incorporate algae into their bodies. They give the algae necessary nutrients, and in return receive chemical energy from the photosynthetic algae. Animals that have this sort of relationship include some sponges, sea anemones and clams. Examples of commensalism include remora fish attaching to the bodies of sharks and eating scraps of food that escape their jaws, and barnacles living on the jaws of whales with a similar feeding strategy. Plants have commensal relationships as well, such as many orchids that grow on taller plants and benefit from the additional sunlight they obtain, without actually stealing nutrients from the host plant. Parasitic relationships are many, and parasites include all disease-causing organisms. This category also includes insects such as fleas that suck the blood of hosts externally. Parasitism is a very efficient strategy for organisms, and parasites often lose many of the features of non-parasitic life forms, instead relying on their hosts for many of the functions of life.</span>

the base of a rectangular vessel measure 10m by 18cm. water is poured into a depth of 4cm. (a) what is the pressure on the base?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a) P =392.4[Pa]; b) F = 706.32[N]

Explanation:

With the input data of the problem we can calculate the area of the tank base

L = length = 10[m]

W = width = 18[cm] = 0.18[m]

A = W * L = 0.18*10

A = 1.8[m^2]

a)

Pressure can be calculated by knowing the density of the water and the height of the water column within the tank which is equal to h:

P = density * g *h

where:

density = 1000[kg/m^3]

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

h = heigth = 4[cm] = 0.04[m]

P = 1000*9.81*0.04

P = 392.4[Pa]

The force can be easily calculated knowing the relationship between pressure and force:

P = F/A

F = P*A

F = 392.4*1.8

F = 706.32[N]

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The first graph is showing the constant acceleration (1 m/s)

Explanation:

The second graph showing the flexible velocity therefore a in the graph is different at t1, t2, t3, t4

The last graph is showing constant velocity therefore there is no acceleration (a = 0)

The sun rotates once in 25.05 days. That is 601.2 hours. so the sun's rotational speed is 0.0017 rotations per hour. what is the
Margaret [11]

Answer:

v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • time taken by the sun to complete one revolution, t=601.2\ hr
  • radial distance of the sunspot, r=6.955\times 10^8\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Therefore, angular speed of rotation of sun:</u>

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600} \ rad.s^{-1}

<u>Now the tangential velocity of the sunspot can be given by:</u>

v=r.\omega

v=6.955\times 10^8\times \frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600}

v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}
