They are called meteors... i just took the test

Explanation:

When a meteoroid enters the earth's atmosphere at high speed, a streak of light called meteor is observed. This light effect is produced by the ionization of air molecules in the upper atmosphere (at altitudes from 76 to 100 km). Most of these are the size of a grain of sand.

A 139 kg physics professor has fallen into the Grand Canyon. Luckily, he managed to grab a branch and is now hanging 89 m below
Illusion [34]

In order to lift the fat (306 lb) physics professor 89 meters up to
the rim, he'll need more potential energy, equal to

      (mass) x (gravity) x (height) = (139 x 9.8 x 89) = 121,236 joules .

If the faithful horse delivers 1 constant horsepower = 746 watts,
AND if the cute-as-a-button student has instantly figured out a
way to keep the rope sliding around the edge without any friction,
then the soonest Prof. Tubby can arrive at the rim is

    (121,236 joules) / (746 joules/sec) = 162.5 seconds . 

Nowhere in this tense drama has the student needed her linguistics
skill yet, but I'll bet it comes in handy as she attempts gamely to
comprehend all of the various pleadings, prayers, and expletives
uttered by her heavy hero from the time he falls over the rim until
he's again lifted to it.

The speed of light in water is 2.25 x 108 m/s. What is true about the index of refraction of water? A. It is less than 1. B. It
guajiro [1.7K]
Good afternoon!


We can see that \mathsf{2.25\times10^8\ \textless \ 3\times10^8 = c}

The index of refraction can be calculated as:

\mathsf{n = \dfrac{c}{v}}

As we noted, \mathsf{v \ \textless \  c} , and therefore:

\mathsf{\dfrac{v}{v} \ \textless \  \dfrac{c}{v}}\\ \\ \\ \mathsf{\dfrac{c}{v} \ \textgreater \  1}

Beccause n = c/v, we have:

n > 1

B - Is more than 1.

How does Newton's three laws of motion apply to the egg drop project
BabaBlast [244]
<span> Newtons First Law is applied on my egg experiment because it will not move or change it's acceleration until a force acts upon it. Newton's Second Law is applied because of the acceleration caused by natural forces as the egg is plummeting to the earth. And the amount of acceleration the egg has will be largely affected by the amount of force used to hurl the egg to the ground. The Third Law of Motion affects the egg because the amount of force the egg hits the ground with, the ground pushes back with equal and opposite force.</span>
