Answer:

Kepler's laws apply: First Law: Planetary orbits are elliptical with the sun at a focus. Second Law: The radius vector from the sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times. Third Law: The ratio of the square of the period of revolution and the cube of the ellipse semimajor axis is the same for all planets.

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.02%

Explanation:

Using Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality constant, I is intensity of incident light and t is thickness of the medium

then dI / I = kdt

taking log,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

t=0=>I=I(0)=>C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

t=3 & I=0.25I(0)=>0.25=e^3k

k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.2%

What evidence can you cite to support the claim that the frequency of light does not change upon reflection?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: The color of an image is equal to the color of the item forming the picture. When you have a take a observe your self in a mirror, the color of your eyes would not alternate. The reality that the color is equal is proof that the frequency of light would not alternate upon reflection.

What is the spring coefficient of a spring that stores 4000 joules of energy

Verizon [17]

Answer:

222.2N/m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Elastic potential energy = 4000J

Extension = 6m

Unknown:

Spring coefficient = ?

Solution:

The elastic potential energy is the energy stored within a string.

It is expressed as;

EPE = $\frac{1}{2}$ k e²

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

4000 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x k x 6²

8000 = 36k

k = 222.2N/m

Which of the following lists Earth's compositional layers in order of increasing density?

WITCHER [35]

The lists that arranges the Earth's compositional layers in order of increasing density is CRUST, MANTLE AND THEN CORE. The core is considered as the most dense and the lithosphere, which makes the outermost core, is considered as having the least density. Hope that this answer helps.

A girl moves quickly to the center of a spinning merry-go-round, traveling along the radius of the merry-go-round. Which of the

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The angular speed of the system increases.

The moment of inertia of the system decreases.

Explanation:

As we know that the girl is going towards the center of the circle so here the moment of inertia of the girl is given as

$I = mr^2$

here we know that

r = position of the girl from the center of the disc

now we know that the girl is moving towards the center so its distance will continuously decreasing

So the moment of inertia of the girl will decrease

Now we know that that with respect to the center of the disc there is no torque on the disc + girl system

So here we can use angular momentum conservation

So we have

$I\omega = constant$

since moment of inertia is decreasing for the system

so angular speed will increase
