Answer:

18.82 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) = 39.2 m

Height (h) of the cliff =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the car to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) = 39.2 m

Time (t) taken to reach the ground =?

s = ut

39.2 = 20 × t

Divide both side by 20

t = 39.2 / 20

t = 1.96 s

Finally, we shall determine the height of the cliff as follow:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) taken to reach the ground = 1.96 s

Height (h) of the cliff =?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 1.96²

h = 4.9 × 3.8416

h = 18.82 m

Therefore, the cliff is 18.82 m high

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
Darina [25.2K]

Before going to answer this question first we have to understand reflection and laws of reflection.

Reflection is the optical phenomenon in which light will bounce back to the same medium from which it had originated .

Whenever a light ray will incident on a mirror or any reflecting surface, it will be reflected. The ray which falls on the reflecting surface is called incident ray and the ray which is reflected is called reflected ray.

Let us consider a normal to the point of incidence.The angle made by incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as[ i ]

The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as [r]

There are two types of reflection.One is called regular and other one is called as irregular.The laws of reflection is valid for both the types of reflection.

There are two laws of reflection.

FIRST LAW -It states that the incident ray,reflected ray and the normal to the point of incidence,all lie in one plane.

SECOND LAW- It states that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection irrespective of the type of reflection.i.e i =r

Hence the correct answer will be angle of reflection.

Explain how astronomers might use spectroscopy to determine the composition and temperature of a star.
Damm [24]

Everything starts from spectroscopy. Astronomers only have concentrated information at wavelengths that are emitted from the stars. What they do with this information is to obtain the frequency range of the stars and through spectroscopes they are responsible for dividing the radiation beams and determining the coincidence with the emission of those same waves, of chemical elements. From these observation techniques it is possible to obtain the composition and according to the color, obtaining characteristics such as temperature. The spectrum of stars consists of dark and bright lines called Fraunhofer lines. This spectrum is compared to the spectrum of different elements to find the composition of the stars. This is possible because the elements emit or absorb only specific wavelengths.
