Natalija [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.

Explanation: Light waves move fastest through gases but when going through solids, it moves much slower.

How can you predict the action of the element
patriot [66]
Stark contrast to paths on energy surfaces or even mechanistic reactions, rule-based and inductive computational approaches to reaction prediction mostly consider only overall transformations. Overall transformations are general molecular graph rearrangements reflecting only the net change of several successive mechanistic reactions. For example, Figure 1 shows the overall transformation of an alkene interacting with hydrobromic acid to yield the alkyl bromide along with the two elementary reactions which compose the transformation.

An astronaut who is repairing the outside of her spaceship accidentally pushes away a 92.9 cm long steel rod, which flies off at
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

V = 0.0723 volts = 72.3 milivolts

Explanation:

The emf induced in the rod is the motional emf due to the magnetic field. This motional emf can be calculated by the following formula:

EMF = V = vBl Sin\theta

where,

V = Motional EMF = ?

v = speed of rod = 12.5 m/s

B = Magnetic Field = 6.23 mT = 0.00623 T

l = Length of rod = 92.9 cm = 0.929 m

θ = angle between v and B = 90°

Therefore,

V = (12.5\ m/s)(0.00623\ T)(0.929\ m)Sin\ 90^o\\

<u>V = 0.0723 volts = 72.3 milivolts</u>

Which of the following are true (choose all that apply)? Sound can travel through a vacuum. -Sound can travel through water. Lig
Lunna [17]

Answer:

option (A) - false

option (B) - true

option (C) - true

option (D) - true

option (E) - true

option (F) - true

Explanation:

The sound waves are mechanical waves that means they need a medium to travel.

The light waves are non mechanical waves it means they do not need a medium to travel.

Sound cannot travel trough vacuum.

Sound can travel through air and water.

Light can travel trough vacuum and in air and in water.

Most geologists believe that the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago when a large comet or asteroid struck the earth,
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

A) 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁶ m/s

B)5.59 x 10^-^9 %

Explanation:

A)

Given:

d = 5.0 km,

mₐ = 2.5 x 10^1^4 kg

u₁ = 4.0 x 10⁴ m/s

m_n = 5.98 x 10 ²⁴ kg

Solve using kinetic conserved energy

mₐ x u₁ + m_n  x u₂ = uₓ x (mₐ + m_n )

(2.5 x 10^1^4) (4.0 x 10⁴ )+ (5.98 x 10 ²⁴ )(0) = uₓ x (2.5 x 10^1^4 + 5.98 x 10 ²⁴ )

uₓ = ( 2.5 x 10^1^4 x 4.0 x 10⁴ ) / (2.5 x 10^1^4 + 5.98 x 10 ²⁴ )    

uₓ = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁶ m/s

B) Assuming earth radius as a R = 1.5 x 10 ¹¹ m

t = 365 days  x 24 hr / 1 day x 60 minute / 1 hr x 60s / 1 minute = 31536000 s

t = 31536000 s

D = 2 π R = 2 π( 1.5 x 10 ¹¹ )

D = 9.4247 x 10 ¹¹ m

u₂  = D / t  = 9.4247 x 10 ¹¹  / 31536000

u₂ =  29885.775 m/s

% = (  1.67 x 10 ⁻⁶ m/s ) / (29885.775 m/s) x 100

% = 5.59 x 10^-^9 %
