Answer:

The degree of reflection whether faint or bright you see on the surface of an object is an indication that light particles had hit the surface. Since light is a wave and as part of its characteristics can get reflected. However, the amount of light reflected by a surface is dependent on the smoothness of the surface which can be shiny or dull, it can also be dependent on the nature of the surface which can be glass, water, and so on. So, from the question, you can see a faint reflection on the surface of a shiny plate or cup because of the smoothness of the surface which reflects the lights that hit it from a particular direction at the same angle.

Select all of the answers that apply. Jenna dives 20meters into the ocean. How much pressure does she feel?

Triss [41]

Use the formula dgh + p atm

d is density g is gravitational field strength h heigh or depth and p atm is atmospheric pressure

1000 x 10 x 20 + 100000 = 300000

almost 300,000 pascal

Buffalo, New York, and Raleigh, NC, lie approximately on the same meridian. Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9° N, and Raleigh has a

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Distance will be $=3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles$

Explanation:

We have given that Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9°N

And Raleigh has a latitude of 35.8°N

Radius of the earth = 3960 miles

We have to calculate the distance between given two cities

Difference in their latitudes = $42.9-35.8=7.1^{\circ}$

Now changing the angle in radian = $7.1\times\frac{\pi }{180}=0.12385radian$

So distance will be $=3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles$

How are density and pressure related related to each other?

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The pressure is the measure of force acting on a unit area. Density is the measure of how closely any given entity is packed, or it is the ratio of the mass of the entity to its volume. The relation between pressure and density is direct. Change in pressure will be reflected in a change in density

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second

ki77a [65]

To answer that question, we don't care what the highest and lowest
levels of the wave are, or how far apart they are. We only need to be
able to identify the highest point on the wave, and keep track of how
often those pass by us.

You said it takes 4 seconds for a complete wave to pass by.
Through the sheer power of intellect, I'm able to take that information
and calculate that 1/4 of the wave passes by in 1 second.

There's your frequency . . . 1/4 per second, or 0.25 Hz.
