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.

The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate

sveta [45]

Answer:

It would take approximately 289 hours for the population to double

Explanation:

Recall the expression for the continuous exponential growth of a population:

$N(t)=N_0\,e^{kt}$

where N(t) measures the number of individuals, No is the original population, "k" is the percent rate of growth, and "t" is the time elapsed.

In our case, we don't know No (original population, but know that we want it to double in a certain elapsed "t". We also have in mind that the percent rate "k" would be expressed in mathematical form as: 0.0024 (mathematical form of the given percent growth rate).

So we need to solve for "t" in the following equation:

$2\,N_0=N_0\,e^{0.0024\,t}\\\frac{2\,N_0}{N_0} =e^{0.0024\,t}\\2=e^{0.0024\,t}\\ln(2)=0.0024\,t\\t=\frac{ln(2)}{0.0024} \\t=288.811\,\, hours$

Which can be rounded to about 289 hours

Explain the law of inertia in your own words.

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by a force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a force.
