Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.
It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.
Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.
A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
When both particles, the electron and the proton move at the same speed, they may have differences with their de Broglie wavelength, the particle that would have a longer wavelength would be the proton since the wavelength is in direct proportionality with the mass of the particle.
The color of light that a star emits is somewhat related to its age, whereas the color of light that we actually <em>observe</em> from a star is related to the speed at which it's moving with respect to us.
Answer:
U = 56877.4 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body is that which it possesses because it is located at a certain height above the surface of the earth and can be calculated using the following formula:
U = mgh Formula (1)
Where:
U is the potential energy in Joules (J)
m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)
g is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
h is the height at which the body is found from the surface of the earth in meters (m)
Data
m= 81.4 kg
g= 9.8 m/s²
h = 71.3 m
Potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower
We replace data in the formula (1)
U = m*g*h
U = (81.4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(71.3 m)
U = 56877.4 N*m
U = 56877.4 J
Refraction is said to occur when there is a change in the speed of light.
<h3>What is the angle of refraction?</h3>
We know that refraction is said to occur when there is a change in the speed of light as it travels form one medium to another.
Given that the refractive index of the rectangular glass block is 1.5. The angle of refraction can be obtained by the use of the Snell's law;
n = sin i /sinr
n = refractive index
sini = angle of incidence
sin r = angle of refraction
sinr = sini/n
sinr = sin 45/1.5
= 0.471
r = 28 degrees
b) Now;
sinr =sin 45/1.2
sinr = 0.589
r = 36 degrees
For the glass
sinr = sin 36/1.5
sin r = 0.392
r = 23 degrees
