Answer:

Explanation:

n = 3.00e8/2.22e8 = 1.35

1.00sin24.5 = 1.35sinθ

θ = 17.9°

Answer:

Continental drift theory describes the long term effect of plate tectonics.

Explanation:

The long term result of plate tectonic movement is the continental drift. The continents of Earth lay on tectonic plates, that are in motion and interaction via plate tectonics. The drift of the Earths continent is an ongoing process evident in the rift valleys and seafloor spreading zones.

The theory that the Earth's continents are dynamic and have drifted relative to each other is known as continental drift which correlates with the theory of plate tectonics.

Every year, the Earth's outer shell plates are displaced by a small amount due to the heat coming from the Earths interior via convection currents.

A stone is dropped from the

ICE Princess25 [194]

Height=h=500m
Acceleration=g=10m/s^2
Initial velocity=u=0
Speed of sound=c=340m/s
TIME TAKEN BY STONE TO HIT WATER=t
Time taken by sound to hear back=T

Now

$\\ \sf\longmapsto h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto h=0t+\dfrac{1}{2}10t^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 500=5t^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto t^2=100$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto t=10s$

Now

$\\ \sf\longmapsto h=cT$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto T=\dfrac{h}{c}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto T=\dfrac{500}{340}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto T=1.47\approx 1.5s$

Total time:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto T_{net}=t+T=10+1.5=11.5s$

While finding the spring constant, if X1 = 12 cm, X2 = 15 cm, and hanging mass = 22 grams, the value of spring constant K would

Pavel [41]

Answer:

If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m

Explanation:

Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²

If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m

k= spring constant

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=0.022\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=0.21582\ N$

$\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.012\\\Rightarrow k=1.7985\ N/m\\$

∴k = 1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m

Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

$\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.015\\\Rightarrow k=1.4388\ N/m\\$

∴k = 1.4388 N/m

As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m

A psychopathologist records the number of criminal offenses among teenage drug users in a nationwide sample of 1,201 participant

lara [203]

Answer:

Standard deviation = 3

Explanation:

Given

$N = 1201$

$SS = 10800$

Required

Determine the standard deviation

First, we need to determine the variance;

$Variance = \frac{SS}{N - 1}$

This gives:

$Variance = \frac{10800}{1201 - 1}$

$Variance = \frac{10800}{1200}$

$Variance = 9$

Know that:

$Variance = SD^2$

Where SD represents standard deviation

This gives

$9 = SD^2$

Take square root

$SD = \sqrt 9$

$SD = 3$

In January 2006, astronomers reported the discovery of a planet comparable in size to the earth orbiting another star and having

Orlov [11]

Answer:

R = 5.28 103 km

Explanation:

The definition of density is

ρ = m / V

V = m /ρ

Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body

The volume of a sphere is

V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

4/3 π r³ = m / ρ

R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π

The mass of the planet is

M = 5.5 Me

R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π

Let's reduce the density to SI units

ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³

ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³

Let's calculate

R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)

R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹

R = 0.528 10⁷ m

R = 0.528 104 km

R = 5.28 103 km
