Answer:

2.1km

Explanation:

Ill take it as u are talking about the displacement

Since displacement has negatives and positves

5.9 - 3.8 = 2.1km

The gnaphosid spider Drassodes cupreus has evolved a pair of lensless eyes for detecting polarized light. Each eye is sensitive

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Part A

The intensity is $I = 618 W/m^2$

Part B

The intensity is $I_1= 81.884 W/m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The intensity of the light detected by first eye is $I = 700 W/m^2$

Now at initial state according the question the light ray is perpendicular to the eye so it means that it is at 90° the eye

Now the first question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first in this case is the one focused on the light )would detect when the head is rotated by 20° its previous orientation

This is mathematically evaluated as

$I = I_i cos^2 ( 20^o)$

$I = 700\ cos^2 (20)$

$I = 618 W/m^2$

Now the second question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first eye in this case is the one that is not focused on the light )would detect when the head is rotated by 20° its previous orientation

Now in this case the angle between the eye and the light is 90-20 = 70°

$I_1 = 700 \ cos^2 (70)$

$I_1= 81.884 W/m^2$

An object is dropped from a vertical distance of 25.5 m above the ground, and it takes 2.28 sec to fall that distance. A second

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The second object takes 2.28 s to fall the 25.5 m.

Explanation:

In this case, both objects take the same time to fall, since no vertical velocity is added to any of them.

You can also confirm this by sepparating the second's object movement into its two directions: in the horizontal one, we have linear uniform motion, and in the vertical one, we have free fall, with exactly the same characteristics as for the first object.

What do ocean waves and sound waves have in common?

Maksim231197 [3]

D. Both exhibit the same particle-to-particle interaction.Because disturbance is propagated with the help of particles. Other than this,[ light waves are electromagnetic waves. ocean waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. they are able to transfer energy. electromagnetic wave and ocean waves are transverse waves while sound waves are the longitudinal wave. they show wave properties: reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and plane-polarization. longitudinal waves such as sound waves cannot be plane-polarized]. The one in the box shows different examples of waves with their examples. Hope it helps.
