Answer:

All living things have very small amounts of carbon-14 in their bodies. This isotope slowly decomposes to nitrogen atoms. I have not seen any study that shows this to be a “harmful” process.

Answer:

are chemical processes and not nuclear processes. Nuclear reactions do indeed occur in the human body, but the body does not use them. Nuclear reactions can lead to chemical damage, which the body may notice and try to fix.

Three displacements through a hedge maze. (b) The displacement vectors. (c) The first displacement vector and its components. (d

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

18.3 m , 25.4°

Explanation:

d1 = 6 m, θ1 = 40°

d2 = 8 m, θ2 = 30°

d3 = 5 m, θ3 = 0°

Write the displacements in the vector form

$d_{1}=6\left ( Cos40\widehat{i}+Sin40\widehat{j} \right )=4.6\widehat{i}+3.86\widehat{j}$

$d_{2}=8\left ( Cos30\widehat{i}+Sin30\widehat{j} \right )=6.93\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}$

$d_{3}=5\widehat{i}$

The total displacement is given by

$\overrightarrow{d}=\overrightarrow{d_{1}}+\overrightarrow{d_{2}}+\overrightarrow{d_{3}}$

$d=\left ( 4.6+6.93+5 \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 3.86+4 \right )\widehat{j}$

$d=16.53\widehat{i}+7.86\widehat{j}$

magnitude of resultant displacement is given by

$d ={\sqrt{16.53^{2}+7.86^{2}}}=18.3 m$

d = 18.3 m

Let θ be the angle of resultant displacement with + x axis

$tan\theta =\frac{7.86}{16.53}=0.4755$

θ = 25.4°

A ray of light traveling in air is incident on the surface of a block of clear ice (of index 1.309) at an angle of 25.5 ◦ with t

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: $135.29\º$

The figure attached will be helpful to understand the solution.

Here we see two cases, reflection and refraction of light.

According to the laws of reflection:

1. The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal are in the same plane.

2. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

<u>*Note the normal is perpendicular to the plane, with a $90\º$ angle with the surface</u>

And this can be visualized in the figure, where the angle ${\theta}_{1}$ with which the incident ray hits the surface is equal to the angle with which this same ray is reflected.

On the other hand we have Refraction, a phenomenon in which the light bends or changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.

In this context, the Refractive index is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material.

According to Snell’s Law:

$n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})=n_{2}sin(\theta_{2})$ (1)

Where:

$n_{1}=1$ is the first medium refractive index (the air)

$n_{2}=1.309$ is the second medium refractive index (the ice)

$\theta_{1}=25.5\º$ is the angle of the incident ray

$\theta_{2}$ is the angle of the refracted ray

Now, firstly we have to find $\theta_{2}$ and then, by geometry, find $\alpha$ and $\beta$ which sum the <u>angle between the reflected and the refracted light</u>.

Finding $\theta_{2}$ from (1):

$(1)sin(25.5\º)=(1.309)sin(\theta_{2})$

$sin(\theta_{2})=0.328$

$\theta_{2}=arcsin(0.328)$

$\theta_{2}=19.201\º$ (2)

Remembering that the Normal makes a $90\º$ angle with the surface, we can say:

$90\º=\theta_{1}+\beta$ (3)

Finding $\beta$ :

$\beta=90\º-25.5\º=64.5\º$ (4)

Doing the same with $\theta_{2}$ and $\alpha}$ :

$90\º=\theta_{2}+\alpha$ (5)

Finding $\alpha$ :

$\alpha=90\º-19.201\º=70.79\º$ (6)

Adding both angles (4) and (6):

$\alpha+\beta=70.79\º+64.5\º$ (7)

$\alpha+\beta=135.29\º$ >>>This is the angle between the reflected and the refracted light.

Which planet experiences tidal effects that are caused by the Sun?

Vilka [71]

Technically, ALL of the planets do.

The effect is greatest inside Mercury, because Mercury is the one closest to the Sun.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Imagine you have an orange. This is your imaginary Earth. When you look at it in any direction, you won’t be able to see all sides of it. But when you peel the orange, flatten and stretch it out, you can begin to see everything.

Similarly, a map projection is a method by which cartographers translate a sphere or globe into a two-dimensional representation. In other words, a map projection systematically renders a 3D ellipsoid (or spheroid) of Earth to a 2D map surface.
