Answer:

Explanation:

Fusion and fission are similar in that they both release large amounts of energy. Nuclear fusion is a process in which two nuclei join to form a larger nucleus. Nuclear fission is a process in which a nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei.

Explanation:

The height to which a ball will bounce depends on the height from which it is dropped, what the ball is made out of (and if it is inflated, what the pressure is), and what the surface it bounces from is made out of. The radius of the ball doesn't really matter, if you are measuring the height of the ball from the bottom of the ball to the ground.

A ball's gravitational potential energy is proportional to its height. At the bottom, just before the bounce, this energy is now all in the form of kinetic energy. After the bounce, the ball and the ground or floor have absorbed some of that energy and have become warmer and have made a noise. This energy lost in the bounce is a more or less constant fraction of the energy of the ball before the bounce. As the ball goes back up, kinetic energy (now a bit less) gets traded back for gravitational potential energy, and it will rise back to a height that is the original height times (1-fraction of energy lost). We'll call this number f. For a superball, f may be around 90% (0.9) or perhaps even bigger. For a steel ball on a thick steel plate, f is >0.95. For a properly inflated basketball, f is about 0.75. For a squash ball, f might be less than 0.5 or 0.25 - squash balls are not very bouncy. The steel ball on an unvarnished pine wood floor may not bounce at all, but rather make a dent, and so what the floor is made out of makes quite a lot of difference.

A laser beam enters a 12.0 cm thick glass window at an angle of 33.0° from the normal. The index of refraction of the glass is 1

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The time is 0.563 ns.

Explanation:

Given that,

Index of refraction of glass = 1.41

Distance = 12.0 cm

Angle = 33.0°

We need to calculate the refraction angle

Using Snell's law

$n_{1}\sin\theta=n_{r}\sin\theta$

put the value into the formula

$1\times\sin33=1.41\sin\theta$

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{1\times\sin33}{1.41}$

$\theta=22.71^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the velocity of beam in glass

Using formula of velocity

$v=\dfrac{c}{n}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.41}$

$v=2.13\times10^{8}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of distance

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$t=\dfrac{12.0\times10^{-2}}{2.13\times10^{8}}$

$t=5.63\times10^{-10}\ sec$

$t=0.563\times10^{-9}\ sec$

$t=0.563\ ns$

Hence, The time is 0.563 ns.

A supply plane needs to drop a package of food to scientists working on a glacier in Greenland. The plane flies 90.0 m above the

romanna [79]

Answer:

d = 771.3m

Explanation:

Let's first calculate the time of flight:

$Yf = Yo+Voy*t-g*t^2/2$ where Voy=0. Solving for t:

$t = \sqrt{2*90/9.8} =4.285s$

Now we calculate the horizontal displacement, wihch is the distance from the target to drop the package:

Xf = d = Vox*t

d = 180*4.285 = 771.3m

B. On a separate sheet of paper, describe the different ways of generating electric power.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

These all different sources of energy add to the store of electrical power that is then sent out to different locations via high powered lines. It is the energy from the sun that is harnessed using a range of technologies such as solar heating, solar architecture, photovoltaics, and artificial photosynthesis.
