Nora tied a string around a tennis ball, and then she swung it in a circle in front of her to demonstrate a planet orbiting the

Sun. She explained that her hand represented the Sun, the ball represented a planet, and the string kept the ball from leaving the "orbit" around her hand. Why doesn't the string work in the same way as gravity? A. The string holding the ball in orbit is a contact force; gravity is a noncontact force. B. The string only pulls one way; gravity pulls both ways. C. The string keeps the distance between the bodies the same; gravity makes the distance vary. D. There is no difference between the two systems.

<em>Choice-A </em>is a true statement. The string holding the ball in orbit is a contact force, whereas gravity is a non-contact force.

Choice-C is half-true.  The string keeps the distance between the bodies constant, but gravity doesn't "MAKE" the distance vary.

Pani-rosa [81]
Hello!

Yes, someone with an IQ score of 120 can be gifted. 

An IQ score of 120 means that the individual is moderately gifted. Although this IQ doesn't qualify for gifted education programs, research shows that people with IQs of about 145-180 don't perform significantly better than people with 120s IQ in terms of success.

As an example, professor Dean Simonton from the University of California found that an optimum leader should have an IQ in the 120-125 range, so having an IQ of 120 would mean that the individual is gifted for leadership.

Have a nice day!

The index of refraction for silicate flint glass is 1.66 for violet light that has a wavelength in air equal to 400 nm and 1.61
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) Angle of incidence for violet is more than the angle of incidence for red

(b) 2.4°

Explanation:

refractive index for violet , v = 1.66

refractive index for red, nR = 1.61

wavelength for violet, λv = 400 nm

wavelength for red, λR = 700 nm

Angle of refraction, r = 30°

(a) Let iv be the angle of incidence for violet.

Use Snell,s law

nv = Sin iv / Sin r

1.66 = Sin iv / Sin 30

Sin iv = 0.83

iv = 56°

Use Snell's law for red

nR  = Sin iR / Sin r  

where, iR be the angle of incidence for red

1.61 = Sin iR / Sin 30

Sin iR = 0.805

iR = 53.6°

So, the angle of incidence for violet is more than red.

(b) iv - iR = 56° - 53.6° = 2.4°

A truck traveling at a constant speed of 40.0 km/h applies its brakes and comes to a complete stop in 5.0 s.
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Part a)

v = 11.11 m/s

Part c)

a = -2.22 m/s^2

This mean the truck is decelerating and its speed is decreasing

Part e)

t = 13.89 s

Part f)

d = 77.14 m

Explanation:

Part a)

Speed of the truck is given as

v = 40 km/h

as we know that

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

so we will have

v =40 \times \frac{1000}{3600} m/s

v = 11.11 m/s

Part c)

Average acceleration is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

now we have

a = \frac{0 - 11.11}{5}

a = -2.22 m/s^2

Part e)

as we know that it is uniform acceleration

so we can say

v_f - v_i = at

11.11 - 0 = 0.80 t

t = 13.89 s

Part f)

distance traveled by the truck is given as

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

d = \frac{1}{2}(0.80)(13.89^2)

d = 77.14 m
