Out of that list, the concave mirror is the only item that can concentrate sunlight and heat into a small area. But if you could get ahold of a convex lens, that would be even better.

Answer: Concave mirror would be best to use.

Explanation :

To focus sunlight to ignite a pile of twigs for a campfire, a concave mirror should be used.

When the rays of light coming from infinity parallel to principal axis in front of a concave mirror, all the rays get concentrated at the focus of the mirror. That's why the concave mirror is also known as converging.

In this case, a concave mirror should be used so as to converge all the rays at a point.

So, the correct option is (b).

At a certain elevation, the ________ , the air becomes saturated and water-vapor molecules ________.
andriy [413]

At certain altitude, the temperature of air decrease, The air becomes saturated and water vapour molecules starts condensing.


As the altitude of air increase, the atmospheric pressure decrease due to which the temperature of the air decrease. The water molecules in the atmosphere start condensing, which saturate the air (that is air can no hold water molecules), due to which the water vapour molecules starts condensing and falls on the earth in the form of rain.

The relationship between mass and inertia is described by newton's second law of motion. true or false
Mariana [72]
False. Inertia and mass is not described in Newton’s second law of motion but in Newton’s first law of motion. Newton’s first law of motion or sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. In Newton’s first law indicates that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

A boat travels at 30 mph for a huge, solid cliff that is about 3,000 meters away. When the horn on the boat makes a toot, you ca
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased

Explanation:

Given

speed of boat =30\ mph

cliff is 3000\ m away

when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat

But as soon as boat starts moving  the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases

and we know time \propto \frac{1}{frequency}

therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.
