What is the focal length of the mirror? follow the sign conventions?

Physics
1 answer:
Ipatiy [6.2K]4 years ago
4 0
Well, the focal length is a distance to the point in which all of the rays of a parallel beam cross. Since a parallel beam reflected by the mirror is still parallel and does not converge, no matter how far from the mirror it travels, the focal distance of a mirror is

f = -∞

minus sign denotes that the image in the mirror is imaginary

Sally turns on her cellular telephone to speak to her friend who is located thousands of miles away. Which of the following best
Marizza181 [45]

As we know that in cellular phone all the signals are transmitted by antenna in the form of electromagnetic waves

All these electromagnetic waves are transmitted through the phones and then received as a signal to the receiver of another phone

These signals are then processed and converted into sound which is produced by the phone

So here correct answer will be

<em>C. The cellular telephone transmits information by electromagnetic waves to a receiver which then encodes them and produces sound.</em>

The weight of a 72.0 kg astronaut on the Moon, where g = 1.63 m/s2 is (5 points) Select one: a. 112 N b. 117 N c. 135 N d. 156 N
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: The weight of a 72.0 kg astronaut on the Moon is 117.36 N.

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut on the moon , m= 72 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on moon,g  = 1.63 m/s^2

According to Newton second law of motion: F = ma

This will changes to = Weight = mass × g

Weight=72 kg\times 1.63m/s^2=117.36 N

The weight of a 72.0 kg astronaut on the Moon is 117.36 N.

The specific heat of a solid Y is 11.5 cal/g°C. A sample of this
fgiga [73]

The sample of the solid in grams is 5.5g

HOW TO CALCULATE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY:

  • The quantity of heat absorbed or released by a substance can be calculated using the following formula:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = quantity of heat absorbed/released (cal)

m = mass of the substance (g)

c = specific heat (cal/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

  • According to the information provided in this question:

Q = 7.90Kcal = 7900cal

m = ?

c = 11.5 cal/g°C

T1 = 135K = 135K − 273.15 = -138.1°C

T2 = 260K = 260K − 273.15 = -13.15°C

∆T = -13.15 - (-138.1) = 124.95°C

  • Hence, the mass of the substance can be calculated as follows:

m = Q ÷ c∆T

m = 7900 ÷ (11.5 × 124.95)

m = 7900 ÷ 1436.93

m = 5.5grams.

Therefore, the sample of the solid in grams is 5.5g.

In Ptolemy's Earth-centered model for the solar system, Venus's phase is never full as viewed from Earth because it always lies
tiny-mole [99]
<h2>Answer: in full phase</h2>

Explanation:

Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that <u>Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth.  </u>

This is because Venus presented <u>its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one</u>, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.  

In other words: When Venus is in its full phase it is not possible to observe it from the Earth because always in this phase, Venus, the Sun and the Earth are in conjunction (or aligned).  This means <u>the Sun is between Venus and Earth</u>, in the orbit that both planets describe around this star.

Therefore, from the Earth, the Sun covers Venus.

This fact along with other discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.
