What is peer review?...

It's the system of real scientists telling each other what they're working on
and what they're discovering.

When one scientist or team of scientific researchers finds something,
they write a report to let everybody in the world know about it.  But even
before it gets published, they pass it around to their 'peers' ... other
scientists who know a lot about the same subject and may be working
on the same thing. 

The main job of the peers is to try to find mistakes ... either in how the
experiment was done, or in how the report is written.  When the peers
have all done everything they can to pull it apart, maybe the report gets
re-written before it's published, or maybe it never gets published at all,
because the peers found that the experiment didn't really come out the
way the original researchers thought it did. 

This is why I get so burned up when I see a comment on a YouTube
video where the commenter says that a scientist's work is defective.
He's trying to say that the scientist who did all the work, AND all of
his peers who reviewed the report before it ever went out, are all wrong.
This is a group of people who, all together, know everything there is to
know about the subject, and this internet troll, who just watched a 5-minute
video and hasn't even read the full report on the work, and would never
understand it if he did, he comes and says they're all wrong.
That really grinds my gears.

Which statement is the best interpretation of the ray diagram shown below?
madreJ [45]

A) A concave mirror forming a larger, virtual image

Explanation:

The figure is missing; see attachment.

There are two types of mirror:

  • Concave (converging) mirrors: a concave mirror is a mirror that reflects the light inward
  • Convex (diverging) mirrors: a convex mirror is a mirror that reflects the light outward

The image formed by a mirror can also be of two types:

  • Real image: it is formed on the same side of the object, with respect to the mirror
  • Virtual image: it is formed on the opposite side of the object, with respect to the mirror

In the figure of this problem (see attachment), we see that:

- The mirror reflects the light from the object inward --> so it is a concave mirror

- The image is formed on the other side of the mirror --> it is a virtual image

So the correct option is

A) A concave mirror forming a larger, virtual image

A ball rolls down a hill and hits a box. The momentum of the ball decreases. Which happens to the momentum? Select one of the op
Irina-Kira [14]
<span>So we want to know what happens to the momentum of the ball that rolls down hill and hits a box. So we need to use the law of conservation of momentum which states that the momentum must be conserved. It cant be transformed into inertia or mass. It can only be transferred to other object via some interactions like collisions. So it has to be a. transferred to the box and that is the correct answer. </span>

Estimate how far apart the rays of deepest red and deepest violet light are as they exit the bottom surface. assume nred = 1.57
Harlamova29_29 [7]
We begin by noting that the angle of incidence is the one that's taken with respect to the normal to the surface in question. In this case the angle of incidence is 30. The material is Flint Glass according to the original question. The refractive indez of air n1=1, the refractive index of red in flint glass is nred=1.57, finally for violet in the glass medium is nviolet=1.60. Snell's Law dictates:
n_1sin(\theta_1)=n_2sin(\theta_2)
Where \theta_2 differs for each wavelenght, that means violet and red will have different refractive indices in the glass.
In the second figure provided details are given on which are the angles in question, \Delta x is the distance between both rays.
\theta_{2red}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.57})\approx 18.5705
\theta_{2violet}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.60})\approx 18.21
At what distance d from the incidence normal will the beams land at the bottom?
For violet we have:
d_{violet}=h.tan(\theta_{2violet})\approx 0.0132m
For red we have:
d_{red}=h.tan(\theta_{2red})\approx 0.0134m
We finally have:
\Delta x=d_{red}-d_{violet}\approx2.8\times10^{-4}m

the force that is exerted when a shopping cart is pushed. the forces that causes a metal ball to move toward a magnet
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The force that is exerted when a shopping cart is pushed is a type of push force, supplied by the muscles of the cart pusher's body.

The forces that causes a metal ball to move toward a magnet is a type of pull force that is as a result of the magnetic field forces.

Explanation:

Forces are divided into push forces that tends to accelerate a body away from the source of the force, and pull forces that accelerates the body towards the force source.

Examples of push forces includes pushing a cart, pushing a table, repulsion of two similar poles of a magnet etc. Examples of pull forces includes a attractive force between two dissimilar poles of a magnet, pulling a load by a rope, a dog pulling on a leash etc.
