Answer:

i. The error is the rough convex mirror.

ii. This should be replaced with a smooth convex morror.

Explanation:

Reflection is dependent on the surface involved and has two types; diffuse and specular. When the surface is rough, diffused reflection is observed. The surface causes a distortion of the incident light (the rays would be reflected at different angles to one another) after reflection. This makes some rays to interfere with one another. While specular reflection is observed with a smooth surface.

In the statement, the rough convex mirror would produce a distorted reflection which would produce diffused reflection. The effect is that few or no rays (depending on the degree of how rough the surfce is) would be reflected to the other smooth, flat diagonal mirror.

Answer:

Chemical reactions occur slower at lower temperatures and faster at higher temperatures. When you put a glow stick in cold water, the chemical reaction slows down but will last for a longer period of time. When you put a glow stick in hot water, the reaction speeds up but will be over quicker.

Explanation:

(self-explanatory)

I hope this helps, have a nice day.

This is a group of elements with few valence electrons that conducts heat and electricity.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Metals

Explanation:

The group of elements with few valence electrons that conducts heat and electricity is known metals. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. The outer electrons in metals are loosely bound to the atom and are thus able to freely move around and conduct electricity and heat.

2. Predict what will happen if the 80 kg adult was further from the pivot (more right) and explain your reasoning. 3. Predict wh
Alika [10]

Answer:

2) τ = F x  torque increases, 3) troque decreases,

4)  man approaches the pivot and the child must move away

5)  Σ τ = 0

Explanation:

2) when the man moves away from the pivot his torque increases significantly, since his distance increases

                 τ = F x

                 τ = m g x

therefore the system rotates faster

3) when the child approaches the pivot, his troque decreases, because the distance decreases

                 τ = f x

therefore the system must spin slower

4) If we place the man and the child on the side of a scale, the movement must be the man approaches the pivot and the child must move away, so that the torque is the same and the system can reach a balance

5) the rotational equilibrium expression

                 Σ τ = 0

is the one that describes the equilibrium of a system with several forces
