1. The statement about Newton's reflecting telescope contains 1 error. Find the error, write it, and

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.

Why is it important that radioisotopes used in diagnostic tests have short half-lives? 20 A) These radioisotopes have a greater
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option B) This minimizes the harmful side effects of the radiations

Explanation:

Half-life is the time taken for the decay of an radio-active atom in which it disintegrates such that it becomes half of its value at the beginning.... The nuclei should be in active mode for a longer duration sufficient for the treatment of the condition but these nuclei should have a sufficient  shorter half life so that they don't get enough time to cause any  damage to the health of the person other than treating the cause.

A shorter half life gives the assurance that the radiation after the treatment will leave the body without getting accumulated and cause harm to the body cells and other organs.

When air resistance is ignored, _____ of the projectile affect(s) the range and maximum height of the projectile.
FromTheMoon [43]

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.

Projectile is a missile designed to be fired from a rocket or gun.

A projectile is the object that is propelled by the application of an external force and then moves freely under the influence of gravity and air resistance.

The range is defined as the distance between the launch point and the point where the projectile hits the ground.

The height from the ground at the top most position of projectile is referred to as maximum height.

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.

the train accelerates from 30 km/h to 45 km/h in 15 secs. a. find its acceleration. b. distance it travels during this time ...
Sonbull [250]
Acceleration = v-u/t
= (45-30)/15
= 1 km/h


Distance = ut + 1/2 at^2
s = [30 x 15]  + 1/2 x 1 x 15^2 
= 562.5 km

Hope this helps
