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.

An 75-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is $\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the hiker is $m = 75 \ kg$

The time taken is $T = 2 \ hr = 2 * 3600 = 7200 \ s$

The vertical elevation after time T is $H = 540 \ m$

The change in gravitational potential is mathematically represented as

$\Delta PE = mgH$

here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$

substituting values

$\Delta PE = 75 * 9.8 * 540$

$\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

Consult Interactive Solution 10.37 to explore a model for solving this problem. A spring is compressed by 0.0647 m and is used t

padilas [110]

Answer:

$\omega=32.14\ rad/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The compression in the spring, x = 0.0647 m

Speed of the object, v = 2.08 m/s

To find,

Angular frequency of the object.

Solution,

We know that the elation between the amplitude and the angular frequency in SHM is given by :

$v=\omega\times A$

A is the amplitude

In case of spring the compression in the spring is equal to its amplitude

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{A}$

$\omega=\dfrac{2.08\ m/s}{0.0647\ m}$

$\omega=32.14\ rad/s$

So, the angular frequency of the spring is 32.14 rad/s.

What is an experience from everyday life that appears to support the geocentric model

fomenos

<span>One everyday life experience that seems to support the geocentric model is the rising and setting of the Sun and Moon. The Moon rises and falls because it does revolve around the Earth and so it is easy to assume the same is true for the Sun.</span>
