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

Jlenok [28]3 years ago

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.

natita [175]

Answer:

3.258 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

Energy stored in spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 263\times 0.7^2\\\Rightarrow U=64.435\ J

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=U-\mu mgx\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{U-\mu mgx}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{64.435-0.4\times 8\times 9.81\times 0.7}{8}}\\\Rightarrow v=3.258\ m/s

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s

Three observers watch a train pull away from a station toward the right of the platform. Observer A is in one of the train’s car
juin [17]

Observer A is moving inside the train

so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame

So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all

Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body

So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform

Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction

So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate

Now as per Newton's II law

F = ma

Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion

So we can say

- F = ma

a = \frac{-F}{m}

so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate

It is not affected by the gravity  because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train

So there is no effect on train motion

Which statement provides the best description of a computational model?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Computation modeling is used as the software for math, physics, or software engineering in the simulation and study of complicated processes. The software framework incorporates many parameters, that characterize the model under study. It is a computer program, in which the mathematical formula is generated by computers and research complex systems.

If the current in this circuit is 3 A, what must be the value of R3?<br><br><br>It's 5 Ω
Svetllana [295]

Explanation :

It is given that,

In the given figure all the three resistors are in series.

Current flowing in the circuit, I=3\ A

Voltage, V=30\ V

We know that in series circuit the current flowing in all resistors is same.

Using Ohm's law, we get:

V=IR

30\ V=3\ A(2\ \Omega+3\ \Omega+R_3)

R_3=5\ \Omega

Hence, this is the required solution.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Concrete

Explanation:

The speed at which sound propagates is medium dependent. As one of the forms of mechanical waves, sound requires a material medium for propagation from place to place.

  • Sound travels with the least speed in air because air particles are far apart and they are randomized.
  • Sound travels with the greatest speed in solids. Concrete is the only solid material given in the choice.

The speed of sound increases from air to liquid and to solid.
