A student says that a speed of 50 m/s is faster than a speed of 140 km/h because the number is bigger. What would you say to the

m?
Pls can someone help me pls!
It’s so important!!!!

The units are not consistent - 1 m/s is not the same as 1 km/h.

First thing to do would be to convert from one unit of speed to the other, say km/h to m/s. There are 1000 meters (m) for every kilometer (km) and 3600 seconds (s) for every hour (h), so

1\,\dfrac{\mathrm{km}}{\mathrm h}\cdot\dfrac{10^3\,\mathrm m}{\mathrm{km}}\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm h}{3600\,\mathrm s}\approx0.278\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

So in fact 1 km/h is about 4 times slower than 1 m/s.

The smallness of the critical angle θc for diamond means that light is easily "trapped" within a diamond and eventually emerges
hoa [83]

Answer:

26.6°

Explanation:

refractive index of diamond, n = 2.23

When a ray of light passes from denser medium to the rarer medium and refracts at an angle of 90 degree from the normal of the surface, such angle of incidence in the denser medium is called the critical angle.

By the Snell's law

\frac{Sini}{Sin r }= n

For critical angle, angle of incidence is critical angle, i = θc and angle of refraction, r = 90

So,

Sin θc / Sin 90 = 1 / 2.23

Sin θc = 0.448

θc = 26.6°

Thus, the critical angle is 26.6°.

What is the difference between a general and a specific tolerance, and how can you tell the difference on a drawing?
Gnesinka [82]
<span>During the reading of a blueprint, a general tolerance pertains to all dimensions that are not independently identified. All tolerances are +\- .030. General tolerances are mostly found in the blueprint’s set of information. Let’s say for example, a compact tolerance is required, then a specific tolerance is considered for specific areas of the blueprint. These kinds of tolerances are commonly found along the affected area.</span>

The direction of current in a solenoid depends on the direction of magnetic field’. Do you agree with this statement? Showthe pa
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

1) Yes the direction of the magnetic field is found based on Fleming's Right Hand Rule

2) The pattern indicates the direction of the magnetic force field lines

Explanation:

1) The solenoid is the is the coil of electric conductor that when it carries an electric current produces a magnetic field

According to Fleming's Right Hand Rule, the direction of the magnetic field produced by a solenoid, depends on the direction of the current such that when the direction of the conventional current is in the direction of the wrapped fingers, the thumb points in the direction of the magnetic field which is North N.

2) The pattern of field lines inside the solenoid indicates the direction of the generated magnetic field moving from left to right within the solenoid as the electric current moves around in the direction shown in the diagram.
