zavuch27 [327]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A convex mirror is a mirror whose outer bulging surface is the reflecting surface.

A convex mirror is used to see the distant objects and the image formed by the convex mirror is always erect and small. So, it is used as the rear view mirror.

It always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image of a real object.

It never forms a real image of a real object.

True or false Scientific endeavor is driven by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

its true that Scientific endeavor is driven by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands.

Explanation:

When a scientist has a curiosity about something he carried out a research. and when their is a demand of something in society that time scientific research is carried out. Therefore its true that a scientific endeavor is driven by simple curiosity or societal demand.

For example

in society, there is demand of a medicine which can completely kill the cancer and a scientist has curiosity to know how to kill cancer cell. In this way a scientific endeavor for cancer medicine can be carried out by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands.

As a way of determining the inductance of a coil used in a research project, a student first connects the coil to a 5.62 V batte

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Its inductance L = 166 mH

Explanation:

Since a current, I = 0.698 A is obtained when a voltage , V = 5.62 V is applied, the resistance of the coil is gotten from V = IR

R = V/I = 5.62/0.698 = 8.052 Ω

Since we have a current of I' = 0.36 A (rms) when a voltage of V' = 35.1 V (rms) is applied, the impedance Z of the coil is gotten from

V₀' = I₀'Z where V₀ = maximum voltage = √2V' and I₀ = maximum current = √2I'

Z = V'/I' = √2 × 35.1 V/√2 × 0.36 V = 97.5 Ω

WE now find the reactance X of the coil from

Z² = X² + R²

X = √(Z² - R²)

= √(97.5² - 8.05²)

= √(9506.25 - 64.8025)

= √9441.4475

= 97.17 Ω

Now, the reactance X = 2πfL where f = frequency of generator = 93.1 Hz and L = inductance of coil.

L = X/2πf

= 97.17/2π(93.1 Hz)

= 97.17 Ω/584.965 rad/s

= 0.166 H

= 166 mH

Its inductance L = 166 mH

Statement A: Area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.

pochemuha

Explanation:

Formula for calculating the area of a rectangle A = Length *width

For statement A;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²

The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)

For statement B;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²

Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)

Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm² is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.

The cylinder with piston locked in place is immersed in a mixture of ice and water and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium wi

lukranit [14]

Answer:

a. volume of gas: (decreases)

b. temperature of gas: (same)

c. internal energy of gas: (same)

d. pressure of gas: (increases)

Explanation:

We have a gas (let's suppose that is ideal) in a piston with a fixed volume V.

Then we put in a reservoir at 0°C (the mixture of water and ice)

remember that the state equation for an ideal gas is:

P*V = n*R*T

and:

U = c*n*R*T

where:

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of mols

R = constant

c = constant

T = temperature.

Now, we have equilibrium at T = 0°C, then we can assume that T is also a constant.

Then in the equation:

P*V = n*R*T

all the terms in the left side are constants.

P*V = constant

And knowing that:

U = c*n*R*T

then:

n*R*T = U/c

We can replace it in the other equation to get:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Now, the piston is (slowly) moving inwards, then:

a) Volume of the gas: as the piston moves inwards, the volume where the gas can be is smaller, then the volume of the gas decreases.

b) temperature of the gas: we know that the gas is a thermal equilibrium with the mixture (this happens because we are in a slow process) then the temperature of the gas does not change.

c) Internal energy of the gas:

we have:

P*V = n*R*T = constant

and:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Then:

U = c*Constant

This means that the internal energy does not change.

d) Pressure of the gas:

Here we can use the relation:

P*V = constant

then:

P = (constant)/V

Now, if V decreases, the denominator in that equation will be smaller. We know that if we decrease the value of the denominator, the value of the quotient increases.

And the quotient is equal to P.

Then if the volume decreases, we will see that the pressure increases.
