Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur at the surface of an ocean. They usually result from distant winds or geologic effects and may travel thousands of miles before striking land. They range in size from small ripples to huge tsunamis. There is surprisingly little actual forward motion of individual water particles in a wave, despite the large amount of forward energy it may carry.

An object at a distance of 30 cm from a concave mirror gets its image at the same point. The focal length of the mirror is

Nimfa-mama [501]

The focal length of the mirror is 15 cm

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Object distance (u) = 30 cm

Image distance (v) = 30 cm

<h3>Focal length (f) =? </h3>

The focal length of the mirror can be obtained as follow:

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} \\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{30}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{2}{30} \\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15} \\\\$

<h3>Invert </h3><h3>f = 15 cm</h3>

Therefore, the focal length of the mirror is 15 cm

Which statement best describes the properties of metals?

topjm [15]

<span>The only statement that states a fact about metals is the first option, letter A. They are shiny and bend without breaking. Choices B-D are wrong because metals are not insulators but are god conductors of heat and electricity. Metals can be flattened but they are not brittle.</span>

Why is it important for an engineer who is designing a new home-cooling/heating system to have knowledge about the transfer of h

Masteriza [31]

Cooling and heating system involves the collection and dissipation of heat appropriately. Heat gradient is important for heat transfer between systems because heat travels from the warmer system to the cooler system. The right medium for heat transfer is also important for this exchange – A good conductor of heat is required.
