A four-wheel-drive vehicle is transporting an injured hiker to the hospital from a point that is 30 km from the nearest point on
zepelin [54]

Answer:

D=200\ km

Explanation:

distance on terrain, d_t=30\ km

  • distance on the road, d_r=70\ km
  • speed on terrain, v_t=30\ km.hr^{-1}
  • speed  on road, v_r=130\ km.hr^{-1}

<u>time taken on the terrain,</u>

t_t=\frac{d_t}{v_t}

t_t=\frac{30}{30}

t_t=1\ hr

<u>time taken to cover the distance on the road:</u>

t_r=\frac{d_r}{v_r}

t_r=\frac{70}{130}

t_r=\frac{7}{13}\ hr

<u>Now the distance covered on terrain in the total time:</u>

D= v_r\times (t_r+t_t)

D= 130\times (\frac{7}{13}+1)

D=130\times \frac{20}{13}\

D=200\ km

<em>is the distance the vehicle must target on the road to minimize the time taken in going off the road.</em>

The second law of thermodynamics states that all energy transformations result in more disordered energy. How can photosynthesis
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The addition of energy form the sun known as solar energy to the reaction in other to yield glucose.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that all matter affected by energy are becoming more random. Indicting that there is a continuous increase in the entropy of the universe.  

In other words as a system loses energy to its surroundings. it becomes more random or experiences an increase in entropy

According to the second law of thermodynamics glucose would break down into CO₂ and H₂O under ordinary conditions, rather than fpr CO₂ to combine with H₂O to form glucose.

However due to the energy added through sunlight, the CO₂ and H₂Oare able to combine to form glucose.

the number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's _______ , and the number of electrons determines _______ o
Sedbober [7]

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom’s identity and the number of electrons determines electrical charge of an element.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are enclosed in a specific spherical region at the center of the atom termed as nucleus of the atom. This is because proton is positive charge and neutron is neutral charged high mass particles.

While the electrons are negative charged lighter mass particles. So the electrons will revolve around the nucleus. The protons number in element's one atom helps to identity its chemical properties of the element. While the electrons number in an element will determine the electrical charge and conducting nature of the element.

Chromatic aberration affected:
Simora [160]
<h2>Answer: c. refracting telescopes</h2>

Explanation:

Refracting telescopes have an optical system consisting of a set of lenses that have the property of deflecting (refracting) the light that passes through them.

In this way, the<u> images captured from distant objects converge on a point in the focal plane of the telescope. </u>

However, the main disadvantage of this type of telescope is the chromatic aberration, which produces annoying color halos (mainly red and blue) around the image.

It should be noted that the chromatic aberration occurs because the different wavelengths that make up the light (the colors of the light) that passes through the objective lens deviate (refract) in different ways, causing them not to focus on the same point. For example,  blue wavelengths are focused before the green wavelengths and these before the red ones. And this problem is stronger the shorter the focal length of the lens is.

Iron is more elastic than rubber . Give reason.
Arisa [49]

The deforming force increases as you pull harder, and the rubber band may break, but the iron rod will not. As a result, rubber has less elasticity than iron.

<h3 /><h3>What is elasticity?</h3>

A body's ability to regain its former shape after being subjected to external deforming pressures is known as elasticity.

If you pull harder, the deforming force will rise and the rubber band may break, but the iron rod won't. As a result, we may say that rubber is less elastic than iron.

Hence, iron is more elastic than rubber.

To learn more about the elasticity refer to:
