Answer:

True

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector, therefore it consists of two elements:

- A magnitude (also called speed), which is the ratio between the displacement of the object and the time taken

- A direction, which corresponds to the direction of motion of the object

Therefore, velocity can be describes as positive or negative, depending on the direction which has been chosen as positive. If we chose the positive x-axis as positive direction, therefore:

- if the object is moving to the right (positive x-direction), the velocity will be positive

- if the object is moving to the left (negative x-direction), the velocity will be negative

So, in this case, since the velocity of the cart is negative, it must be moving to the left.

An object is placed 18 cm in front of spherical mirror.if the image is formed at 4cm to the right of the mirror, calculate it's
ivolga24 [154]
1) Focal length

We can find the focal length of the mirror by using the mirror equation:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i} (1)
where 
f is the focal length
d_o is the distance of the object from the mirror
d_i is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this case, d_o = 18 cm, while d_i=-4 cm (the distance of the image should be taken as negative, because the image is to the right (behind) of the mirror, so it is virtual). If we use these data inside (1), we find the focal length of the mirror:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{18 cm}- \frac{1}{4 cm}=- \frac{7}{36 cm}
from which we find
f=- \frac{36}{7} cm=-5.1 cm

2) The mirror is convex: in fact, for the sign convention, a concave mirror has positive focal length while a convex mirror has negative focal length. In this case, the focal length is negative, so the mirror is convex.

3) The image is virtual, because it is behind the mirror and in fact we have taken its distance from the mirror as negative.

4) The radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length, so for the mirror in our problem the radius of curvature is:
r=2f=2 \cdot 5.1 cm=10.2 cm

Wegener believed continents moved, but he did not know how. Identify what needed to happen before Wegener's idea about moving co
pochemuha

D. Advances in technology were needed to gather more evidence.

Explanation:

New technologies had to be developed to ascertain Wegener's claims.

The major flaw in Wegener's postulate was that the moving continents lacked a mechanism to drive them into motion.

His theory needed more scientific backing also.

  • A major leap was made when new technologies used during the second world war was deployed to investigate the ocean floor.
  • Sequences of magnetic anomalies were unraveled using equipment developed during the second world war
  • This gave further proof to the idea of continental drift and it expanded the theory into a more broader and inclusive theory of plate tectonics.

A 26.0 kg child plays on a swing having support ropes that are 2.40 m long. A friend pulls her back until the ropes are 45.0 ∘ f
Sloan [31]
A)Ep'=mgh=mgl(1-cosa).At the bottom of the swing Ep=0(reference level),so the potential energy as the child is just released is bigger than the potential energy at the bottom of the swing.;B)The speed of the child at the bottom of the swing-->v=√(2gh)=√[2gl(1-cosa)];C)I don't think that the tension does any work.
