A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.

If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.

A convex security mirror has a radius of curvature of 12.0 cm. What is the magnification of a pare 3.0 m from the mirror?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

magnification will be -0.025

Explanation:

We have given the radius of curvature = 12 cm

And object distance = 3 m

So focal length $f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm$

Now for mirror we know that $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}$

So $\frac{1}{0.06}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{v}$

$16.66-0.333=\frac{1}{v}$

v = 0.750 m

Now magnification of the mirror is $m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{-0.750}{3}=-0.025$

In order for electrical current to flow through a solid, _____. the solid must have electrons the electrons in the solid must be

nydimaria [60]

Electrical current will flow through a solid by the means of electrons. The electrons in the solid must be able to move from lower to higher electrical potential. The electric current in certain solid electrolytes like ice is entirely composed of flowing ions.

The horizontal bar rises at a constant rate of three hundred mm/s causing peg P to ride in the quarter circular slot. When coord

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Horizontal bar rises with 300 mm/s

Let us take the horizontal component of P be

$P_x=rcos\theta$

$P_y=rsin\theta$

where $\theta$ is angle made by horizontal bar with x axis

Velocity at y=150 mm

$150=300sin\theta$

thus $\theta =30^{\circ}$

position of $P_x=rcos\theta =300\cdot cos30=300\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$P_x=259.80 mm$

$P=259.80\hat{i}+150\hat{j}$

Velocity at this instant

$u_x=-rsin\theta =300\times sin30=-150 mm/s$

$u_y=rcos\theta =300\times cos30=259.80 mm/s$

when 82.5 calories of heat are given to a metallic rod of mass 150g its temperature raises from 20 degree celcius to 25 degree C

marishachu [46]

A 150-g metallic rod with a specific heat of 0.11 cal/g.°C absorbs 82.5 calories of heat and its temperature increases from 20 °C to 25 °C.

<h3>What is specific heat?</h3>

It is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount (usually one degree).

A metallic rod of mass 150 g (m) absorbs 82.5 cal of heat (Q) and its temperature raises from 20 °C to 25 °C. We can calculate the specific heat (c) of the metal using the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

c = Q / m × ΔT

c = 82.5 cal / 150 g × (25 °C - 20 °C) = 0.11 cal/g.°C

A 150-g metallic rod with a specific heat of 0.11 cal/g.°C absorbs 82.5 calories of heat and its temperature increases from 20 °C to 25 °C.
