Mirages are due to what

Convection causes the temperature of the air to vary from cool-hot. this variation between the hot air on the surface of the road and the cold air that is close above it creates a gradient located in the refractive index of air and you see what we call a mirage! hope this helps!.

Two application of heat energy

densk [106]

Answer:

Heat is very important in our daily life in warming the house, cooking, heating the water, and drying the washed clothes. The heat has many usages in the industry as making and processing the food and manufacture of the glass, the paper, the textile, and etc.

Wha is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

5.5 × 10-2 hertz

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

= 0.055 per second (1 cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 X 10^{-2} hertz.

What is the moment of inertia of a 2.0 kg, 20-cm-diameter disk for rotation about an axis (a) through the center, and (b) throug

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

(a) I=0.01 kg.m²

(b) I=0.03 kg.m²

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of disk M=2.0 kg

Diameter of disk d=20 cm=0.20 m

To Find

(a) Moment of inertia through the center of disk

(b) Moment of inertia through the edge of disk

Solution

For (a) Moment of inertia through the center of disk

Using the equation of moment of Inertia

$I=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\\ I=\frac{1}{2}(2.0kg)(0.20m/2)^{2}\\ I=0.01 kg m^{2}$

For (b) Moment of inertia through the edge of disk

We can apply parallel axis theorem for calculating moment of inertia

$I=(1/2)MR^{2}+MD\\ Here\\D=R\\I=(1/2)(2.0kg)(0.20m/2)^{2}+(2.0kg)(0.20m/2)^{2}\\ I=0.03kgm^{2}$

You are attempting to row across a stream in your rowboat. Your paddling speed relative to still water is 3.0 m/s (i.e., if you

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Please check the attached file for the diagram

Explanation:

The velocity of the of the rowboat $V_{tot}$ through the river is the resultant velocity. It is obtained taking a vector sum of the velocity in still water and the velocity of the river.

There are several ways to take this vector sum, but the question makes it simple for us to use Pythagoras's theorem because the East and North directions are perpendicular to each other.

Hence;

$V_{tot}^2=V_{still}^2+V_{w}^2\\V_{tot}^2=3^2+4^2$

$V_{tot}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\ V_{tot}=\sqrt{25}=5m/s$
