Answer:

b is the correct option.

Explanation:

Steam distillation is a distillation in which water is added to the mixture being distilled so that water and the organic compounds vaporize, condense and are collected together. This process is applied for the purification of those materials specially the organic materials which are temperature sensitive. The normal boiling method can not be implemented as these materials starts to decompose on high temperatures. This method has got a lot of applications in industries like petrolium refineries and the oil extraction from some plants etc.

When you look at the backside of a shiny teaspoon held at arm's length, do you see yourself upright or upside down? (b) When you

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) The back spoon gives a right image (upright)

b) the front gives an inverted image

Explanation:

The spoon is a curved metallic object, when we see ourselves from the back we have a convex mirror, in this type of mirror when the law of reflection is applied the rays diverge therefore the eye-brain system forms the image with the prolongation of the rays, therefore the image is straight and smaller than the object.

When we look through the deep side of the spoon, we have a concave mirror and as the object (we) is further away than the distance, the rays converge to a point, so the image is real, inverted smaller than the object.

In summary.

a) The back spoon gives a right image (upright)

b) the front gives an inverted image

Joe balances a stationary coin on the the tip of his finger 20 cm from the top of the table. How much work is Joe doing?

adell [148]

The work done by Joe is 0 J.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When a force is applied to an object, there will be a movement because of the applied force to a certain distance. This transfer of energy when a force is applied to an object that tends to move the object is known as work done.

The energy is transferred from one state to another and the stored energy is equal to the work done.

W = F . D

where F represents the force in newton,

D represents the distance or displacement of an object.

Force = 0 N, D = 20 cm = 0.20 m

W = 0 $\times$ 0.20 = 0 J.
