Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given, 1,152 British thermal units

1 British thermal unit = 1055.06 joules

So, in 1,152 British thermal units there will be :

$1152\times 1055.06 Joules=1215429.12 Joules=1.21542912\times 10^{8} Joules$

Hence, from the given options the closest answer is of option (d). So, option (d) is correct.

In order to answer this question, you have to know ... or find out ...
how many joules there are in one BTU, or how many BTU there are
in one joule.

I don't know those numbers. It's pretty easy to find them in a few seconds,
by searching on-line. You could easily do that. But since I'm going to take
your points, you can just relax, and I'll go and look it up for you.

OK. I'm back. I found out that there are 1,055.06 joules in one BTU.

So

(1,152 BTU) x (1,055.06 Joules/BTU) = 1,215,429.12 joules

What an object is placed 8 mm from a concave spherical mirror a clear image can be projected on the screen 16 mm in front of me

alexgriva [62]

Concept: The magnification of spherical mirror can be defined by two ways.

(i) In terms of the height of the object and image.

The magnification of the spherical mirror is defined as the ratio of the height of the image' $h_{i}$ ' to the height of the object ' $h_{o}$ '. It is denoted by letter 'm'.

Mathematically, it can be written as

$m= \frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} ------------(1)$

(ii) In terms of the object's and image's distances.

The magnification of the spherical mirror is defined as the negative ratio of the image distance' $d_{i}$ ' to the object distance ' $d_{o}$ '.

Mathematically, it can be written as

$m= - \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} ------------(2)$

Now, from equation (1) and (2) we have,

$m = \frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = - \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} -----------(3)$

Given: Spherical Concave Mirror,

We will consider positive sign for object's and image's distance because both are in front of the mirror.

Object distance $(d_{o}) = + 8 mm$ .

Image distance $(d_{i}) = + 16 mm$

Object's height $(h_{o}) = + 4 mm$

Image's height $(h_{i}) =?$

Now, apply equation (3)

$\frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = - \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}$

$Or, \frac{h_{i}}{4 mm} = - \frac{+16 mm}{+8 mm}$

Or, hi = - 8 mm

Here; negative sign means, the image will be inverted.

The image's height will be 8 mm.

what is your weight in newtons if your potential energy is equal to 1000 joules and your mass is 60 kg

Darina [25.2K]

Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.

If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir

Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A Law is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.

Unlike theory, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

What is the wavelenght of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 11 km/s and a frequency of 15 Hz

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The wavelength is about 733 meters.

Explanation:

Use the wavelength-frequency relationship:

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}= \frac{11000 \frac{m}{s}}{15 s^{-1}}\approx733m$

The wavelength is about 733 meters.
