A solar cooker, really a concave mirror pointed at the Sun, focuses the Sun's rays 13.8 cm in front of the mirror. Part A What i

From the concept of optics on a curvature of a spherical mirror, the proportion for which the focal length is equivalent to half the radius of curvature is fulfilled. Mathematically this is

f = \frac{R}{2}

Here,

f = Focal Length

R = Radius

Rearranging to find the radius we have,

R = 2f

Replacing with our values,

R = 2(13.8cm)

R = 27.6cm

Therefore the radius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made is 27.6cm

viktelen [127]

Answer:

B. has a smaller frequency

C. travels at the same speed  

Explanation:

The wording of the question is a bit confusing, it should be short/long for wavelength and low/high for frequency. I assume low wavelength mean short wavelength.

All sound wave travel with the same velocity(343m/s) so wavelength doesn't influence its speed at all. It won't be faster or slower, it will have the same speed.

Velocity is a product of wavelength and frequency. So, a long-wavelength sound wave should have a lower frequency.

The option should be:

A. travels slower -->false

B. has a smaller frequency -->true

C. travels at the same speed  --->true

D. has a higher frequency  --->false

E. travels faster has the same frequency  --->false

During the latter part of your European vacation, you are hanging out at the beach at the gold coast of Spain. As you are laying
Jlenok [28]

Well, I guess you can come close, but you can't tell exactly.

It must be presumed that the seagull was flying through the air
when it "let fly" so to speak, so the jettisoned load of ballast
of which the bird unburdened itself had some initial horizontal
velocity.

That impact velocity of 98.5 m/s is actually the resultant of
the horizontal component ... unchanged since the package
was dispatched ... and the vertical component, which grew
all the way down in accordance with the behavior of gravity.

  98.5 m/s  =  √ [ (horizontal component)² + (vertical component)² ].

The vertical component is easy; that's (9.8 m/s²) x (drop time).
Since we're looking for the altitude of launch, we can use the
formula for 'free-fall distance' as a function of acceleration and
time:

             Height = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²) .

If the impact velocity were comprised solely of its vertical
component, then the solution to the problem would be a
piece-o-cake.

                  Time = (98.5 m/s) / (9.81 m/s²) = 10.04 seconds
whence
                 Height = (1/2) (9.81) (10.04)²

                            =   (4.905 m/s²) x (100.8 sec²)  =  494.43 meters.

As noted, this solution applies only if the gull were hovering with
no horizontal velocity, taking careful aim, and with malice in its
primitive brain, launching a remote attack on the rich American.

If the gull was flying at the time ... a reasonable assumption ... then
some part of the impact velocity was a horizontal component.  That
implies that the vertical component is something less than 98.5 m/s,
and that the attack was launched from an altitude less than 494 m.

motikmotik

Answer:

B. If the container is cooled, the gas particles will lose kinetic energy and temperature will decrease.

C. If the gas particles move more quickly, they will collide more frequently with the walls of the container and pressure will increase.

E. If the gas particles move more quickly, they will collide with the walls of the container more often and with more force, and pressure will increase.

Two objects are in freefall. Object A experiences a gravitational force of
Vlad1618 [11]

<u>Answer:</u>

Both the objects A and B will have the same acceleration.

<u>Explanation :</u>

The objects will have the same acceleration as both are under free fall condition. When objects are under the free fall condition, the only force that acts on the object is its weight.

Weight is the force acting on a body of some mass, and the formula for finding the weight of a body is- Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity(g).

Therefore, here the different weight is due to the difference masses of both bodies, and not due to the different acceleration values.
