Three swimmers can swim equally fast relative to the water. They have a race to see who can swim across a flowing river in the l

east time. Swimmer A swims perpendicular to the current and lands on the opposite shore downstream, because the current has swept him in that direction. Swimmer B swims upstream at angle to the current, so that when she reaches the other side, she is straight across from where she started. Swimmer C swims downstream at an angle theta in an attempt to take advantage of the current. Who crosses the river in the least time?

Add these measurements, using significant digit rules:<br><br> 1.0090 cm + 0.02 cm = cm
marin [14]

Answer:

1.029

Explanation:

1.0090 can also be looked at as "1.009"

0.02 can also be looked at as "0.020"

I think of it as 20+9 which is 29. There for your answer should be 1.029. There are no measurement rules applying to this equation since they are both in centimeters. So you don't have to convert anything.

Which of the following describes a concave mirror. Select all that apply. Objects within the focal length will create real image
ahrayia [7]
Let's see sentence-by-sentence:

<span>- Objects within the focal length will create real images. --> false
In fact, objects within the focal length create virtual images, as it can be seen in the ray diagrams here:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Concavemirror_raydiagram_F.svg

- Concave mirrors converge distant parallel light rays on the focal point. --> TRUE: the parallel rays (with respect to the mirror's axis) are reflected back into the focal point of the mirror, as it can be seen also from the previous picture.

- Concave mirrors can only create real images. --> FALSE: as it can be seen from the first picture, when the object is between the focus and the mirror, its image is virtual.

Concave mirrors can create real and virtual images. --> TRUE: concave mirrors can create real and virtual images, depending on the position of the object.

- Objects far away from concave mirrors will appear enlarged. --> FALSE:
as it can be seen from the ray diagram, the size of the image is smaller than the size of the object. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d2/Concavemirror_raydiagram_2F.svg

- Objects between the center of curvature and the focal point will create real images.--> TRUE: as it can be seen from the ray diagram (2F corresponds to the center of curvature), the image in this case is on the same side of the object, so it is real. </span>https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Concavemirror_raydiagram_2FE.svg

If something is 50% efficient, how many joules of wasted energy will there be if 750J of energy is put in?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

375J of wasted energy

Explanation:

Efficiency=work output/work input×100%

50=w.o/750×100

750×50=100w.o

w.o=750×50/100

w.o=75×5

w.o=375J

Wasted energy=750J-375J

=375J

Aliter

If the machine is 50% efficient then it is also 50% inefficient

50%×750J=375J
