The first one is the light bends sheikh is known as refraction
Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.
Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.
Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.
@AL2006 had answered this before: Well, first of all, wherever you got this question from has done
a really poor job of question-writing. There are a few assorted
blunders in the question, both major and minor ones:
-- 22,500 is the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit in miles, not km.
-- That figure of 22,500 miles is its altitude above the surface,
not its radius from the center of the Earth.
-- The orbital period of a synchronous satellite has to match
the period of the Earth's rotation, and that's NOT 24 hours.
It's about 3 minutes 56 seconds less ... about 86,164 seconds.
Here's my solution to the question, using some of the wreckage
as it's given, and correcting some of it. If you turn in these answers
as homework, they'll be marked wrong, and you'll need to explain
where they came from. If that happens, well, serves ya right for
turning in somebody else's answers for homework.
The satellite is traveling a circle. The circle's radius is 26,200 miles
(not kilometers) from the center of the Earth, so its circumference
is (2 pi) x (26,200 miles) = about 164,619 miles.
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
= (164,619 miles) / day
(264,929 km)
= 6,859 miles per hour
(11,039 km)
= 1.91 miles per second
(3.07 km)
<span>d. The parallaxes beyond a few thousand light years are
too small to be measured with common instruments.
I'm not sure that parallax can even be used out to a few
thousand light years.
The NEAREST star to Earth has the BIGGEST parallax.
The star is Alpha Centauri. It's only 4 light years away
from us, and its parallax is 0.000206 of a degree !
I have no idea how astronomers can measure angles
so small ... and that's the BIGGEST parallax angle of
ANY star.</span>
The image formed by a concave mirror with the object placed at the center of curvature is real inverted and formed at the center of curvature. Using the ray diagram a ray from the top of the object to the mirror through f then reflected parallel to the principal axis,then the ray through the center of curvature reflected through the same point both intersect at a plane through center curvature and perpendicular to the principal axis. The point of intersection forms the top of the image and the center of curvature forms the bottom. Therefore, the correct choices are : real and inverted
