This question may require more information for an accurate answer. If the clouds are observed west of the city and they are moving in a westerly direction it means that the clouds are moving away. Precipitation refers to rainfall, sleet, hail or snow. Since no reference was made to the temperature, season or location of the city it could be rain or snow clouds. The clouds are moving away from the city so the possible answers could be b. or d. Furthermore, by dividing the distance by the speed one would get an answer of twenty four hours. So even if the clouds were moving towards the city it would take a day to reach and precipitation would not be likely in 24 hrs.
Answer:
'Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are sent through a point on the near side of the mirror'.
Explanation:
The question is incomplete, find the complete question in the comment section.
Concave mirrors is an example of a curved mirror. The outer surface of a concave mirror is always coated. On the concave mirror, we have what is called the central axis or principal axis which is a line cutting through the center of the mirror. The points located on this axis are the Pole, the principal focus and the centre of curvature. <em>The focus point is close to the curved mirror than the centre of curvature.</em>
<em></em>
During the formation of images, one of the incident rays (rays striking the plane surface) coming from the object and parallel to the principal axis, converges at the focus point after reflection because all incident rays striking the surface are meant to reflect out. <em>All incident light striking the surface all converges at a point on the central axis known as the focus.</em>
Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that 'Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are sent through a point on the near side of the mirror'.
Answer:
The centripetal acceleration of the stone is 5 m/s²
Explanation:
The length of the string to which the stone is attached, r = 1 m
The speed with which the string is rotated, v = 5 m/s
The centripetal acceleration,
, is given as follows;

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the stone found as follows;

The centripetal acceleration of the stone,
= 5 m/s².
Answer:
Index of expansion: 4.93
Δu = -340.8 kJ/kg
q = 232.2 kJ/kg
Explanation:
The index of expansion is the relationship of pressures:
pi/pf
The ideal gas equation:
p1*v1/T1 = p2*v2/T2
p2 = p1*v1*T2/(T2*v2)
500 C = 773 K
20 C = 293 K
p2 = 35*0.1*773/(293*1.3) = 7.1 bar
The index of expansion then is 35/7.1 = 4.93
The variation of specific internal energy is:
Δu = Cv * Δt
Δu = 0.71 * (20 - 500) = -340.8 kJ/kg
The first law of thermodynamics
q = l + Δu
The work will be the expansion work
l = p2*v2 - p1*v1
35 bar = 3500000 Pa
7.1 bar = 710000 Pa
q = p2*v2 - p1*v1 + Δu
q = 710000*1.3 - 3500000*0.1 - 340800 = 232200 J/kg = 232.2 kJ/kg
