<u>Answer: </u>

Because <em>"a concave mirror converge the parallel sun rays at a point, so high temperature is achieved"</em>

Example:

It is used in the design of solar furnaces, because they converge the parallel sun rays at a point. This helps to increase the temperature of the furnace.

What would the single sample Cohen's d value be if the difference in sample mean and hypothesized mean was 16, and the sample st

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate an effect size, called Cohen's d , for the one-sample t-test you need to divide the mean difference by the standard deviation of the difference, as shown below. Note that, here: sd(x-mu) = sd(x) . μ is the theoretical mean against which the mean of our sample is compared (default value is mu = 0).

Of the following approximate conversions of celsius into fahrenheit, which is most accurate? a. 24°c almost-equals 75.9°f b. 2°c

Softa [21]

The most accurate among the options is 13°c almost-equals 55.0°f, when you round down 55.4, you get 55.0

Hence, option D) is the most accurate.

<h3>What is Scale of Temperature?</h3>

Scale of temperature is simply a method used in calibrating the physical quantity of temperature in metrology.

Conversion of Celsius into Fahrenheit, Formula is expressed as;

Degree = (0 × 9/5) + 32 = Fahrenheit

First we check each option;

A) 24°c almost-equals 75.9°f

24°C = (24 × 9/5) + 32 = 75.2°F

B) 2°C almost-equals 35.8°f

2°C = (2 × 9/5) + 32 = 35.6°F

C) 34°C almost-equals 92.7°f

34°C = (34 × 9/5) + 32 = 93.2°F

D) 13°c almost-equals 55.0°f

13°C = (13 × 9/5) + 32 = 55.4°F

The most accurate among the options is 13°c almost-equals 55.0°f, when you round down 55.4, you get 55.0

Hence, option D) is the most accurate.

A ray of light is moving from a material having a high indexof refraction into a material with a lower index of refraction.

luda_lava [24]

(a) Away from the normal

We can find the direction of bending of the ray of light by using Snell's equation:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where we have:

n1, n2: index of refraction of the first and second medium

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ ; angle that the incident and the refracted ray form with the normal to the surface

Here, the light ray moves from a material with high index of refraction to a material with lower index, so we have

$n_1 > n_2$

Re-arranging Snell's law we find

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2} sin \theta_1$

since we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}>1$

this implies

$sin \theta_2 > sin \theta_1\\\theta_2 > \theta_1$

so the ray of light bends away from the normal.

(b) The wavelength is greater in the second material (the one with lower index of refraction)

The wavelength of the light in a medium is given by

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0$ is the wavelength of the light in a vacuum

n is the refractive index

The equation can be rewritten as

$\lambda_0 = \lambda_1 n_1 = \lambda_2 n_2$

and again it can be rewritten as

$\lambda_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2} \lambda_1$

where

$\lambda_1 = 600 nm\\\frac{n_1}{n_2}>1$

Therefore, we have that the wavelength in the second medium (the one with lower index of refraction) is longer than the wavelength in the first medium.

(c) The frequency remains the same

Wavelength and speed of a light ray depend on the medium in which the wave is travelling through, however the frequency does not depend on that, so it remains the same in the two mediums.

Alenkinab [10]

The mechanical advantage of the forklift is calculated to be 4.

<h3>MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE:</h3>

The mechanical advantage of a machine can be calculated by dividing the load (F) by effort (F). That is;

M.A = Load/Effort

According to this question, a crate required 900 newtons (N) of force to lift. The crate was lifted by a forklift with an engine that provided 225 N of force. The mechanical advantage is calculated as follows:

M.A = 900N ÷ 225N

M.A = 4.

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the forklift is calculated to be 4.

ivanzaharov [21]

Solution: C. Pangea

The hypothesis of Continental drift suggests that in past, there was only one landmass on the Earth -Pangaea which drifted apart due to movement of plate tectonics causing earthquake. This hypothesis is supported by many evidences which includes presence of similar fossils on different landmasses, common land features such as widespread presence of glacial sediments etc.
