ANSWER: B. False

Stopping when there is a speeding car about to hit you from behind would be the most illogical thing to do as this would increase the impact of collision. This is because you will certainly be propelled forwards with a speed as fast as the car behind you. This is according to the concept of momentum and collisions.

A machinist with normal vision has a near point at 25 cm. The machinist wears eyeglasses in order to do close work. The power of
Alik [6]

Answer:

17.4 cm

Explanation:

Power of lens = +1.75 diopters

Focal length of lens

f=\frac{100}{1.75}=\frac{400}{7}

This is a convex lens as focal the diopter given is positive which makes the focal length positive. Image distance will be negative.

v = -25

\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{-25}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{\frac{400}{7}}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{u}=\frac{7}{400}+\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-\frac{7}{400}-\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-0.0575\\\Rightarrow u=-17.4\ cm

∴ The new near point is 17.4 cm

A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting from a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound. What is the time interv
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

Explanation:

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency by the equation

          v = λ f

where the speed of sound is 340 m / s

          λ = v / f

          λ = 340/500

          λ = 0.68 m

this is the wavelength, it is the minimum distance for which the wave epitates its movement, which is equal to the distance between two consecutive compressions of the sound

          ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

Imagine that there is a small rocky body caught by Earth’s gravity. Draw a comic-strip cartoon
vladimir1956 [14]

To create this comic strip you can use a narration describing each step and illustrate each one with one image or drawing.

Creating a comic strip involves using images and short texts to explain a specific idea or phenomenon. In the case of the process for a meteor to enter Earth you can use the following ideas.

  • A meteoroid approaches the Earth at high speed and draw a meteor traveling near to different planets and approaching Earth.
  • What is that? and draw the Earth wondering who or what is approaching.
  • The meteoroid enters the atmosphere of the Earth and becomes a meteor and draw the rocky body burning
  • The rocky body crashes with the surface becoming a meteorite and draw the zone where the meteorite crashed.

An object appears red when viewed with white light. What color would it appear when viewed with blue light?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Colour of any object is by the colour of light it reflects i.e if white light is incident on the object,it will reflect blue color.so it will appear blue.But if red light is incident on it,it will not reflect that and absorb it.so as it will not reflect any light it will appear black.
