Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Speed of an object is defined as the distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity It is composed only of the magnitude but the direction is absent. Mathematically, it is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

d = distance

t = time

So, the correct option is (c) " distance per time ". Its unit can be miles per hour or meter per second.

11. Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're _______ than a refracting telescope.
Anon25 [30]
I do not know what the school expects as an answer, but advantage of reflecting telescopes is that there is only one major reflecting surface, so it is quite easy to create a 6 or 8 inch telescope by an amateur, after adding on a prism and an eyepiece.  (a microscope eyepiece could be used).
MY answer would be "easier to build".  (it still takes tens of hours to grind and polish the single plane surface to a parabolic surface).

Electromagnetic waves all have the same velocity in the same medium.  However, since frequencies vary widely, so do wavelengths.

A radio wave transmits 34.5 W/m2 of power per unit area. A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagati
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

1.15*10^-7 N/m²

Explanation:

Radiation pressure is the pressure exerted on any surface, as a result of the exchange of momentum between the object and its electromagnetic field.

The formula to calculate radiation pressure on a perfect absorber is

P = s/c, where

P = radiation pressure

s = intensity of light

c = speed of light

Now, on substituting the values and plugging it into the equation, we have

P = 34.5 / 3*10^8

P = 1.15*10^-7 N/m²

therefore, radiation pressure is found to be 1.15*10^-7 N/m²

If you were going to describe the relationship between current, voltage, and power, you could say: (1 point) Group of answer cho
Ber [7]

Answer:

The correct option is "In order to gain more power you would need to increase either current or voltage."

Explanation:

To answer the question, we note that;

The formula for Electrical Power are as follows,

P = I²·R, or P = I·V,

Therefore, if we increase either the current, I with the voltage, V remaining constant or we increase the Voltage, V with the current, I remaining constant or we increase both the voltage, V an the current, I the Power, P will be increased.

Therefore, the correct option is "In order to gain more power you would need to increase either current or voltage."

In the long run, why might it be less expensive to construct 100 geothermal power plants than to form the same area for corn to
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Geothermal power plants require high-temperature (300°F to 700°F) hydrothermal resources that come from either dry steam wells or from hot water wells. People use these resources by drilling wells into the earth and then piping steam or hot water to the surface. The hot water or steam powers a turbine that generates electricity. Some geothermal wells are as much as 2 miles deep.
