Answer:

26500 W/m²

Explanation:

Given that:

The diameter of the dish d = 1.2 m

Assuming the Solar power P capture by the dish = 1300 W

The surface area of the pot is calculated by using the formula:

= \pi r^2

\pi \dfrac{d^2}{4}

where; the diameter = 25 cm

Area = \pi \dfrac{d^2}{4}

Area = \pi \dfrac{0.25^2}{4}

Area = 0.049 m²

The intensity is calculated by using the formula

I = power/area

I = 1300/0.049

I = 26530.6 W/m²

I ≅ 26500 W/m²

A 5.00-g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 320 m/s. the expanding gases behind it exert what force on the bull
muminat

Answer;

= 312 Newtons

Explanation;

The bullet has a mass of 0.005 kg, and a velocity of 320 m/s, so we need to find it's final kinetic energy.  

KE = 1/2*m*v^2

      = 1/2*0.005*320^2

      = 256 Joules.  

Divide this by the distance over which this energy was received and you have the force that provided that energy.  

  = 256/0.820 = 312.195 Newtons  

Rounded off, this is 312 N

If A.B=A.C<br>does this imply that B must be equal to c ? <br>I need answer with example please ​
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Consider\ three\ variables\ a,b\ and\ c.\\If,\\ab=ac\\a*b=a*c\\We\ may\ now\ divide\ the\ LHS\ and\ RHS\ by\ a,\\Hence,\\\frac{a*b}{a} =\frac{a*c}{a}\\Hence,\\b=c

Ex: \\Consider\ a=5, b=6.\\Hence\ if,\\a*b=a*c\\5*6=5*c\\Hence,\\30=5c\\Hence, c=\frac{30}{5}\\c=6\\As\ b\ also\ equals\ to\ 6,\\b=c

5) More heat will flow outside on a cold day because of:
Softa [21]

Hotter things have more heat energy than colder things. That's because the atoms or molecules move around faster in hot things (red, right) than they do in cold things (blue, left). This idea is called the kinetic theory.

light that is polarized along the vertical direction is incident on a sheet of polarizing material. only 87% of the intensity of
nekit [7.7K]

Polarized light waves are those that have only one plane of vibration. Polarization is the process by which non-polarized light is converted into polarised light. There are numerous ways to polarise light.

A characteristic of transverse waves called polarisation identifies the geometric angle of the oscillations. A transverse wave's oscillation direction is perpendicular to the wave's motion direction.

given

Only 72.0% of the light's intensity makes it through the sheet and hits another sheet of polarising material. The second sheet lets no light flow through it.

Given that no light passes through the second sheet because both sheets are crossed, the angle the transmission axis of the second sheet makes with the vertical is

θ₂ = θ₁ + 90°

   = 31.94° + 90°

   = 1 21.94°

for the first sheet and

Icos²θ₁ = I

I/I₀ = 0.72

θ₁ = cos⁻¹√(0.72)

    = 31.94°

for the second sheet, respectively. This is because the malus law states that I = Iocos²θ₁ for the first sheet.
