Kobotan [32]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Opposite direction

Explanation:

For example: The first object travels in the direction pointing to east, while the other one travels pointing to the west.

The first object will have a positive value while the second one will have a negative, cause it's going to the opposite direction

The energy of a photon is proportional to its a) amplitude. d) wave number, k-2m/A c) velocity. b) frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Photons are the packet of energy. They are massless and chargeless particles. They travel in the vacuum with the speed of light. The energy of photon is given by :

E=h\nu

Where

h = Planck's constant

\nu = frequency of photon

Or E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of photon

From the above equation, it is clear that the energy of photon is directly proportional to its frequency.

Human beings are pulled off course as a result of the invisible forces of the <u>unconscious.</u>

According to Leverrier, he stated that an invisible planet was pulling the planet Uranus off its predicted course around the sun.

In such a way, human beings are pulled off course by the invisible forces of their unconscious minds. The unconscious minds of people control the thoughts of people.

A long distance runner sees the finish line and accelerates at a rate in 1.2 m/s2 for
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: he did travel 15 meters.

Explanation:

We have the data:

Acceleration = a = 1.2 m/s^2

Time lapes = 3 seconds

Initial speed = 3.2 m/s.

Then we start writing the acceleration:

a(t) = 1.2 m/s^2

now for the velocity, we integrate over time:

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + v0

with v0 = 3.2 m/s

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + 3.2 m/s

For the position, we integrate again.

p(t) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*t^2 + 3.2m/s*t + p0

Because we want to know the displacementin those 3 seconds ( p(3s) - p(0s)) we can use p0 = 0m

Then the displacement at t = 3s will be equal to p(3s).

p(3s) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*(3s)^2 + 3.2m/s*3s = 15m

Which statement is the best interpretation of the ray diagram shown below?
madreJ [45]

A) A concave mirror forming a larger, virtual image

Explanation:

The figure is missing; see attachment.

There are two types of mirror:

  • Concave (converging) mirrors: a concave mirror is a mirror that reflects the light inward
  • Convex (diverging) mirrors: a convex mirror is a mirror that reflects the light outward

The image formed by a mirror can also be of two types:

  • Real image: it is formed on the same side of the object, with respect to the mirror
  • Virtual image: it is formed on the opposite side of the object, with respect to the mirror

In the figure of this problem (see attachment), we see that:

- The mirror reflects the light from the object inward --> so it is a concave mirror

- The image is formed on the other side of the mirror --> it is a virtual image

So the correct option is

A) A concave mirror forming a larger, virtual image
