Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
madam [21]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of gas or liquid particles. How does this happen? As a gas or liquid is heated, the substance expands. This is because the particles in liquids and gases gain kinetic energy when they are heated and start to move faster.

A powerful searchlight shines on a man. The man's cross-sectional area is 0.500m2 perpendicular to the light beam, and the inten
babymother [125]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵N

(b) the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.

Explanation:

Given;

cross-sectional area of the man, A = 0.500m²

intensity of light, I = 35.5kW/m²

If all the incident light were absorbed, the pressure of the incident light on the man can be calculated as follows;

P = I/c

where;

P is the pressure of the incident light

I is the intensity of the incident light

c is the speed of light

P = \frac{I}{c} =\frac{35500}{3*10^8} = 1.18*10^{-4} \ N/m^2

F = PA

where;

F is the force of the incident light on the man

P is the pressure of the incident light on the man

A is the cross-sectional area of the man

F = 1.18 x 10⁻⁴ x 0.5 = 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N

The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N

Therefore, the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.

An object is 15 cm in front of a diverging lens with a
Rainbow [258]

A) See ray diagram in attachment (-6.0 cm)

By looking at the ray diagram, we see that the image is located approximately at a distance of 6-7 cm from the lens. This can be confirmed by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}

where

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f = -10 cm is the focal length (negative for a diverging lens)

p = 15 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving for q,

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-10 cm}-\frac{1}{15 cm}=-0.167 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{-0.167 cm^{-1}}=-6.0 cm

B) The image is upright

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is upright. This is also confirmed by the magnification equation:

h_i = - h_o \frac{q}{p}

where h_i, h_o are the size of the image and of the object, respectively.

Since q < 0 and p > o, we have that h_i >0, which means that the image is upright.

C) The image is virtual

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is on the same side of the object with respect to the lens: so, it is virtual.

This is also confirmed by the sign of q in the lens equation: since q < 0, it means that the image is virtual
