Answer:

The temperature of the Earth depends on many factors, including the concentration of greenhouse gases such as water vapour, methane and carbon dioxide. The Earth's temperature also depends on the rates at which light radiation and infrared radiation are: absorbed by the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

When you look at yourself in a convex mirror, you appear to be ¼ your actual size. If you are standing 1.0 m in front of the mir
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The focal length is   f  =  -0.2 \  m

The radius of curvature is R = -0.4 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The magnification of the mirror is  m =  \frac{1}{2}

       The distance of the person from the mirror(the object distance ) is  u = - 1.0 \ m

        The negative sign shows that it is been placed in front of the mirror

         

Generally the magnification of the mirror is mathematically represented as

       m  =  \frac{v}{u}

=>   \frac{1}{4}  = \frac{v}{-u}

=>   v  =  \frac{- 1}{4}

Generally from the lens equation we have that

        \frac{1}{f}  = \frac{1}{u}  + \frac{1}{v}

=>     \frac{1}{f}  = \frac{1}{-1 }  + \frac{1}{-\frac{1}{4} }

=>     f  =  -0.2 \  m

Generally the radius of curvature is  mathematically represented as

         R = 2 *  f

=>      R = 2 *   - 0.2

=>      R = -0.4 \  m

A woman sits on a spinning piano stool with her arms extended. When she folds her arms, which of the following occurs? Question
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct option is that (She decreases her moment of inertia, thereby increasing her angular speed.)

Explanation:

When an object is in circular motion, the vector that describes it is known as angular momentum. Angular momentum is conserved or constant when an object is spinning in a closed system and no external torques are applied to it. An example of conservation of angular momentum is seen when a woman is sitting on a spinning piano stool with her arms extended. Her angular momentum is conserved because the net torque on her is negligibly small as the friction is exerted very close to the pivot point.

When she folds her arms,her rate of spin increases greatly decreasing her moment of inertia. The work she does to pull in her arms results in an increase in rotational kinetic energy( that is, increase in her angular speed). I hope this helps, thanks!
