A minimum temperature thermometer in a standard weather instrument shelter measures an overnight low temperature of 36 degrees F

Answer:

Explanation:

Even though the minimum temperature is more than the freezing point, Frost was observed on the ground because the ground will cool rapidly as cool air tends to move towards the ground, the temperature of the ground is lower than the atmosphere a few feet above it.

As the thermometer is kept some feet above the ground so ground temperature may be lower than the minimum recorded temperature.

A lens of focal length 15.0 cm is held 10.0 cm from a page (the object ). Find the magnification .
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Magnification, m = 3

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the lens, f = 15 cm

Object distance, u = -10 cm

Lens formula :

\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

v is image distance

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{(-10)}\\\\v=-30\ cm

Magnification,

m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{-30}{10}\\\\m=3

So, the magnification of the lens is 3.

An electron at Earth's surface experiences a gravitational force meg. How far away can a proton be and still produce the same fo
kondaur [170]
I will discuss what is a gravitational force since no figures are attached or given. An objects weight is dependent upon its location in the universe because they exhibit gravitational waves. For example, the earth is a massive planet. Because of its massiveness, it exhibits a strong gravitational force within it. In turn, the objects near the earth will be attracted to it and thereby feels a much stronger gravity on earth. That is why bodies of water, despite its liquid features, stick to the earth. The heavier the body is, the stronger its gravitational pull. Another example is the Milky Way Galaxy, there is a gravitational pull because it is to other galaxies. Also, other galaxies are heavier than the earth and therefore, it is attracted to the Milky Way galaxy because of its gravitational pull.

A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier pers
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.

It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x

where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.

When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.

Write difference between upstroke and downstroke of water pump
lakkis [162]

Explanation:

Upstroke is a mechanism which helps to raise the plunger and downstroke helps to help lower the plunger. On the up-stroke of the plunger, the lower valve opens and the upper valve is closed. ... Whereas, on the downstroke, the lower valve closes and the upper one opens.
