D, because you increase air resistance by spreading your arms out and “lying” flat

The reading on the scale is the tension on the string that connects the two objecst. In order to support the blocks it must pull the weights by a force magnitude of W. So, the tension of the rope is W. Therefore, the reading on the scale is W, D.

An object is placed 18 cm in front of spherical mirror.if the image is formed at 4cm to the right of the mirror, calculate it's
ivolga24 [154]
1) Focal length

We can find the focal length of the mirror by using the mirror equation:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i} (1)
where 
f is the focal length
d_o is the distance of the object from the mirror
d_i is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this case, d_o = 18 cm, while d_i=-4 cm (the distance of the image should be taken as negative, because the image is to the right (behind) of the mirror, so it is virtual). If we use these data inside (1), we find the focal length of the mirror:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{18 cm}- \frac{1}{4 cm}=- \frac{7}{36 cm}
from which we find
f=- \frac{36}{7} cm=-5.1 cm

2) The mirror is convex: in fact, for the sign convention, a concave mirror has positive focal length while a convex mirror has negative focal length. In this case, the focal length is negative, so the mirror is convex.

3) The image is virtual, because it is behind the mirror and in fact we have taken its distance from the mirror as negative.

4) The radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length, so for the mirror in our problem the radius of curvature is:
r=2f=2 \cdot 5.1 cm=10.2 cm

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Part a)

E = 3.66 eV

Part b)

\lambda = 508.5 nm

Explanation:

Part a)

change in the energy due to decay of photon is given as

E = h\nu

here we know that

\nu = 8.88 \times 10^{14} Hz

now we have

E = (6.6 \times 10^{-34})(8.88 \times 10^{14})

E = 5.86 \times 10^{-19} J

E = 3.66 eV

Part b)

While electron return to its ground state it will emit a photon of energy 2/3rd of the total energy

so we have

\Delta E = \frac{2}{3}(3.66 eV)

\Delta E = 2.44 eV

now to find the wavelength we have

\Delta E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

2.44 = \frac{1242}{\lambda}

\lambda = 508.5 nm

Write a hypothesis about the effect of the fan speed on the acceleration of the cart. Use the "if . . . then . . . because . . .
iragen [17]
As an object accelerates i.e., change it's velocity(either direction or speed), the position of the object depends on two factor; If the acceleration was direction based then it might have a zero displacement for eg: if it travels in circle. or it might have a net displacement if it travels in a straight line, quantitatively
s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} at {}^{2}
where,
s = displacement
u = initial velocity
v = final velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Now, for the hypothesis;
There is no direct relationship between fan speed and acceleration but anyways generally speaking if we do have a relationship that with more fan speed we have a larger displacement of air i.e., a more force i.e., greater acceleration
Thus, it can be said, well not exactly scientific, that with a greater fan speed there will be greater acceleration. if fan speed is increased then acceleration will be more.
