Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly

radiation

reflection

conduction

4

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?

64% Answer Correctly

concave mirror

convex lens

concave lens

convex mirror


Solution

Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.


5

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

transitional

kinetic

gravitational

potential


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
