Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

Scientists follow specific processes in order to determine valid explanations and conclusions from observations. david observed strange lights in the sky above his home outside of roswell, new mexico. the only explanation that makes sense to him is that there are ufos in the area. what should david do next to verify his explanation?

In which situation is the acceleration of a car negative? question 5 options: a)the velocity of a car was 75 km/hr over 4 hours. b)the velocity of a car reduced from 50 km/hr over one minute. c)the velocity of a car increased from 40 km.h to 75 km/h over 15 minutes. d)the velocity of a car was 45 km/hr at 2: 00pm and at 4: 00pm its velocity was 85 km/ht.
