A magnifying glass used to focus sunlight in an intense hot spot becomes a burning glass or solar collector. If the lens is made larger and/or if the focus is made more concentrated, the hot spot gets hotter. Could a lens be made bigger and bigger or could its focus be made more and more concentrated so that its hot spot would be hotter than the sun itself

Matt is driving down 7th street. he drives 150 meters in 18 seconds. assuming he does not speed up or slow down, what is his speed?

Asteam power plant operates on an ideal reheat rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 15 mpa and 10 kpa. the mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 12 kg/s. steam enters both stages of the turbine at 500°c. if the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 10 percent, determine (a) the pressure at which reheating takes place, (b) the total rate of heat input in the boiler, and (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. also, show the cycle on a t-s diagram with respect to the saturation lines. (2.15 mpa; 45.0 mw; 42.6%)

The speed of light can be used to measure the
