in the image is my assignment. I just want to know if the boxed answer is correct, for problem 1, and whether or not the bolded answers for questions 2 and 3 are correct.
The sun is 150,000,000 kmkm from earth; its diameter is 1,400,000 kmkm. For a science project on solar power, a student uses a 24-cmcm-diameter converging mirror with a focal length of 51 cmcm to focus sunlight onto an object. This casts an image of the sun on the object. For the most intense heat, the image of the sun should be in focus.
What is the diameter of the image?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

This is the AP test from 2019 that I am using to study for my AP test from the college board. There are answers posted already from the college board and all of this information can be found with a quick google search of this question. Thank you and it was rejected previously before that because I submitted help for subpart D-F. But it got rejected because I was told it was a writing question. Question D is asking to indicate below which quantities should be graphed to yield a straight line whose slope could be used to calculate a numerical value for the mass-to-charge ratio of an electron. So it's not writing while questions E & F are graph questions. If graph questions are not allowed then I will submit it to writing but I think there may have been a mistake? If not then can you help me complete just subpart D?arrow_forwardSuppose a cannon, placed on a moving cart with negligible friction in the wheel bearings, projects a cannonball straight up in the air.
