Why is hotter at the same distance over the top of a fire than in front of it ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At a point infront of fire, heat is received due to the process of radiation only while at a point above the fire heat reaches both due to radiation & convection . Hence the result .

Statement 1 : A bullet is fired and it hits a target. An observer in the same plane heard two sounds: the crack of the rifle and the thud of the bullet striking the target at the same instant. Then the locus of the observer is a hyperbola where the velocity of sound is smaller than the velocity of the bullet. Statement 2 : If the difference of distances of a point P from two fixed points is constant and less than the distance between the fixed points, then the locus of P is a hyperbola.
