Convex mirrors can only produce virtual images because the focal point and the center of curvature of the convex mirror are imaginary points and that cannot be reached.

<h3>What is virtual image?</h3>

This is referred to the opposite of a real image and cannot be obtained on a screen. It is formed from the  apparent divergent of light rays from a point  and not the actual one which is the major difference it has with a real image.

It is usually produced by a convex mirror because the focal point and the center of curvature of the convex mirror are imaginary points which can't be reached.

When hydrogen peroxide antiseptic is tightly capped and left on the shelf for a long period of time, the bottle is observed to s
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The hydrogen peroxide decomposes as: H_2O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O+O_2

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide antiseptic although tightly capped but left on the shelf for a long time leads to swollen bottle and opens with a hissing sound because hydrogen peroxide reacts with air in presence of light to dissociate into water and oxygen molecules that leads to high volume of content in the tightly closed bottle and formation of water molecules from hydrogen peroxide.

Once the hydrogen peroxide has turned into water molecules it is no longer effective as an antiseptic.

In the diagram below, a 5 kg box is pushed from rest by an applied force of 15N for 22 seconds. What was the impulse caused by t
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

330Ns

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the box  = 5kg

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Force applied  = 15N

Time  = 22s

Unknown:

Impulse  = ?

Final momentum  = ?

Solution:

The impulse of the box can be determined using the expression below:

     Impulse  = Force x time

    Impulse  = 15 x 22 = 330Ns

The final momentum is the same as this impulse

The impulse and the final momentum is 330Ns

A 1000-kg car is slowly picking up speed as it goes around a horizontal curve whose radius is 100 m. The coefficient of static f
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

18.5 m/s

Explanation:

On a horizontal curve, the frictional force provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion:

\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

\mu is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

m is the mass of the car

g is the gravitational acceleration

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

Re-arranging the equation,

v=\sqrt{\mu gr}

And by substituting the data of the problem, we find the speed at which the car begins to skid:

v=\sqrt{(0.350)(9.8 m/s^2)(100 m)}=18.5 m/s

Explain why atmospheric pressure changes as atmospheric depth changes
Pavel [41]

The force of the collisions creates pressure on the container. ... Explain why atmospheric pressure changes as depth changes. Atmospheric pressure increases as depth increases because at lower levels of the atmosphere, there is more air above that is being pulled down by gravitational force.
