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.

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Mars on a 80 kg human standing on the surface of Mars. (The ma

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

a) $F=1.044\times 10^9\ N$

b) $F'=1.044\times 10^9\ N$

c) $F_p=1.0672\times10^{-7}\ N$

d) Treat the humans as though they were points or uniform-density spheres.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of Mars, $M=6.4\times 10^{23}\ kg$

radius of the Mars, $r=3.4\times 10^{6}\ m$

mass of human, $m=80\ kg$

Gravitation force exerted by the Mars on the human body:

$F=G.\frac{M.m}{r^2}$

where:

$G=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\ m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}$ = gravitational constant

$F=6.67\times10^{-11}\times \frac{6.4\times 10^{23}\times 80}{(3.4\times 10^{6})^2}$

$F=1.044\times 10^9\ N$

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the human on Mars is equal to the force by the Mars on human.

$F'=F$

$F'=1.044\times 10^9\ N$

When a similar person of the same mass is standing at a distance of 4 meters:

$F_p=6.67\times10^{-11}\times \frac{80\times 80}{4}$

$F_p=1.0672\times10^{-7}\ N$

The gravitational constant is a universal value and it remains constant in the Universe and does not depends on the size of the mass.

Yes, we have to treat Mars as spherically symmetric so that its center of mass is at its geometric center.

Yes, we also have to ignore the effect of sun, but as asked in the question we have to calculate the gravitational force only due to one body on another specific body which does not brings sun into picture of the consideration.

Terry can ride 30 miles in 2 hours. If his riding speed is

Anni [7]

Answer: 20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles
