Out of that list, the concave mirror is the only item that can concentrate sunlight and heat into a small area. But if you could get ahold of a convex lens, that would be even better.

Answer: Concave mirror would be best to use.

Explanation :

To focus sunlight to ignite a pile of twigs for a campfire, a concave mirror should be used.

When the rays of light coming from infinity parallel to principal axis in front of a concave mirror, all the rays get concentrated at the focus of the mirror. That's why the concave mirror is also known as converging.

In this case, a concave mirror should be used so as to converge all the rays at a point.

So, the correct option is (b).

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.0510 Ω and is supplied by a 12.0 V battery with a 0.0090 Ω interna
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

a) 200A

b) 10.2V

c) 2.04kW

d)

I=80A

V=4.08V

P=0.326kW

Explanation:

Here we have a circuit of one power source and two resistors in series, the first question is asking for the current, so according to Ohm's Law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

Where R is the equivalent resistance of the resistors in series

R=0.0510+0.0090=0.0600[ohm]

I=\frac{12.0}{0.0600}=200A

To calculate the voltage dropped by the motor we have to apply the voltage divider rule:

V_m=V*\frac{R_m}{R_m+R_s}\\V_m=12.0*\frac{0.0510}{0.0600}\\V_m=10.2V

The power dissipated supplied to the motor is given by:

P=I^2*R_m\\P=(200)^2*0.0510=2.04kW

now solving adding a 0.0900 ohm resistor:

I=\frac{12.0}{0.15}=80A

V_m=12.0*\frac{0.0510}{0.15}\\V_m=4.08V

P=I^2*R_m\\P=(200)^2*0.0510=0.326kW

If a non-rotating object has no acceleration, then we can say for certain that it is:__________
EleoNora [17]

We may be positive that an object is in mechanical equilibrium if it is not rotating and experiences no acceleration.

<h3>What is mechanical equilibrium?</h3>

There are numerous other definitions for mechanical equilibrium that are all mathematically comparable in addition to the definition in terms of force. A system is in equilibrium in terms of momentum if the component motions are all constant. If velocity is constant, the system is in equilibrium in terms of velocity. When an item is in a state of rotational mechanical equilibrium, its angular momentum is preserved and its net torque is zero. More generally, equilibrium is reached in conservative systems at a configuration space location where the gradient of the potential energy concerning the generalized coordinates is zero.

A 5.0 kg object moving at 5.0 m/s. KE = mv2 times 1/2
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: KE = 62.5J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of object = 5kg

kinetic energy KE = ?

velocity of object = 5m/s

Since kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves. Therefore, the object has kinetic energy.

i.e K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2 x 5kg x (5m/s)^2

KE = 0.5 x 5 x 25

KE = 62.5J

Thus, the object has 62.5 joules of kinetic energy.

Here, mA = 3.65 kg and mB = 7.05 kg. The string connecting the two objects is of negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The magintude of the acceleration for both objects is 3.11m/s^2

Explanation:

Drawing a free body diagram on the two boxes we can analyze the system more easily.

we can take the acceleration going up as positive for reference purposes.

for mA let's suppose that is ascending so:

T_A-m_A*g=m_A*a

and for mB (descending):

T_B-m_B*g=-m_B*a

T_A=T_B

because the two boxes has the same acceleration because they are attached together:

m_B*g-m_B*a-m_a*g=m_a*a\\(m_B-m_A)*g=(m_a+m_B)*a\\a=\frac{(7.05kg-3.65kg)*9.8m/s^2}{3.65kg+7.05kg}\\\\a=3.11m/s^2

So the magintude of the acceleration for both objects is 3.11m/s^2
