Answer:

B. because they cannot make light rays converge

Explanation:

When parallel beam of light incident of the plane mirror or convex mirror then light rays are reflected by the surface of mirror in such a way that it will not meet at any point of after the reflection.

So here the converging point of light rays are virtual point and hence we will say that its focal length is virtual focal length.

So here correct answer would be

B. because they cannot make light rays converge

A rod bent into the arc of a circle subtends an angle 2θ at the center P of the circle (see below). If the rod is charged unifor
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Qsinθ/4πε₀R²θ

Explanation:

Let us have a small charge element dq which produces an electric field E. There is also a symmetric field at P due to a symmetric charge dq at P. Their vertical electric field components cancel out leaving the horizontal component dE' = dEcosθ = dqcosθ/4πε₀R² where r is the radius of the arc.

Now, let λ be the charge per unit length on the arc. then, the small charge element dq = λds where ds is the small arc length. Also ds = Rθ.

So dq = λRdθ.

Substituting dq into dE', we have

dE' = dqcosθ/4πε₀R²

= λRdθcosθ/4πε₀R²

= λdθcosθ/4πε₀R

E' = ∫dE' = ∫λRdθcosθ/4πε₀R² = (λ/4πε₀R)∫cosθdθ from -θ to θ

E' = (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ] from -θ to θ

E' = (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ]

= (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ - sin(-θ)]

= (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ + sinθ]

= 2(λ/4πε₀R)sinθ

= (λ/2πε₀R)sinθ

Now, the total charge Q = ∫dq = ∫λRdθ from -θ to +θ

Q = λR∫dθ = λR[θ - (-θ)] = λR[θ + θ] = 2λRθ

Q = 2λRθ

λ = Q/2Rθ

Substituting λ into E', we have

E' = (Q/2Rθ/2πε₀R)sinθ

E' = (Q/θ4πε₀R²)sinθ

E' = Qsinθ/4πε₀R²θ where θ is in radians

Consider three drinking glasses. All three have thesame area base, and all three are filled to the same depth withwater. Glass A
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.  All three have equal non-zero pressure

Explanation:

Pressure is the relationship between the force and the area of ​​a body, when the bodies are liquid the formula that

         P = rho g h

Where rho is the density and h the height of the liquid

We see that for this expression the pressure does not depend on the shape of the container, but on its height, as the three vessels have the same height, the pressure at the bottom is the same.

The correct answer is C   All three have equal non-zero pressure

Study the scenario.
Otrada [13]

If no other forces act on the object, according to Newton’s first law, the spacecraft will continue moving at a constant velocity, assuming that a planet or something with large mass doesn’t cross its path. Forces are not required to continue the motion of an object on a frictionless plane at a constant rate.

A violin string is 45.0 cm long and has a mass of 0.242 g. When tightened on the neck of the violin, the distance between the pi
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The tension is 75.22 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave on a rope is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}} (1)

With T the tension, L the length of the string and M its mass.

Another more general expression for the velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) of the wave:

v= \lambda f (2)

We can equate expression (1) and (2):

\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}=\lambda f

Solving for T

T= \frac{M(\lambda f)^2}{L} (3)

For this expression we already know M, f, and L. And indirectly we already know λ too. On a string fixed at its extremes we have standing waves ant the equation of the wavelength in function the number of the harmonic N_{harmonic} is:

\lambda_{harmonic}=\frac{2l}{N_{harmonic}}

It's is important to note that in our case L the length of the string is different from l the distance between the pin and fret to produce a Concert A, so for the first harmonic:

\lambda_{1}=\frac{2(0.425m)}{1}=0.85 m

We can now find T on (3) using all the values we have:

T= \frac{2.42\times10^{-3}(0.85* 440)^2}{0.45}

T=75.22 N
