What happens to light when it strikes the inside surface of a smooth, curved mirror?

When light strikes the inside surface of a smooth, curved mirror the light will bounce back toward a single spot. The reason it does this is because mirrors reflect light and other objects.

Hope this helps! Please make my answer the brainliest!

Answer:

A curved mirror is a cut out spherical glass which is coated with highly-lustrous metal at the back. There are two kinds of curved mirrors- convex mirror and concave mirror.  

When light strikes the inside of a smooth, curved mirror, it either converges the light towards focus or the light appears to diverge from the focus. Thus, the light reflects back from the surface and converges or appears to converge from a point called focus of the curved mirror.

What is the acceleration of a rock at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward. explain whether or not the answer i
zvonat [6]

The acceleration of the rock is the gravitational acceleration due to earth which is around 9.8 m/s^2. As the rock travels upwards it is working against the constant force of gravity and when it reaches the top it is the force of gravity that will cause a cause in the direction of the rocks velocity and cause it to accelerate towards earth. Using the equation a = F/m, the acceleration due to gravity exerts a force per unit mass on an object causing the object to accelerate, anything above earth surface will therefore have an external gravitational force action on it (in terms of projectile motion). So at the top of the rocks trajectory, the acceleration of the rock will be g (9.8) as a constant force is gravity is exerted on the rock throughout its path.

A current 2a flows in a circuit fir 2 minutes. Calculate the charge generated in a circuit​
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

the charge generated in the circuit​ is 240 C.

Explanation:

Given;

current flowing in the circuit, I = 2A

time of current flow, t = 2 minutes = 2 x 60s = 120 s

The current flowing through a given circuit is defined as the quantity of charge flowing through the circuit in a given time.

I = \frac{Q}{t} \\\\Q = I t

where;

Q is the charge flowing in the circuit

Q = 2 x 120

Q = 240 C

Therefore, the charge generated in the circuit​ is 240 C.

The distance covered by a car at a time, t is given by x = 20t + 6t4, calculate
Anni [7]

Answer:

(i) v = 44 m/s

(ii) a = 72 m/s^2

Explanation:

You have the following equation for the potion of a car:

x=20t+6t^4

(i) The instantaneous velocity is the derivative of x in time:

\frac{dx}{dt}=20+(6)(4)t^3=20+24t^3

for t = 1 is:

v(t=1)=\frac{dx}{dt}=20+24(1)^3=44m/s

(ii) The instantaneous acceleration is the derivative of the velocity:

\frac{dv}{dt}=24(3)t^2=72t^2

for t = 1

a(t=1)=\frac{dv}{dt}=72(1)^2=72m/s^2

Well formation of metallic bond depends on free electrons.smaal sized atoms hold their electrons more firmly as compared to large size atoms ,this z due to distance of outer shell electrons by nucleus..in this way no of free electrons affect strength of metallic bond..smaal sized atoms release less free electrons..
