You want to build a search light. The search light is to have an outgoing parallel beam. You have a small, very bright light (a

point light source) and a concave mirror with radius of curvature 2m. How far from the mirror should the point light source be placed so the mirror produces an outgoing parallel beam

Answer:

1 m                              

Explanation:

Given

The mirror is a concave mirror.

Radius of curvature = 2 m

Now, for a parallel beam after reflection  occurs, the object should be placed at the focus of the mirror.

We know, focal length = radius of curvature / 2

                                      = 2 / 2

                                      = 1

Thus the focal length is 1 m.

Hence the object should be placed at 1 m from the concave mirror for parallel beam reflection.

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inside pressure P_{in}= 1.90\times10^{5}\ Pa

Area A=3.90\times10^{-4}\ m^2

Outside pressure = 1 atm

We need to calculate the magnitude of the force

Using formula of force

F_{net}=F_{in}-F_{out}

F_{net}=(P_{in}-P_{out})A

Where, P_{in} =inside Pressure

P_{out} =outside Pressure

A = area

Put the value into the formula

F_{net}=(1.90\times10^{5}-1.013\times10^{5})3.90\times10^{-4}

F_{net}=34.59\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

We have discovered some exoplanets that are still forming from a nebula. How might those planets change over time?
Rudik [331]
Based on several theories made by scientists, planets are formed because of the accumulation of gases and other particles that are attracted to each other. These accumulated gases form into clumps and eventually the clumps get bigger and turn into a big orbital mass. The exoplanets may experience change over time through the observance of its orbit in a particular axis, and if there are other debris that might affect the planet's continuous growth.

block with of mass m is at rest on horizontal frictionless surface at time t=0. A force given by F=Bt+C is applied horizontally
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

v_{2} =\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

From the second law of Newton movement laws, we have:

F=m*a, and we know that a is the acceleration, which definition is:

a=\frac{dv}{dt}, so:

F=m*\frac{dv}{dt}\\\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}(t+1)}{4}=\frac{t+1}{8}

The next step is separate variables and integrate (the limits are at this way because at t=0 the block was at rest (v=0):

dv=\frac{1}{8}(t+1)dt\\\int\limits^{v_{2}}_0 \, dv=\int\limits^{2}_{0} {\frac{1}{8}(t+1)} \, dt

v_{2}=\frac{1}{8}*(\frac{t^{2}}{2}+t) (This is the indefinite integral), the definite one is:

v_{2}=\frac{1}{8}*(2+2)=\frac{1}{2}

Moving company uses a machine to raise a 900 Newton refrigerator to the second floor of a building machine consists of a single
Juliette [100K]
Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the output force over the input force or M=Fo/Fi. Since M=1, Fi=Fo, or the input force is equal to the output force. This means that to raise the refrigerator that weighs 900 N, we need the same input force of 900 N, or Fo=Fi=900 N.
