<h2>Answers:</h2>

A concave mirror, or convergent mirror, has a reflective surface that is curved inwards.

This type of mirrors reflect the light making it converge in a focal point therefore they are used to focus the light. This occurs because the light is reflected with different angles, since the normal to the surface varies from one point to another of the mirror.

Nevertheless, it is important to note the object must be within the radius of curvature of the lens or mirror.

In addition, it is important to state clear the following:

-If the object is at a distance <u>greater than the focal distance</u>, a <u>real and inverted image</u> is formed that may be greater or less than the object.

-If the object is at a distance <u>smaller than the focal distance</u>, a <u>virtual upright image</u> is formed that is larger than the object.

Having this clear, let’s begin with the answers:

 

<h2>a) Image distance when the object distance is 12.60 cm</h2>

The Mirror equation is:  

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}   (1)  

Where:  

f=12.60cm is the focal distance  

u=12.60cm is the distance between the object and the mirror  

v is the distance between the image and the mirror

Finding v from (1):

v=\frac{u.f}{u-f}   (2)  

v=\frac{(12.60cm)(12.60cm)}{12.60cm-12.60cm}  

v=\frac{158.76cm^{2}}{0}>>>>The division by zero is not defined!

This is mathematically known as an <u>indetermination</u>, however, let's think a little bit:

If we divide something really big between something really small (tending to zero), the result will tend to infinite (\infty).

This means:

When the object is placed just at the focal distance,<u> </u><u>the image is formed in the infinity</u>, well in fact the image does not exist.

The answer is −1000cm

<h2>b) Image distance when the object distance is 6.30 cm</h2><h2 />

We will use the Mirror equation again:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}   (1)  

Where:  

f=12.60cm is the focal distance  

u=6.30cm is the distance between the object and the mirror  

v is the distance between the image and the mirror

Finding v from (1):

v=\frac{u.f}{u-f}   (2)  

v=\frac{(6.30cm)(12.60cm)}{6.30cm-12.60cm}  

v=-12.6cm  (3) >>>distance of the image

<h2>The negative sign indicates the distance between the image and the mirror is virtual  </h2><h2 /><h2 /><h2>c) magnification of the image for part (b)</h2>

The magnification m of the image is given by:  

m=-\frac{v}{u} (4)  

m=-\frac{(-12.6cm)}{6.3cm}  

m=2 (5)

The fact that this value is positive means the image is <u>upright  </u>

<h2>d) Description of the image</h2>

According to the explanations and results obtained in the prior answers, the correct option is 3:

<h2>The image is <u>virtual, upright, larger</u> than the object.</h2>

Answer:

B) 2.7 g of aluminium has a volume of 1 cm^3

Explanation:

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the equation;

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

If the density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm³, it simply means that 2.7 g of aluminium has a volume of 1 cm³

Check:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2.7 grams

Volume = 1 cm³

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Density = \frac{2.7}{1}

Density = 2.7 g/cm³

What is the mass of a stone moving at a speed of 15 m/s and having a monument at 7.1 kg meters per second
adell [148]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.47 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object given it's momentum and velocity can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{p}{v}  \\

where

p is the momentum

v is the velocity

We have

m =  \frac{7.1}{15}  \\  = 0.4733333...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.47 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

Setler [38]
When sphere A and B are brought in contact and separated, charge on each sphere becomes [2x10^-6 + (-4x10^-6)]/ 2 = -1x10^-6 C.

That is, charge is equally separated and is the average of charges on both spheres. The reason behind equal charge on both spheres after separation is, when they are kept in contact, their potential difference becomes same.
