Using the mirror formula.

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

1/9.5 + 1/3.2 = 1/f

1/f = 3.2 + 9.5 / 9.5 * 3.2

1/f = 4.82 cm

Radius = 2f

Radius = 2 x 4.82

Radius = 9.64 cm

Answer:

Radius of curvature, R =  9.64 cm              

Explanation:

It is given that,

Object distance, u = -9.5 cm

Image distance, v = 3.2 cm

We have to find the radius of curvature of the mirror. The relationship between focal length and the radius of curvature as R = 2 f where f is the focal length of the mirror.

Using Mirror's formulas as :

\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

\dfrac{1}{3.2}+\dfrac{1}{-9.5}=\dfrac{1}{f}

f = 4.82 cm

And radius of curvature of the mirror becomes, R = 9.64 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 100 kg bag of sand has a weight on 100 N. When dropped its acceleration is what?
Lyrx [107]
100N describes the weight of the sandbag, while 100kg is the mass of the sandbag.

To calculate acceleration, divide your weight by the mass, thus the accleration is:

100N/100kg = 1(m/s^2)

Explain why a person who has runny nose is unable to detect smells clearly.
Orlov [11]
If you have a runny nose then the mucus will block the path that smell goes through. So if you are trying to smell a flower then you will have a hard time because the mucus is in the way, or blocking the entrance path. Hope this helps:)

A car travels on a straight, level road. (a) Starting from rest, the car is going 38 ft/s (26 mi/h) at the end of 4.0 s. What is
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

a)9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\ b) 12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}

Explanation:

A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.

a)

a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}-0}{4 s- 0}=9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\

b)

a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{76\frac{ft}{s}-38\frac{ft}{s}}{7 s- 4s}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}}{3s}=12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}
