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.

Answer and Explanation:

The answer is <u>D) Alpha and Gamma</u>

Gamma radiation does not cause transmutations.

A <u>transmutation</u> is the <u>conversion of an atom of one element to an atom of another. This generally occurs through nuclear reacting.</u>

There are three main types of radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Both beta and alpha decay cause changes to the mass and atomic numbers. This results in a transmutation. Gamma radiation, however, does not.

Gamma radiation is the result of a gamma ray. In essence, the nucleus emits a high-energy proton. This is very penetrating and can only be stopped by aluminum, lead, soil, water, and concrete. This type of radiation does not change the element and, therefore, does not cause a transmutation.

A fire engine must lift 30 kg of water a vertical distance of 20 m each second. What is the amount of power needed for the water
ivolga24 [154]
Power<span> is the rate of doing work. It is the amount of energy consumed per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalar quantity. We express it as follows:

P = W / t
          where W = Fd
                     F = mg

Therefore,

P = mgd / t
P = (30)(9.81)(20) / 1 = 5886 W</span>

In the oscillating spring ball system, where is the velocity of the ball the greatest?
nlexa [21]

The speed of an object in a mass-spring system is given under the function

v = \pm \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}(A^2-x^2)}

Here,

m = mass

k = Spring constant

A = Amplitude

x = Position

When the position is at the equilibrium point (x = 0), the speed will be maximum, and could even be expressed as

v_{max}= A\sqrt{\frac{x}{m}}

So the correct answer is B.

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.

8. A 60 kg runner has 1500 J of kinetic energy. How fast is he moving?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: 7.07 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of runner = 60 kg runner

Kinetic energy = 1500J

Speed of runner = ?

Recall that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on its mass and speed by which it moves.

Hence, K.E = 1/2 x mass x (speed)^2

1500J = 1/2 x 60kg x (speed)^2

1500J = 30kg x (speed)^2

(speed)^2 = 1500J/30kg

(speed)^2 = 50

To get the value of speed, find the square root of 50

speed = √50

speed = 7.07 m/s

Thus, the runner moves as fast as 7.07 m/s
