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 1.5 kg bird is gliding at a height of 12 m with a speed of 3.8m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the bird, to the nearest joul
Georgia [21]

A 1.5 kg bird is gliding at a height of 12 m with a speed of 3.8m/s. The kinetic energy of the bird is 10.83 joules.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as,The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that the object possesses due to its motion.

The Kinetic energy can be calculated by using formula,

Kinetic Energy: KE = 1/2 (mv 2)

Where, m = Mass, v = Velocity.

Here in this case the bird mass is 1.5kg and is gliding with velocity 3.8m/s

hence, KE= 1/2*(1.5)×(3.8)^2

                   =0.5×1.5×3.8×3.8

                   =10.83Joules

7. You start to walk toward the east towards home at a constant speed of 4 km/hr. At the same time, Someone else leaves your hom
amm1812

A) position time graph for both is shown

here one of the graph is of lesser slope which means it is moving with less speed while other have larger slope which shows larger speed

At one point they intersects which is the point where they both will meet

B) Let the two will meet after time "t"

now we can say that

if they both will meet after time "t"

then the total distance moved by you and other person will be same as the distance between you and home

so it is given as

v_1t + v_2t = d

4*t + 28*t = 3.2 km

t = \frac{3.2}{32} = 0.1 hr

so they will meet after t = 6 min

so from position time graph we can see that two will meet after t = 6 min where at this position two graphs will intersect
