Answer:C

Explanation:

Skier at the top of a ski has Potential Energy due to gravity.

Potential Energy is the Energy Possessed by an object when it attains a height concerning some zero level Position.

During the process of attaining the height, some work has to be done against gravity and this energy stored within the object after attaining some height w.r.t relative zero position.

How can inclined planes change the amount of force to move an object? A. Increase height of the inclined plane B. Increase dista
mash [69]

Answer:

Option ( B ) is correct .

Explanation:

To lift a heavy weight , inclined plane is used . Use of inclined plane , makes the task easier because instead of force mg , force mg sinθ is to be used which is less than mg . Here θ is inclination of inclined plane.

If h be the height by which weight is to be lifted

potential energy acquired by weight = mgh

work done by force mg sinθ = mgsinθ x d where d is displacement required .

mg sinθ x d = mgh  ( work done by force = potential energy stored in luggage )

d = h / sinθ

d will be more than h

Hence inclined plane increases the distance to be covered by force applied though it decreases the force itself.

Hence option ( B ) is correct .

Which best describes the surface of a concave mirror? It is flat. It is textured. It curves outward. It curves inward.
Sonja [21]

The concave mirror is a spherical-shaped mirror that has an inner curved surface. Hence, option (4) is correct.

What is a concave mirror?

The concave mirrors are spherical-shaped mirrors that are painted on the outward surface. It is also known as the converging mirror, having the recessed inner reflecting surface.

  • The concave mirrors are generally used for the purpose to focus the light. For that, they might have a reflecting surface, curved inwards, and the reflection of light is limited to the single focal point.
  • The reflecting surface of the concave mirror has its vertex or midpoint lying farther away from the objects than the edges.

Thus, we can conclude that the surface of the concave mirror is curved inward. Hence, option (4) is correct.
