Which is true about a concave mirror? Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are dispersed but will be perceived as
Reil [10]

Answer:

'Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are sent through a point on the near side of the mirror'.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, find the complete question in the comment section.

Concave mirrors is an example of a curved mirror. The outer surface of a concave mirror is always coated. On the concave mirror, we have what is called the central axis or principal axis which is a line cutting through the center of the mirror. The points located on this axis are the Pole, the principal focus and the centre of curvature. <em>The focus point is close to the curved  mirror than the centre of curvature.</em>

<em></em>

During the formation of images, one of the incident rays (rays striking the plane surface) coming from the object and parallel to the principal axis, converges at the focus point after reflection because all incident rays striking the surface are meant to reflect out. <em>All incident light striking the surface all converges at a point on the central axis known as the focus.</em>

Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that 'Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are sent through a point on the near side of the mirror'.

A circular disc of mass 20kg and radius 15cm is mounted in an horizontal cylindrical axle of radius
disa [49]

Using the concepts of energy, rotational Newton's second law and rotational kinematics we can find the kinematic energy of the system formed by the disk and the cylindrical axis

          KE = 0.23 J

given parameters

  • Disk radius R = 15 cm = 0.15 m
  • Cylinder radius r = 1.5 cm = 0.0015 m
  • Disk mass M = 20 kg
  • Time t = 1.2 s
  • Force F = 12 N

to find

  • Kinetic energy (KE)

This exercise must be solved in parts:

1st part. Endowment kinetic energy is the energy due to the circular motion of an object and is described by the equation

         KE = ½ I w²

Where KE is the kinetic energy, I the moment of inertia and w the angular velocity

The moment of inertia is a magnitude that measures the inertia for rotational movement, it is a scalar quantity, therefore it is additive. In this system it is composed of two bodies, the disk and the cylindrical axis, for which the total moment of inertia it is

         I_{ total} = I_{ disk} + I_{ cylinder}

the moments of inertia with respect to an axis passing through the center of mass are tabulated

disk          I_{disk} = ½ M R²

cylinder   I_{cylinder} = ½ m r²

where M and m are the masses of the disk and cylinder respectively, R and r their radii

         I_{total} = ½ (M R² + m r²) = ½ M R² ( 1 + \frac{m}{M} \ (\frac{r}{R})^2 )

         I_{total} = ½ M R² ( 1+ \frac{m}{20}  (\frac{0.015}{0.15} )^2 ) = \frac{1}{2} M R² (1 + 0.005 m)

As the shaft mass  is much lighter than the disk mass , the last term is very small, which is why we despise it.

         I_{total} = ½ M R²

2nd part. Let's use Newton's second law for endowment motion

        τ = I α

        α = \frac{\tau }{I_{total}}l

        τ = F R

        α = \frac{F \ R}{I_{total}}

With the rotational kinematics expressions, we assume that the system starts from rest (w₀ = 0)

        w = w₀ + α  t

where w is the angular velocity, alpha is the angular acceleration and t is the time

        w = 0 + \frac{\tau }{I_{total}} \ t

we substitute in the kinetic energy equation

        KE = ½ I_{total}  ( \frac{ \tau }{I_{total}} \ t )²

        KE = ½ \frac{ \tau^2 }{I_{total}} \ t^2

let's substitute

        KE = \frac{F^2 \ R^4}{M \ R^2 } \ t^2

        KE = F² R² t² / M

let's calculate

        KE = 12² 0.15² 1.2² / 20

        KE = 0.23 J

With the concepts of energy and rotational kinematics we can find the kinetic energy of the system is

       KE = 0.23 j

Doss [256]

Answer:

4.6×10^-7 m or 0.46nm

Explanation:

From

Wo= hc/λ

Where:

Wo= work function of the metal

h= planks constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength

λ= hc/Wo

λ= 6.6×10^-34 × 3×10^8/4.30×10^-19

λ= 4.6×10^-7 m
