1) Focal length

We can find the focal length of the mirror by using the mirror equation:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i} (1)
where 
f is the focal length
d_o is the distance of the object from the mirror
d_i is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this case, d_o = 18 cm, while d_i=-4 cm (the distance of the image should be taken as negative, because the image is to the right (behind) of the mirror, so it is virtual). If we use these data inside (1), we find the focal length of the mirror:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{18 cm}- \frac{1}{4 cm}=- \frac{7}{36 cm}
from which we find
f=- \frac{36}{7} cm=-5.1 cm

2) The mirror is convex: in fact, for the sign convention, a concave mirror has positive focal length while a convex mirror has negative focal length. In this case, the focal length is negative, so the mirror is convex.

3) The image is virtual, because it is behind the mirror and in fact we have taken its distance from the mirror as negative.

4) The radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length, so for the mirror in our problem the radius of curvature is:
r=2f=2 \cdot 5.1 cm=10.2 cm

(Briefly explain what would happen, if there is no existence of capacitor in our world?​
skelet666 [1.2K]

If there is no existence of capacitors in our world there would be no electrical or electronic engineering.

A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It has two terminals and is a passive electrical component. Capacitance refers to a capacitor's effect. A capacitor commonly referred to as a condenser is one of the fundamental parts needed to create electronic circuits. Without fundamental parts like resistors, inductors, diodes, transistors, etc., a circuit's design is incomplete or it won't work properly.

Energy storage is capacitors' most popular application. Power conditioning, signal coupling or decoupling, electronic noise filtering, and remote sensing are further applications. Capacitors are employed in a wide variety of industries and have integrated into daily life due to their numerous applications.

There are numerous significant uses for capacitors. They are employed in digital circuits, for instance, to prevent the loss of data saved in big computer memories during a brief loss of power. The electric energy held in such capacitors keeps the data from being lost during a brief power outage.

A kite suspended in the sky is flowing back and forth. Which type of friction is being described?
Mice21 [21]

The type of friction of a kite suspended in the sky that is flowing back and forth is fluid friction. The fluid here is the air that helps the kite move back and forth. The kite feels a drag force due to air which acts in the upward direction.
