Answer:
the focal length of the mirror is :
Explanation:
Use the formula for the formation of image using a divergent mirror and recalling that the image (s') that this mirror formed is virtual, so it is entered as a negative number in the formula. Use the object position (s) as 10, the image position (s') as -2, and derive the value of the focal length:
Answer:
Explanation:
The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula
where
G is the gravitational constant
m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite
is the Earth's mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:
So the initial total energy is
When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so
so its gravitational potential energy is
And since it hits the ground with speed
it also has kinetic energy:
So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is
So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:
