Why are collisions so important to physicists

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. The focus point is close to the curved mirror than the centre of curvature.

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. All incident light striking the surface all converges at a point on the central axis known as the focus.

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'.

When a potential difference of 10 V is placed across a certain solid cylindrical resistor, the current through it is 2 A. If the

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

New Resistance = 0.5556 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length /area

Here since resistivity and length are constant, we only need to see how the resistance increases or decreases with change in area.

New Area = pi * (3*D)^2 / 4

Old Area = pi * D^2 / 4

The ratio of new area / old area is :

$\frac{New Area}{Old Area} = 9$

Since area increases 9 times, and it is inversely proportional to resistance:

Resistance decreases by 9 times.

So, old resistance = Voltage / Current = 10 / 2 = 5 ohm

New Resistance = 5 / 9 = 0.5556 ohm (decreases by 9 times)

You're driving your new sports car at 80 mph over the top of a hill that has a radius of curvature of 540 m. What fraction of yo

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

75.84%

Explanation:

We were given Speed of the sports car, v as 80 mph , we can convert to m/s for unit consistency.

v=80mph= 35.76 m/s

The radius of curvature is given as , r = 540 m

✓ the normal weight can be denoted as Wn

✓ the apparent weight of the person can be denoted as Wa

Wn= normal weight= mg

Wa=apparent weight = (mg - mv^2/r)

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.8m/s^2

The apparent weightand normal weight has a ratio of

Mn/Ma= [mg - mv^2/r]/mg ........eqn(1)

If we simplify eqn(1) we have

Mn/Ma=[g - vr^2/g].............eqn(2)

Then substitute the given values

Mn/Ma=9.8 - [(35.76^2)/540]/ 9.8

=0.758×100%

Mn/Ma=75.84%

Hence, the required fraction is 75.84%
