What happens when a light ray passes through the focal point, and then reflects off of a convex mirror?

A.  

The reflected ray will run parallel to the center of curvature.

B.  

The reflected ray will run parallel to the principal axis.

C.  

The reflected ray will pass through the center of curvature.

D.  

The reflected ray will pass through a point between the center of curvature and the focal point.

E.  

The reflected ray will pass through a point between the focal point and the vertex.

Is it out of these choices?

Theoretically, the light ray will not change direction. The center of a lens is called the optical center. If the ray of light hits the lens even just a little bit off center, the light ray is refracted. Refraction happens when the incident and exit angles of the ray are different. The optical center is guaranteed to not have any difference in angle, which allows the light ray to pass through directly without changing direction.

A soccer player kicks a ball with a force of 900 newtons. The ball has a mass of 0.5 kilograms. At what rate will the ball accel
Volgvan

Answer:

1800 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

We know this because of Newton's first law, F=ma, which shows us that the force on an object is equal to its mass times the acceleration it recieves. This means that taking our values of 900N and 0.5kg, and plugging them in,

900N=(0.5kg)*(1800m/s^2)

This is honestly a little strange because the force applied and the acceleration seem ridiculous, and a little strange for an answer. Either the values are not meant to be nearly close to reality, or you made a typo.

How can you use distance and displacement to describe an object's motion​
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance can describe the total distance moved and displacement shows how far something has moved from its starting position (in a straight line from point a to point b) the object doesn't have to move in a straight line, but that is how displacement is measured

We can see Objects because of
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

I believe it's A.)

Explanation:

Although light comes into our atmosphere through refraction, it reaches our eyes only through reflection from objects. So when light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea you can then see that object.

Hope this helps you out : )
