<u>Answer:</u> The mirror that causes light to spread out is convex mirror

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 2 types of spherical mirror:

Convex mirror is defined as the mirror which diverges the light falling on it. It is considered as a diverging mirror. They spread out the light falling on it.
Concave mirror is defined as the mirror which converges the light falling on it. It is considered as a converging mirror. They spread in the light falling on it.

Plane mirror is defined as the plane reflecting mirror. The image produced by it is virtual, upright and of the same size and shape as that of the object.

Hence, the mirror that causes light to spread out is convex mirror

A 0.30-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 22.6 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

(a) vmax = 0.34m/s

(b) v = 0.13m/s

(d) x = 0.039m

Explanation:

Given information about the spring-mass system:

m: mass of the object = 0.30kg

k: spring constant = 22.6 N/m

A: amplitude of the motion = 4.0cm = 0.04m

(a) The maximum speed of the object is given by the following formula:

$v_{max}=\omega A$ (1)

w: angular frequency of the motion.

The angular frequency is calculated with the following relation:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ (2)

You replace the expression (2) into the equation (1) and replace the values of the parameters:

$v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}A=\sqrt{\frac{22.6N/m}{0.30kg}}(0.04m)=0.34\frac{m}{s}$

The maximum speed of the object is 0.34 m/s

(b) If the object is compressed 1.5cm the amplitude of its motion is A = 0.015m, and the maximum speed is:

$v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{22.6N/m}{0.30kg}}(0.015m)=0.13\frac{m}{s}$

The speed is 0.13m/s

(c) To find the speed of the object when it passes the point x=1.5cm, you first take into account the equation of motion:

$x=Acos(\omega t)$

You solve the previous equation for t:

$t=\frac{1}{\omega}cos^{-1}(\frac{x}{A})\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{22.6N/m}{0.30kg}}=8.67\frac{rad}{s}\\\\t=\frac{1}{8.67}cos^{-1}(\frac{1.5cm}{4.0cm})=0.13s$

With this value of t, you can calculate the speed of the object with the following formula:

$v=\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\v=(8.67rad/s)(0.04m)sin((8.67rad/s)(0.13s))=0.31\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the object for x = 1.5cm is v = 0.31 m/s

(d) To calculate the values of x on which v is one-half the maximum speed, you first calculate the time t:

$\frac{v_{max}}{2}=\omega A sin(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}sin^{-1}(\frac{v_{max}}{2\omega A})\\\\t=\frac{1}{8.67rad/s}sin^{-1}(\frac{0.13m/s}{2(8.67rad/s)(0.04m)})=0.021s$

The position will be:

$x=Acos(\omega t)=0.04mcos((8.67rad/s)(0.021s))=0.039m$

The position of the object on which its speed is one-half its maximum velocity is 0.039

Why do fundamental needs form the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

After we satisfy our basic needs, they no longer serve as motivators and we can begin to satisfy higher-order needs. Maslow organized human needs into a pyramid that includes (from lowest-level to highest-level) physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs.
