1 answer:
The potential energy of the block is A) 490 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.
It is calculated as follows:
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height of the object above the ground
For the block in this problem, we have:
m = 10 kg
h = 5 m
Therefore, its potential energy is:

Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
where f is the focal length of the mirror,
the distance of the object from the mirror, and 
the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.
