Answer:

1) In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it converges at F and 2F.

Explanation:

Spherical mirrors can be used for magnification of images. There are basically two types of spherical mirrors and they are converging mirror and diverging mirrors. The converging mirrors are also termed as concave mirrors and its basic work is to converge or combine light rays coming from a larger distance to a single point. Mostly the light beams falling parallel to the principle axis of the concave mirror will be acting as parallel rays. And when these parallel rays fall on the mirror, the converging point can be the focal point of the mirror.

Thus the location of converging point in concave mirrors will be based on the position or distance of object from the mirror. If the object distance is very far from the twice the focal length distance of mirror, then the converging point will be the focal point or F. And if the object is placed slightly greater than twice the distance of focal point, then the image will be obtained at 2F. But the parallel beams will be converging at F and 2F.

Different ____ of light through two separate mediums causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.

Fittoniya [83]

Different speeds of light through two separate media ... and the difference in wavelength caused by the difference ... causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.

AFTER the bend, since the light rays then travel in a different direction, we may also say that the 'velocity' has changed.

He formula p=m x v to answer th<br>2,000 kg car moving at 30 m/s

aivan3 [116]

The momentum of the car is 60,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is a vector quantity, whose magnitude is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the car in this problem, we have

m = 2,000 kg

v = 30 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of its momentum is

$p=(2000)(30)=60,000 kg m/s$

A 1500 kg truck travelling north at 60 km/hr collides with a 1200 kg car moving east at 15km/hr. If the two cars remain locked t

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

33.33j+6.67i km/hr

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Applying,

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')............... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the truck, m' = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the truck, u' = initial velocity of the car, V = Final velocity.

Note: let j represent the north, and i represent the east

From the question,

Given: m = 1500 kg, u = 60j, m' = 1200 kg, u' = 15i

Substitute these values into equation 1

1500*60j+1200*15i = V(1500+1200)

90000j+18000i = 2700V

V = (90000j+18000i)/2700

V = 33.33j+6.67i km/hr

Olin [163]

The correct answer is Destructive Interference.

Consider the image attached below. Two waves are travelling towards each other. Blue wave always has a positive peak and the red wave always has a negative peak.

Now imagine these waves are moving through a rope. If blue waves will try to move the rope in positive direction, the red wave will pull it down, and thus the two waves will cancel the effect of each other. Thus resulting in a destructive interference.
