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.

You are tossing a ball directly up into the air. Before the ball leaves your hand, you are exerting a force directed against the

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

F n = 0.2 N

Explanation:

given,

you are exerting force of 10 N on the ball.

mass of the ball = 1 kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

normal force on the ball = ?

normal force is force exerted by the object to counteract the force from other object.

normal force acting on the ball will be

F n = F - mg

F n = 10 - 1 × 9.8

F n = 10 -9.8

F n = 0.2 N

Hence, normal force acting on the ball is equal to 0.2 N

A speeding motorist traveling with velocity Vm is spotted by a police car. The police car is initially at rest, but the instant

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Let us suppose police car and motorist travel in straight line and police car catches motorist after s distance

Distance travel by motorist

$s=v_mt$ ----1

Distance traveled by Police car

$s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}$

$s=0+\frac{a_pt^2}{2}$

$s=\frac{a_pt^2}{2}$ ----2

from 1 & 2 we get

$t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

(a)Velocity of Police car after t sec

$v=u+a_pt$

$v=0+a_p\times \frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

$v=2v_m$

(b)time taken by police car is

$t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

(c)Distance travel by police car $=\frac{2v_m^2}{a_p}$

Express the kinetic energy K in terms of the potential energy U.<br><br><br> K=GMm/2R

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

K = -½U

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;

U = -GMm/R

Where,

G is gravitational constant

M and m are the two masses exerting the forces

R is the distance between the two objects

Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;

K = GMm/2R

Re-rranging, we have;

K = ½(GMm/R)

Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;

K = -½U

Suppose we have a laser emitting a diffraction-limited beam (=632 nm) with a 2-mm diameter. How big a light spot from this lase

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

λ = wave length = 632 x 10⁻⁹

slit width a = 2 x 10⁻³ m

angular separation of central maxima

= 2 x λ /a

= 2 x 632 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 632 x 10⁻⁶ rad

width in m of light spot.

= 632 x 10⁻⁶ x 376000 km

= 237.632 km
