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.

How many milliliters of water at 25.0°C with a density of 0.997 g/mL must be mixed with 162 mL of coffee at 94.6°C so that the r

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The volume of water is 139 mL.

Explanation:

Due to the Law of conservation of energy, the heat lost by coffee is equal to the heat gained by the water, that is, the sum of heats is equal to zero.

$Q_{coffee} + Q_{water} = 0\\Q_{coffee} = - Q_{water}$

The heat (Q) can be calculated using the following expression:

$Q=c \times m \times \Delta T$

where,

c is the specific heat of each substance

m is the mass of each substance

ΔT is the difference in temperature for each substance

The mass of coffee is:

$162mL.\frac{0.997g}{mL} = 162g$

Then,

$Q_{coffee} = - Q_{water}\\c_{c} \times m_{c} \times \Delta T_{c} = -c_{w} \times m_{w} \times \Delta T_{w}\\m_{c} \times \Delta T_{c} = -m_{w} \times \Delta T_{w}\\m_{w} = \frac{m_{c} \times \Delta T_{c}}{-\Delta T_{w}} \\m_{w}=\frac{162g \times (62.5 \°C - 94.6 \°C ) }{-(62.5 \°C - 25.0 \°C)} \\m_{w} = 139 g$

The volume of water is:

$139g.\frac{1mL}{0.997g} =139mL$

vesna_86 [32]

watts = work per second.

work is mgh = 3x10x50=1500

watts out = 1500

Watts used = 2000

eff=1500/2000=75%

A rocket is fired at 100 m/s at an angle of 37, what was its speed at the top of its path?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

0m/s

Explanation:

Since its fired at an angle, at the top there will be a split second where the velocity will be 0, as it has a parabolic shape, so the speed at the top of its path is 0
