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.

two students are on a balcony 19.6 m above the street. one student throws a ball vertically downward at 14.7 m:ds. at the same i

NARA [144]

A. The difference in the two ball's time in the air is 3 seconds

B. The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

C. The balls 0.500 s after they are thrown are 14.7 m apart

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

Initial Height = H = 19.6 m

Initial Velocity = u = 14.7 m/s

<u>Unknown:</u>

A. Δt = ?

B. v = ?

C. Δh = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h2>Question A:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - 4.9t^2$

$4.9t^2 + 14.7t - 19.6 = 0$

$t^2 + 3t - 4 = 0$

$(t + 4)(t - 1) = 0$

$(t - 1) = 0$

$\boxed {t = 1 ~ second}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - 4.9t^2$

$4.9t^2 - 14.7t - 19.6 = 0$

$t^2 - 3t - 4 = 0$

$(t - 4)(t + 1) = 0$

$(t - 4) = 0$

$\boxed {t = 4 ~ seconds}$

The difference in the two ball's time in the air is:

$\Delta t = 4 ~ seconds - 1 ~ second$

$\large {\boxed {\Delta t = 3 ~ seconds} }$

<h2>Question B:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gH$

$v^2 = (-14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)$

$v^2 = 600.25$

$v = \sqrt {600.25}$

$\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gH$

$v^2 = (14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)$

$v^2 = 600.25$

$v = \sqrt {600.25}$

$\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}$

The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

<h2>Question C:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 19.6 - 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2$

$\boxed {h = 11.025 ~ m}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 19.6 + 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2$

$\boxed {h = 25.725 ~ m}$

The difference in the two ball's height after 0.500 s is:

$\Delta h = 25.725 ~ m - 11.025 ~ m$

$\large {\boxed {\Delta h = 14.7 ~ m} }$

What is the difference in electrical potential energy between two places in an electric field?

Ierofanga [76]

The question is poorly worded, and makes it harder for the student to learn the basics of the subject. "Potential Difference" is the difference in electrical potential between two places in an electric field ... not in electrical potential energy.

220V and 5A is supplied to the primary coil. The turns ratio is 500. What is the power on the secondary coil?

alisha [4.7K]

Answer: 1100 W

Explanation:

Input power = 220(5) = 1100 W

The transformer will step up/down voltage, but will also step down/up current.

Neglecting hysteresis and other minor losses, the power will remain the same.

What happens to speed when wavelength decreases

Phantasy [73]

Speed = wavelength × frequency

giving that frequency is 0, wavelength and speed are directionally proportional. wavelength decrease = speed decrease
