A solar cooker, really a concave mirror pointed at the Sun, focuses the Sun's rays 13.8 cm in front of the mirror. Part A What i
1 answer:
From the concept of optics on a curvature of a spherical mirror, the proportion for which the focal length is equivalent to half the radius of curvature is fulfilled. Mathematically this is
Here,
f = Focal Length
R = Radius
Rearranging to find the radius we have,
Replacing with our values,
R = 2(13.8cm)
R = 27.6cm
Therefore the radius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made is 27.6cm

Answer:
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.
Explanation:
The power of an object is given by :
Here,
E is the energy required
t is time
The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.
Option (1) : A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.
Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.
Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.
Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.
Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.
Hence, the correct option is (d).
