What happens to light when it strikes the inside surface of a smooth, curved mirror? It bounces in random directions. It bounces

This is a concave mirror you're talking about, so all of the points are going to converge to a single focal point. Therefore the answer would be that it bounces back toward a single spot

Answer:

It bounces back towards a single spot.

Explanation:

When the light ray strikes to the inner surface of smooth, curved mirror (concave mirror), it bounces back at a single point and the point is called the focal point of the concave mirror.

When a ray of light parallel to principal axis strikes to the concave mirror, then after reflection it goes through the focus, i.e., at a single spot.

A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 147-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat,
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

v_1 = 1.17 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the girl (m₁)= 45 kg

mass of the plank(m₂) = 147 kg

constant velocity of girl relative to plank  = 1.53 m/s

velocity relative to ice berg(v₁) = ?

conservation of momentum

momentum of system = 0

m_1v_1 = m_2v_2

45 \times v_1 = 147 \times (1.53 - v_1)

45v_1 = 224.91 - 147 v_1

192 v_1 = 224.91

v_1 = \dfrac{224.91}{192}

v_1 = 1.17 m/s

hence, the velocity relative to ice berg is 1.17 m/s

What is the velocity of a wave with a length of 10 m and frequency of 5hz.
Sedbober [7]

The velocity of the wave is defined by the product of wavelength and frequency. The velocity of a wave with a length of 10 m and frequency of 5hz will be 50 m/sec.

<h3>What is the velocity of the wave?</h3>

The velocity of the wave is defined by the product of wavelength and frequency. It is obtained from the formula of the wavelength which is given by;

\rm \lambda=\frac{v}{f} \\\\ \rm v =  \lambda \times f \\\\ \rm v =  10  \times 5 \\\\ \rm v = 50\ m/sec

Hence the velocity of a wave with a length of 10 m and frequency of 5hz will be 50 m/sec.

Explain why the several different types of microscopes are all neccassary?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

  • The different types of microscopes are all necessary because not all experiments require the same level of magnification. ... All microscopes allow visualization of samples that are too small to be viewed by the naked eye.

What happens to the ball's velocity while the ball is traveling upwards?
Bess [88]
If the ball does not have a propeller or jet engine on it, then it is an object
in free fall.  That means its downward speed grows by 9.8 m/s for every
second that it's in the air. 

If it happens to be traveling upward at the moment, then that won't last long. 
Its upward speed is decreasing by 9.8 m/s every second.  It will eventually
run out of upward gas and start moving downward.  At that instant, you might
say that the direction of its velocity has changed by 180 degrees.
