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

back toward a single spot. It passes through the mirror and moves in random directions. It passes through the mirror and moves in a straight line.

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.

It was a children versus grown-ups competition at school. One event required the adult to throw a basketball as far as he could.
aleksklad [387]
Based on Newton's Law, the event is not fair because:

<span>No, because a basketball is bigger than a baseball, and objects that are bigger accelerate slower.

A 52 kg and a 95 kg skydiver jump from an airplane at an altitude of 4750 m, both falling in the pike position. Assume all value
Scilla [17]

Answer: 52 kg skydiver: 9.09 m/s and 522.55 s

              95 kg skydiver: 12.3 m/s and 386.2 s

Explanation: <u>Drag</u> <u>Force</u> is an opposite force when an object is moving in a fluid.

For skydivers, when falling through the air, the forces acting on it are gravitational and drag forces. At a certain point, drag force equals gravitational force, which is constant on any part of the planet, producing a net force that is zero. Since there is no net force, there is no acceleration and, consequently, velocity is constant. When that happens, the person reached the <u>Terminal</u> <u>Velocity</u>.

Drag Force and Velocity are proportional to the squared speed. So, terminal velocity is given by:

F_{G}=F_{D}

mg=\frac{1}{2}C \rho Av_{T}^{2}

v_{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho CA} }

where

m is mass in kg

g is acceleration due to gravitational force in m/s²

ρ is density of the fluid in kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

A is area of the object in the fluid in m²

Calculating:

The 52kg skydiver has terminal velocity of:

v_{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2(52)(9.8)}{(1.21)(0.7)(0.14)} }

v_{T}= 9.09

The 95kg skydiver's terminal velocity is

v_{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2(95)(9.8)}{(1.21)(0.7)(0.14)} }

v_{T}= 12.3

The 52 kg and 95kg skydivers' terminal velocity are 9.09m/s and 12.3m/s, respectively.

The time each one will reach the floor will be:

52 kg at 9.09 m/s:

t=\frac{4750}{9.09}

t = 522.5

95 kg at 12.3 m/s:

t=\frac{4750}{12.3}

t = 386.2

The 52 kg and 95kg skydivers' time to reach the floor are 522.5 s and 386.2 s, respectively.

A discharge lamp rated at 25 W (1 W = 1 J/s) emits yellow light of wavelength 580 nm. How many photons of yellow light does the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

the number of photons of yellow light does the lamp generate in 1.0 s is 7 x 10^{19}

Explanation:

given information:

power, P = 25 W

wavelength. λ - 580 nm = 5.80 x 10^{-7} m

time, t = 1 s

to calculate the number of photon(N), we use the following equation

N = λPt/hc

where

λ = wavelength (m)

P = power (W)

t = time interval (s)

h = Planck's constant (6.23 x 10^{-34} Js)

c = light's velocity (3 x 10^{8} m/s^{2})

So,

N = λPt/hc

   = (5.80 x 10^{-7})(25)(1)/(6.23 x 10^{-34})(3 x 10^{8} m/s^{2})

    = 7 x 10^{19}

Who created the theory of general relativity?
pantera1 [17]
Who created the theory of general relativity?:

The answer would be: Albert Einstein.

Albert Einstein developed the general relativity theory (gravitation). 

The year he developed the general relativity theory or (GR) was back in 1907 and 1915. Then many other contributions after 1915.

Convert 1erg into joule by dimensional method​
Valentin [98]

Answer:

1 * 10^-7 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use dimensional analysis.

1 ergos [erg] is equal to 1 * 10^-7 Joules [J]

1[erg]*\frac{1*10^{-7} }{1}*[\frac{J}{erg} ] \\= 1*10^{-7}[J]
