A solar cooker, really a concave mirror pointed at the sun, focuses the sun's rays 16.0 cm in front of the mirror. what is the r

adius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made?

The focal point of a concave mirror is halfway along the radius, therefore the radius would be 2•16= 32 cm

A person who normally weighs 580 N is riding in an elevator that is moving upward, but slowing down at a steady rate. If this pe
Zanzabum

Answer:

M au = Fs - M g       au = upwards acceleration; Fs = scale reading

Fs = M (au + g)    scalar quantities where g is positive downwards and au is positive upwards - Fs is the net force acting on the person

If the acceleration is zero Fs = M g  and the scale reads the persons weight

If the elevator is decelerating then au is negative and the scale reading     Fs = (g - au) M     and the scale reading is less than the weight of the person

Biologists use optical tweezers to manipulate micron-sized objects using a beam of light. In this technique, a laser beam is foc
vekshin1

Answer:

Explanation:

Part A) Using

light intensity I= P/A

A= Area= π (Radius)^2= π((0.67*10^-6m)/(2))^2= 1.12*10^-13 m^2

Radius= Diameter/2

P= power= 10*10^-3=0.01 W

light intensity I= 0.01/(1.12*10^-13)= 9*10^10 W/m^2

Part B)  Using

I=c*ε*E^2/2

rearrange to solve for E= \sqrt{((I*2)/(c*ε))

c is the speed of light which is 3*10^8 m/s^2

ε=permittivity of free space or dielectric constant= 8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1

I= the already solved light intensity= 8.85*10^10 W/m^2

amplitude of the electric field E= \sqrt{(9*10^10 W/m^2)*(2) / (3*10^8 m/s^2)*(8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1)

---> E= \sqrt{(1.8*10^11) / (2.66*10^-3) = \sqrt{(6.8*10^13) = 8.25*10^6 V/m

Hlo <br><br> what is a force........??
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:

In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

Formula

Newton's Second Law

F = m * a

F = force

m = mass of an object

a = acceleration
