Answer:

The power of the mirror in diopters is 58.8 D

Explanation:

Given;

radius of curvature of the spoon, R = 3.4 cm = 0.034 m

The focal length of a mirror is given by;

f = \frac{R}{2} \\\\f = \frac{0.034}{2} \\\\f = 0.017 \ m

The focal length of the mirror is 0.017 m

(b) The power of the mirror is given by;

P = \frac{1}{f}

where;

P is the power of the mirror

f is the focal length

P = \frac{1}{f}\\\\P= \frac{1}{0.017}\\\\P = 58.8 \ D

Thus, the power of the mirror in diopters is 58.8 D

the refractive index of cooking oil is 1.47, and the refractive index of water is 1.33. A thick layer of cooking oil is floating
VARVARA [1.3K]
When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle after which all the light is reflected (so, there is no refraction).

The value of this critical angle can be derived by Snell's law, and it is equal to
\theta_C = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.

In our problem, n1=1.47 and n2=1.33, so the critical angle is
\theta_C = \arcsin( \frac{1.33}{1.47} )=\arcsin (0.91)=65^{\circ}

Which of the follow represent a chemical changes
mixer [17]

Answer:

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

Explanation:

The missing options are:

A) ice melting to form liquid water

B) water boiling to form steam

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

D) sugar dissolving into hot coffee

In a chemical change the atoms of the reacting compounds are reordered forming new compounds. In a chemical change, new compounds appear, but in a physical change not.

Then, change of states like ice melting and water boiling are not chemical changes.

During steel rust, components of steel, like iron, are oxidized, that is, reacts with oxygen forming oxides.

The dissolution of sugar into hot coffee is a physical change in which sugar molecules get further apart in the coffee,  but they don't change.

Express the kinetic energy K in terms of the potential energy U.<br><br><br> K=GMm/2R
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

K = -½U

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;

U = -GMm/R

Where,

G is gravitational constant

M and m are the two masses exerting the forces

R is the distance between the two objects

Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;

K = GMm/2R

Re-rranging, we have;

K = ½(GMm/R)

Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;

K = -½U

A vector A⃗ has a magnitude of 40.0 m and points in a direction 20.0∘ below the positive x axis. A second vector, B⃗, has a magn
jolli1 [7]

The magnitude of the vector C is 96.32m

<h3>How to solve for the magnitude of vector c</h3>

Ax = AcosθA

= 40 cOS 20

= 37.59

Ay = AsinθA

-40sin20

= -13.68

Bx = B cos θ B

= 75Cos50

= 48.21

By = BsinθB

= 75sin50

= 57.45

Cx = AX + Bx

= 37.59 + 48.21

= 85.8

Cy = Ay + By

= -13.65 + 57.45

= 43.77

The magnitude is solved by

|c| = \sqrt{Cx^{2}+Cy^{2}  }

= √85.8² + 43.77²

= 96.32m

The magnitude of the vector c is 96.32m
