Which is true about a concave mirror? Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are dispersed but will be perceived as

originating from a point on the near side of the mirror.

Reil [10]3 years ago

Answer:

'Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are sent through a point on the near side of the mirror'.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, find the complete question in the comment section.

Concave mirrors is an example of a curved mirror. The outer surface of a concave mirror is always coated. On the concave mirror, we have what is called the central axis or principal axis which is a line cutting through the center of the mirror. The points located on this axis are the Pole, the principal focus and the centre of curvature. <em>The focus point is close to the curved  mirror than the centre of curvature.</em>

<em></em>

During the formation of images, one of the incident rays (rays striking the plane surface) coming from the object and parallel to the principal axis, converges at the focus point after reflection because all incident rays striking the surface are meant to reflect out. <em>All incident light striking the surface all converges at a point on the central axis known as the focus.</em>

Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that 'Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are sent through a point on the near side of the mirror'.

A sample of helium has a volume of 12.7 m3. The temperature is raised to 323 K at which time the gas occupies 32.5 m3? Assume pr
jasenka [17]

Answer: The original temperature was

T_{1}=126.51K

Explanation:

Let's put the information in mathematical form:

V_{1}=12.7m^{3}

T_{1}=?

V_{2}=32.5m^{3}

T_{2}=323K

P_{1}=P_{2}=3atm

If we consider the helium as an ideal gas, we can use the Ideal Gas Law:

PV=nRT

were <em>R</em> is the gas constant. And <em>n</em> is the number of moles (which we don't know yet)

From this, taking R=0.08205746\frac{atm.l}{mol.K},  we have:

n=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{RT_{2}}

⇒n=3.67mol

Now:

T_{1}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{nR}

⇒T_{1}=126.51K

The vapor pressure of diethyl ether (ether) is 463.57 mm Hg at 25°C. How many grams of chlorophyll, C55H72MgN4O5, a nonvolatile,
mixer [17]

Answer:

29.4855 grams of chlorophyll

Explanation:

From Raoult's law

Mole fraction of solvent = vapor pressure of solution ÷ vapor pressure of solvent = 457.45 mmHg ÷ 463.57 mmHg = 0.987

Mass of solvent (diethyl ether) = 187.4 g

MW of diethyl ether (C2H5OC2H5) = 74 g/mol

Number of moles of solvent = mass/MW = 187.4/74 = 2.532 mol

Let the moles of solute (chlorophyll) be y

Total moles of solution = moles of solute + moles of solvent = (y + 2.532) mol

Mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent/total moles of solution

0.987 = 2.532/(y + 2.532)

y + 2.532 = 2.532/0.987

y + 2.532 = 2.565

y = 2.565 - 2.532 = 0.033

Moles of solute (chlorophyll) = 0.033 mol

Mass of chlorophyll = moles of chlorophyll × MW = 0.033 × 893.5 = 29.4855 grams

A crate filled with delicious junk food rests on a horizontal floor. Only gravity and the support force of the floor act on it,
stealth61 [152]

The words "... as shown ..." tell us that there's a picture that goes along
with this question, and you decided not to share it.  That's sad and
disappointing, but I think the question can be answered without seeing
the picture.

The net force on the crate is zero.  Evidence for this is that fact that
the crate is just sitting there.  If the net force on an object is not zero,
then the object is accelerating ... it's either speeding up, slowing down,
or its the direction of its motion is changing.  If none of these things is
happening, then the net force on the object must be zero.

Geologists use tools other than the law of superposition to help them with relative dating. Which statements describe those tool
White raven [17]

Answer: Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

Explanation:

The options include:

1. An unconformity is created when lava pours out on Earth’s surface.

2. Faults are the result of volcanic activity.

3. Intrusions and extrusions are sedimentary formations.

4. Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

5. When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

The law of superposition simply states that when there is a layers of rocks, we would see that the younger layers will lie and be on top of the layers that are older.

Other tools that can help scientist with relative dating are:

• Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

• When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

A fireman of 80 kg slides down a pole.When he reaches the bottom, 4.2 m below his starting point, his speed is 2.2 m/s . By how
levacccp [35]

Answer:

3099 J

Explanation:

The increase in thermal energy corresponds to the mechanical energy lost in the process.

The mechanical energy is given by the sum of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy of the fireman:

E=K+U

At the top of the pole, the fireman has no kinetic energy, so all his mechanical energy is just potential energy:

E=U=mgh=(80 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(4.2 m)=3293 J

When the fireman reaches the bottom, he has no gravitational potential energy, so his mechanical energy is just given by his kinetic energy:

E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(80 kg)(2.2 m/s)^2=194 J

So, the loss in mechanical energy was

\Delta E=3293 J-194 J=3099 J

and this corresponds to the increase in thermal energy.
