<u>Answer: </u>

Because <em>"a concave mirror converge the parallel sun rays at a point, so high temperature is achieved"</em>

Example:

It is used in the design of solar furnaces, because they converge the parallel sun rays at a point. This helps to increase the temperature of the furnace.

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 3.0 km/h

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

Speed = 3.0 km/h

Speed of second tugboat = 11 km/h

We need to calculate the speed

$v_{1}=\dfrac{3.0\times10^{3}}{3600}$

$v_{1}=0.833\ m/s$

The force F₁is constant acceleration is also a constant.

$F_{1}=ma_{1}$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

$a_{1}=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a_{1}=\dfrac{0.833}{10}$

$a_{1}=0.083\ m/s^2$

Similarly,

$F_{2}=ma_{2}$

For total force,

$F_{3}=F_{2}+F_{1}$

$ma_{3}=ma_{2}+ma_{1}$

The speed of second tugboat is

$v=\dfrac{11\times10^{3}}{3600}$

$v=3.05\ m/s$

We need to calculate total acceleration

$a_{3}=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a_{3}=\dfrac{3.05}{10}$

$a_{3}=0.305\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the acceleration a₂

$0.305=a_{2}+0.083$

$a_{2}=0.305-0.083$

$a_{2}=0.222\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the factor of F₁ and F₂

Dividing force F₁ by F₂

$\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\dfrac{m\times0.83}{m\times0.22}$

$\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=3.7$

$F_{1}=3.7F_{2}$

Hence, The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

You obtain a 100-W light bulb and a 50-W light bulb. Instead of connecting them in the normal way, you devise a circuit that pla

lesantik [10]

Answer:

When they are connected in series

The 50 W bulb glow more than the 100 W bulb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power rating of the first bulb is $P_1 = 100 \ W$

The power rating of the second bulb is $P_2 = 50 \ W$

Generally the power rating of the first bulb is mathematically represented as

$P_1 = V^2 R$

Where $V$ is the normal household voltage which is constant for both bulbs

$R_1 = \frac{V^2}{P_1 }$

substituting values

$R_1 = \frac{V^2}{100}$

Thus the resistance of the second bulb would be evaluated as

$R_2 = \frac{V^2}{50}$

From the above calculation we see that

$R_2 > R_1$

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as

$P_ 1 = I^2_1 R_1$

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as

$P_ 2 = I^2_2 R_2$

Now given that they are connected in series which implies that the same current flow through them so

$I_1^2 = I_2^2$

This means that

$P \ \alpha \ R$

So when they are connected in series

$P_2 > P_1$

This means that the 50 W bulb glows more than the 100 \ W bulb
