The focal length for a spherical convex mirror is –20 cm. What is its radius of curvature?

Physics
1 answer:
Svetradugi [14.3K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

40 cm

Explanation:

The focus of a spherical convex mirror is the point at which the rays of an object converge in the infinite, it is also the point at which an object must be placed so that its image is formed in the infinite. The distance from the focus to the origin is called the focal length and is called f. It is related to the radius of the mirror, R, according to:

f=-\frac{R}{2}

rewriting for R:

R=-2f=-2*-20cm=40 cm.

A train travels north at a speed of 50 m/s.
Gala2k [10]

The apparent velocity is B) 48 m/s north

Explanation:

Here we have a problem of relativity of velocities.

In fact, the train is travelling north at a speed of

v_t = 50 m/s

where this velocity is measured with respect to the ground.

At the same time, a passenger on the train is walking towards the rear (so, south) at a velocity of

v'=2 m/s

where this velocity is measured with respect to the train, which is in motion in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the apparent velocity of the passenger with respect to an observer standing on the ground is:

v=V_t - v' = 50 - 2 = 48 m/s

And the direction is north, since this number is positive.

States that Earth processes today are similar to those that took place in the past
Maslowich

Answer;

Uniformitarianism

Explanation;

-Uniformitarianism is the principle suggesting that Earth's geologic processes acted in the same manner and with essentially the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is sufficient to account for all geologic change.  For example, at an active volcano we can observe lava cooling to form layers of basalt.

James Hutton suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.

Using 0.500 g of nichrome, you are asked to fabricate a wire with uniform cross-section. The resistance of the wire is 0.673 Ω.
mojhsa [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Nichrome, m = 0.5 g

The resistance of the wire, R = 0.673 ohms

Resistivity of the nichrome wire, \rho=10^{-6}\ \Omega -m

Density, d=8.31\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

(A) The length of the wire is given by using the definition of resistance as :

Volume,

V=A\times l\\\\A=\dfrac{V}{l}\\\\Since, V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{8.31\times 10^3}\\\\V=6.01\times 10^{-8}\ m^3

Area,

A=\dfrac{V}{l}\\\\A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l}....(1)

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}\\\\l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\\l=\dfrac{0.673\times 6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l\times 10^{-6}}\\\\l=0.201\ m

(b)  Equation (1) becomes :

A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l}\\\\A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{0.201}\\\\\pi r^2=3\times 10^{-7}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 10^{-7}}{\pi}} \\\\r=3.09\times 10^{-4}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
