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:

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

To change a tire, you need to use a jack to raise one corner of your car. While doing so, you happen to notice that pushing the

Alja [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy lost by the handle in lowering is equal to the energy gained by the car in raising the height.

As the mass of car is much more as compared to the jack, so the height raised by the car is very small as compared to the handle of jack.

Susan goes out to exercise. She runs for one hour at a constant speed and velocity. What is the overall net force acting on Susa

kiruha [24]

Option (A ) is correct.

Explanation:

susan is moving with constant velocity, so both the direction and magnitude of the velocity remains same. so the acceleration of susan =0. This is because an object gets accelerated when either the magnitude or direction of the speed changes.

now the force is given by

$F= ma$

F= force

m= mass

a= acceleration

Here a =0

so F= 0

so the net force on susan is zero.
