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

Physics

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.

Answer:

a.Attractive

2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N

Explanation:

When it comes to charges, the charges which are alike repel each other and the charges which are different will attract each other.

Here, there is a proton and electron which are different particles hence, they will attract each other.

q_1=q_2 = Charge of electron and proton = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

r = Distance between them = 997 nm

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Force is given by

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(997\times 10^{-9})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N

The force of attraction between the particles will be 2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N

2. This diagram represents a top-down view of an experiment on a table. The 250 g and 100 g masses are falling and are pulling t
Rasek [7]

Answer:

According to the data given in the question, experiment on table two pulling and falling masses are arranged in the fig. 250  g is pulling right side and   100 g pulling down. The gravitational force is common to both the masses, so we cannot say that the block moves towards heavier mass, also the block  does not move towards the lighter mass.

Obviously, the effect of heavier mass of 250 g is more on the block, so the block moves towards right bottom corner. i.e., diagonally between two masses

can you help me create a sketch of two different objects with one that has a greater density than the other?
sergey [27]

I don't know how good you are at sketching ... I'm terrible. 
But you can put the point across in a dramatic way if you
can sketch a bowling ball and a basketball ... you'll need
to clearly identify them with the markings you sketch on
each ball. 

They're the same shape and nearly the same size, but
there's a huge difference in their densities.
