The focal length for a spherical convex mirror is –20 cm. What is its radius of curvature?
1 answer:
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:
rewriting for R:

Answer:
a) 23 m/s
Explanation:
- Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved, as follows:
- The initial momentum p₀, can be written as follows:
- The final momentum pf, can be written as follows:
- Since (2) and (3) are equal each other, we can solve for the only unknown that remains, v₂₀, as follows:
- This means that the 2.0-kg object was moving at 23 m/s in a direction opposite to the 6.0-kg object, so its initial speed, before the collision, was 23.0 m/s.
