Car headlights use concave mirrors. There's a concave mirror in the back of the headlight socket, and the actual light bulb is p

laced somewhere along the principal axis. Your question for this essay: where should that bulb be placed for the best headlight design? Should it be at the focal point? At the radius of curvature? Somewhere else? Explain your answer.

Answer:

At the focus

Explanation:

In car head lights concave mirrors are used. The light bulbs in these headlights are place along the principal axis  as shown in the figure. On this Principal axis light bulbs are place at the Focus to get maximum brightness. As from the figure we can conclude that light rays coming from infinity converse at focus thus, giving maximum brightness.

Suppose we could shrink the Earth without changing its mass. At what fraction of its current radius would the free-fall accelera
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

R' = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}R

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is given by:

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Earth

R is the radius of the Earth

Here we want to find the new Earth radius R' for which the gravitational acceleration at the surface, g', would be 3 times the current value of g:

g' = 3g

So we would have

\frac{GM}{R'^2}=3(\frac{GM}{R^2})

Solving the equation for R', we find

R'^2 = \frac{1}{3}R^2\\R' = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}R

a diver on a board 7.5m above the water walks off the end with a horizontal velocity of 2.3 m/s when they hit the surface of the
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

2.846m

Explanation:

The diver is performing projectile motion.

To find x(final), we are going to use the equation x(final) = v(initial)*t + x(initial)

x(initial) = 0

x(final) = ?

v(initial) = 2.3 m/s

we don't know t

To find t we will use y(final) = 1/2*(-9.8)*t^2 + v(initial in the y dir.)*t + y(initial)

- 9.8 in the acceleration in the y dir.

y(final) = 0

y(initial) = 7.5

v(initial in the y dir.) = 0

If we solve for t we get: t = 1.237s

Now we have all the components to solve for x(final) in x(final) = v(initial)*t + x(initial)

x(final) = 2.3*1.237 + 0

x(final) = 2.846m

Which of the following describes the relationship between work and power?
Vinvika [58]

Answer: The answer is B

Explanation:

Work can be defined as the energy that is required to apply a force to an object in order to move it from one point to another. In physics, work = force x distance travelled. On the other hand, Power is the work done per time. In other words, it the rate at which work is done and is determined by using the formula, Power = Work/time. In these relationships, it can be seen that power is directly proportional to the amount of work done, hence as power increases, more work is done.
