Answer:

Here are some uses...

Explanation:

Uses of convex mirror:

It is used in supermarkets and stores for surveillance.

It it is used as rear view mirror in automobiles.this is due to the reason that a convex mirror provides a wider field of view than a plane or concave mirror.

Uses of concave mirror:

It is used in torches.

They are used in headlights of vehicles to send parallel rays to infinity , in shaving mirror to get an enlarged image of the face and also by dentists to see a bigger image of the tooth / teeth .

Concave mirrors are used in reflecting telescopes. They are also used to provide a magnified image of the face for applying make-up or shaving. ... Concave mirrors are used to form optical cavities, which are important in laser construction. Some dental mirrors use a concave surface to provide a magnified image.

Which has the greater change in momentum, a 50 gram clay ball that strikes a wall at 1 m/s and sticks or a 50 gram superball tha

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: 50 gram superball that strikes the wall at 1 m/s and bounces away at 0.8 m/s has greater change in kinetic energy.

Explanation:

50 gram superball that strikes the wall at 1 m/s and bounces away at 0.8 m/s has the greater change in kinetic energy because the collision is elastic in nature that is bodies separates after collision and doesn't lose any kinetic energy.

Also for an elastic collision, both the momentum and energy of the bodies are conserved compare to inelastic collision where only momentum is conserved but not the kinetic energy(this is attributed to bodies that sticks together after collision).

If Joe rides his bike for 15 minutes at 20 km/hour south, how far has he ridden? (Give the answer in km) Watch the units!

Virty [35]

Answer:

Distance covered by Joe, d = 5 km

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of Joe, v = 20 km/hour

Time taken by Joe, t = 15 minutes = 0.25 h

We need to find the distance he is covering. It can be calculated using definition of speed as :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$
