Answer:

u = - 20 cm

m =\frac{1}{5}

Given:

Radius of curvature, R = 10 cm

image distance, v = 4 cm

Solution:

Focal length of the convex mirror, f:

f = \frac{R}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 cm

Using Lens' maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

Substitute the given values in the above formula:

\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{4}

u = - 20 cm

where

u = object distance

Now, magnification is the ratio of image distance to the object distance:

magnification, m =\frac{|v|}{|u|}

magnification, m =\frac{|4|}{|-20|}

m =\frac{4}{20}

m =\frac{1}{5}

Describe a technology used in space exploration.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

High speed optical communication technology

To be able to communicate from the space to the earth and from earth to space is one of the most essential features required during space exploration.

Explanation:

Space exploration involves going into the space, beyond the earth's atmosphere. Landing on other planets and studying their details, going into deeper space beyond the planets to discover new cosmic events or structures is all a part of space exploration.

The key to analyse the studies and observations is being able to communicate the data collected, photos taken etc to the launch centers or space centers on earth. The space centers on earth should also be able to communicate with the persons or the satellites in space.

This is made possible using the optical communication technology which involves the use of optical fibers, lasers etc, since high speeds are more efficient during communication

A car is accelerating at 30 m/s2, if the car is 400 kg how much force
Verizon [17]
It would be 12,000 because newton’s third 2nd law states F=ma (force=matter x acceleration) so 30x400 would be your force .

please mark brainliest and i hope this helps!

• A plastic bag filled with air has a volume of
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The change in the mass of box = 0.01 kg

Volume of air in the polythene bag = Volume of air in the rigid box

Therefore, Volume of air in the box = 0.008 m^3

Now, Density = Mass/ Volume

=> Density = 0.01 / 0.008 = 1.25 Kg / m^3
