Answer:

f = 12 cm

Explanation:

<u>Center of Curvature</u>:

The center of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Center of Curvature’ of  mirror.

<u>The Radius of Curvature</u>:

The radius of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Radius of Curvature’ of  mirror. It is the distance from pole to the center of curvature.

<u>Focal Length</u>:

The distance between principal focus and pole is called ‘Focal Length’. It is denoted by ‘F’.

The focal length of the spherical (concave) mirror is approximately equal to half of the radius of curvature:

f = \frac{R}{2}

where,

f = focal length = ?

R = Radius of curvature = 24 cm

Therefore,

f = \frac{24\ cm}{2}

<u>f = 12 cm</u>

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Every object in the universe that has mass exerts a gravitational pull, or force, on every other mass. The size of the pull depends on the masses of the objects. You exert a gravitational force on the people around you, but that force isn't very strong, since people aren't very massive.

Answer:

²₁H + ³₂He —> ⁴₂He + ¹₁H

Explanation:

From the question given above,

²₁H + ³₂He —> __ + ¹₁H

Let ⁿₐX be the unknown.

Thus the equation becomes:

²₁H + ³₂He —> ⁿₐX + ¹₁H

We shall determine, n, a and X. This can be obtained as follow:

For n:

2 + 3 = n + 1

5 = n + 1

Collect like terms

n = 5 – 1

n = 4

For a:

1 + 2 = a + 1

3 = a + 1

Collect like terms

a = 3 – 1

a = 2

For X:

n = 4

a = 2

X =?

ⁿₐX => ⁴₂X => ⁴₂He

Thus, the balanced equation is

²₁H + ³₂He —> ⁴₂He + ¹₁H

A sand mover at a quarry lifts 2,000 kg of sand per minute a vertical distance of 12 m. The sand is initially at rest and is dis
Marianna [84]

Answer:

<h2>E. 3.95kW</h2>

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of workdone.

Power = Workdone/time taken

Given Workdone = Force * distance

Power = Force * distance/time taken

Power = mgd/t (F = mg)

m = mass of the sand in kg

g = acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

d = vertical distance covered in metres

t = time taken in seconds

Given m = 2000kg, d = 12m, t = 1min = 60secs, g = 9.8m/s²

Power = 2000*9.8*12/60

Power = 3920Watts

Minimum rate of power that must be supplied to this machine is 3920Watts or 3.92kW

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:Frequency = 3.525 Hertz

Explanation:In static equilibrium, kd =mg

Where k= effective spring constant of the spring.

mg= The weight of the car.

d= static deflection.

Therefore, w =SQRTg/d

w = SQRT 9.81/0.02

w= 22.15 rad/sec

Converting to Hertz unit for frequency

1 rad/s = 0.1591

22.15rad/s=?

22.15 × 0.1591= 3.525 hertz
