In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it convergs at
ella [17]

Answer:

1) In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it converges at F and 2F.

Explanation:

Spherical mirrors can be used for magnification of images. There are basically two types of spherical mirrors and they are converging mirror and diverging mirrors. The converging mirrors are also termed as concave mirrors and its basic work is to converge or combine light rays coming from a larger distance to a single point. Mostly the light beams falling parallel to the principle axis of the concave mirror will be acting as parallel rays. And when these parallel rays fall on the mirror, the converging point can be the focal point of the mirror.

Thus the location of converging point in concave mirrors will be based on the position or distance of object from the mirror. If the object distance is very far from the twice the focal length distance of mirror, then the converging point will be the focal point or F. And if the object is placed slightly greater than twice the distance of focal point, then the image will be obtained at 2F. But the parallel beams will be converging at F and 2F.

7 the density of the american white oak tree is 752 kilograms per cubic meter. if the trunk of an american white oak tree has a
alexdok [17]

First, we determine the volume of the trunk by finding first the radius from the circumference through the equation,

<span>                                                            C = 2πr</span>

<span>                                                            r = C/2π</span>

Substituting the known values,

<span>                                                            r = 4.5/2π = 0.716 m</span>

Then, we calculate for the volume through the equation,

<span>                                                            V = πr2h</span>

<span>                                                V = π(0.716 m)2(8m) = 12.9 m3</span>

Multiplying the calculated value to the density will give the mass as,

<span>                                                Mass = (12.9 m3)(752 kg/m3) = <span>9699.36 kg</span></span>

Answer:

Explanation:

The coordinate sketch for the system is shown in the attached file below. Also, in the cartesian coordinate system, since the height is less than the length and width, we did neglect the height. Thus, we eliminate the height and converted it to a two-dimension.
