Answer:

45.8 cm

Explanation:

distance of object from the mirror is infinity

distance of image, v = 22.9 cm

The mirror is convex because it is used to see the distant objects and the image formed by the mirror is erect and small.

use mirror formula

Let f be the focal length of the mirror

1 / f = 1 / v + 1 / u

1 / f = 1 / 22.9  + 1 / ∞

f = 22.9 cm

radius of curvature = 2 x focal length

radius of curvature = 2 x 22.9 = 45.8 cm

Answer:

<em>A. The mirror is a convex mirror</em>

<em>B.  The radius of curvature of the convex mirror is -45.8 cm</em>

Explanation:

A. Obtaining the focal length

The radius of curvature is twice the size of the focal length, the focal length is related to object and image distance with the expression below;

1 / f = 1 / v + 1 / u ...................1

f is the focal length

Since the image (v) is formed at the back of the mirror v = -22.9 cm

u is the distance of the object from the mirror  =  ∞

Substituting into equation 1

1 / f = 1 / [(-22.9)  + 1 / ∞]

1/f = 1/(-22.9)

f = -22.9

Since the focal length is negative, the mirror is  convex.

B The radius of curvature

The radius of curvature is twice the focal length of the mirror and expressed  thus;

radius of curvature = 2 x focal length

r = 2 x f

r = 2 x (-22.9 cm)

 = -45.8 cm

Therefore the radius of curvature of the convex mirror is -45.8 cm

What controls the traits an organism has?
Charra [1.4K]

The Traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, in other words by its genotype. Variant copies of a gene are called alleles, and an individuals genotype is the sum of all the alleles inherited from the parents.

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1. 2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf v_i= 4 \ m/s}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the cyclist's initial velocity. We are given the acceleration, final velocity, and time, so we will use the following kinematic equation.

v_f= v_i + at

The cyclist is acceleration at 1.2 meters per second squared. After 10 seconds, the velocity is 16 meters per second.

  • v_f= 16 m/s
  • a= 1.2 m/s²
  • t= 10 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2)(10 \ s)

Multiply.

16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2 * 10 \ s)

16 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s

We are solving for the initial velocity, so we must isolate the variable v_i. Subtract 12 meters per second from both sides of the equation.

16 \ m/s - 12 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s -12 \ m/s

4 \ m/s = v_i

The cyclist's initial velocity is <u>4 meters per second.</u>
