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

You use a pulley system to lift a car engine. You apply a force of 120n and the pulley pulls on the engine with a force of 1050n
Savatey [412]

Given,

Effort force = 120 N

Load force= 1050 N

Mechanical advantage of a pulley is given by the ratio of load force to the effort force.

M.A=\frac{Load force}{Effort force}

=\frac{1050}{120}

=8.75

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the given pulley is 8.75.

If a 2 kg object is falling at 3 m/s at what rate is gravity working on the object
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

+9.8m/s^2

Explanation:

The rate of gravity of the object is constant thriughout the surface of the earth.

For falling object, the rate of gravity is positive since the body is coming down (falling)

The rate of gravity is negative if the body is going up

The constant value for acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m.s^2

Since the object is falling, hence the acceleration due to gravity is positive.

Rate of gravity working on the object will be +9.8m/s^2

Identify which one is chemical change, chemical property,physical change and physical property
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Heat conductivity: Physical property

Silver tarnishing: chemical change

Sublimation: physical change

Magnetizing steel: physical property

Length of a metal object: physical property

Shortening melting: physical property

exploding dynamite: chemical change

combustible: chemical property

water freezing: physical change

Acid resistance: chemical property

brittleness: physical property

milk souring: chemical change

baking bread: chemical change

Explanation:

First you need to understand the differences between physical and chemical change; physical and chemical property.

<u>Physical properties vs chemical properties:</u>

Physical properties are properties that you can observe without changing the substance's composition. This means you can measure these properties without changing them chemically.

Chemical properties, on the other hand, are properties are not as direct. These properties are generally determined by the way the react with other substances changing their composition.

<u>Physical changes vs chemical changes:</u>

A substance that undergoes physical change does not change in chemical composition. They may look physically different in terms of size and shape, but overall, their chemical composition remains constant. The best example would be water. Water can change phases, from solid to liquid when they melt. Essentially, they look like different substances, but the change is only physical and not chemical.

Chemical change, is different by the fact that they change in chemical composition. Bonds are broken and/or made through the reaction, which changes them not only physically but chemically as well. Some of the most indicative signs of a chemical change occurring are: change in color, odor, production of gas, production of light/heat.
