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

By experiment, determine what makes a force attractive or repulsive. Describe your experiments and observations with some exampl
drek231 [11]

The charge present determines a force to be attractive or repulsive.

The charges acquired by two bodies determines the Force as Attractive Or Repulsive.

Electric Force applied due to Electrical charges is same in magnitude but opposite in direction. This corresponds this phenomenon equivalent to the Newton's Third Law.

Examples of the experiments and observations:

  • On combing hair through a comb and then keeping it close to small pieces of paper shows attraction of paper pieces towards the comb.

This occurs due to the Electric charges present in the comb that induces charge in paper pieces leading to their attraction.

  • In both Gravitational Force and Coulomb force, the force remains inversely proportional to the square of the distance following the Inverse Square Law being the Central Force system. This only differs by the fact that in Gravitational Force, masses are used and in Coulomb force, charges are used.

The more the distance between the charges, the less is the Electric Force.

The lesser the distance between the charges, the more is the Electric Force.

If both the objects are charged the same i.e. either positive or negative then the Force is Repulsive and if the charges are Oppositely charged then the force is attractive.

Hence, the charge present determines a force to be attractive or repulsive.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

F' = F/16

Explanation:

The gravitational force between masses is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

If the distance between the center of two objects is quadrupled, r' = 4r

New force will be :

F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r'^2}\\\\F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{(4r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{16r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{F}{16}

So, the new force will change by a factor of 16.
