A concave mirror is a converging mirror while a convex mirror is a diverging mirror.

<h3>Curved mirrors</h3>

Curved mirrors are different from plane mirrors because they have a center of curvature. The image formed by each type of mirror depends on the position of the object.

There are two types of curved mirrors;

Converging mirror
Diverging mirror

A concave mirror is a converging mirror while a convex mirror is a diverging mirror. The images are not provided here so we can not really say which is which.

Listed following are three possible models for the long-term expansion (and possible contraction) of the universe in the absence

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1. Recollapsing universe

2. Critical universe

3. Coasting universe

Explanation:

Recollapsing universe has dark matter density greater than critical density. While critical universe has its matter density equal to the critical sensity. Coasting universe on the other hand has much smaller matter density compared to critical density.

Note that the critical density is approximately 10^-20 grams/cm3

Energy is conventionally measured in Calories as well as in joules. One Calorie in nutrition is one kilocalorie, defined as 1 kc

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a) The student must run flight of stairs to lose 1.00 kg of fat 709.5 times.

b) Average power

P(w)= 1062.07 [w]

P(hp)=1.42 [hp]

c) This activity is highly unpractical, because the high amount of repetitions he has to due in order to lose, just 1 Kg of fat.

Explanation:

First, lets consider the required amount of work to move the mass of the student. (considering running stairs just as a vertical movement)

Work:

$W= F*d= m*g*d$

Where m is the mass of the student, g is gravity (9.8 m/s) and d is the total distance going up the stairs (0.15m *85steps= 12.75m )

$W= F*d= m*g*d=85* 9.8*12.75=10620.75 [J]$

Converting from Joules to Kcals:

$\frac{10620.75}{4186} =2.537 Kcal$

Now lets take into account the efficiency of the human body (20%)

2.537 ---> 20%

x ---> 100%

$x=\frac{2.537*100}{20} =12.685$

So the student is consuming 12.685 KCals each time he runs up the stairs.

Now,

1 g --> 9 Kcals

1000 g --> 9000KCals

Burning 1 g of fat, requieres 9 KCals, 1000g burns 9000KCals. So in order to burn a 1Kg of fat:

$\frac{9000Kcals}{12.685Kcals} =709.5 times$

He must run up the stairs 709.5 times, to burn 1 Kg of fat.

********************

For b) just converting units, taking into account the time lapse. (53103.75 is the 100% of the energy in joules, from converting 12.685Kcals to joules)

$Power=\frac{Joules}{Seconds} =\frac{53103.75}{50} =1062.075 [W]\\$

$P(hp)=\frac{P(w)}{745.7} =\frac{1062.075}{745.7} =1.42[hp]$

Benjamina started her walk from the front door of her ground floor apartment. She walked 6 meters to the corner of the building

Cloud [144]

The distance is the total distance she walked which is 16 meters adding the 6 meters to the corner and 10 meters to her friend's apartment. Her displacement is the distance from her original starting point so you set up a triangle with side lengths of 6 and 10 and solve for the hypotenuse which gives you a displacement of 11.66 meters.

Physics question!!!

lesantik [10]

Answer:

4.5 metres

Explanation:

Using Hooke's Law ( $F\propto x$ )

We need to find the spring constant of the bungee cord with the given extension and force, we can do this by substituting in known values.

$600=3k\\k=200$

Now we have found the spring constant of the bungee cord, we can substitute it in for the a different force. As the cord is the same we can use the same spring constant.

$900=200x\\x=4.5$
