Answer:

Below:

Explanation:

A concave mirror is used as a torch reflector. ... When a light bulb is placed at the focus of a concave mirror reflector, the diverging light rays of the bulb are collected by the reflector. These rays are then reflected to produce a strong, parallel-sided beam of light.

Hope it helps...

A 4kg block and a 2kg block can move on horizontal frictionless surface. The blocks are accelerated by a +12-N force that pushes

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a) -4 N

b) +4 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for each block.

For the large block, there are 2 forces: 12 N pushing to the right, and F pushing to the left.

For the small block, there is 1 force, F pushing to the right.

There are also weight and normal forces in the vertical direction, but we can ignore those.

Sum of forces on the large block in the x direction:

∑F = ma

12 − F = 4a

Sum of forces on the small block in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F = 2a

2F = 4a

Substitute:

12 − F = 2F

12 = 3F

F = 4

The small block pushes on the large block 4 N to the left (-4 N).

The large block pushes on the small block 4 N to the right (+4 N).

A rifle fires a 2.01 10-2-kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the t

Zina [86]

Answer:

The value of spring constant is 266.01 $\frac{N}{m}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pellet $m = 2.01 \times 10^{-2}$ kg

Height difference of pellet rise $h_{f} - h_{o} = 6.03$ m

Spring compression $x = 9.45 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation law,

Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,

$mg(h_{f} -h_{o}) = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}$

Where $k =$ spring constant, $g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

$k = \frac{2mg(h_{f} -h_{o} )}{x^{2} }$

$k = \frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6.03\times 2.01 \times 10^{-2} }{(9.45\times 10^{-2} )^{2} }$

$k = 266.01$ $\frac{N}{m}$

Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01 $\frac{N}{m}$

A submarine emerges 1/9 of its volume when it partially floats on the sea surface. For make it completely submerge it is necessa

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

4,524,660 N

Explanation:

Assuming the submarine's density is uniform, 1/9th of the submarine's mass is equal to the mass of the displaced water.

m/9 = (1026 kg/m³) (50 m³)

m = 461,700 kg

mg = 4,524,660 N

Solve for the BMI weight 58kg Height 1.61

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

BMI= weight/(height × height) ; weight in kilogram and height in metter

= 58kg / (1.61m × 1.61m )

= (58/ 2.5921) kg/ $m^{2}$

= 22.375 kg/ $m^{2}$

≈ 22.4 kg/ $m^{2}$

Which is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy? Select two options.

Rasek [7]

Complete Question:

Which is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy? Select two options.

changing thermal energy to electrical energy

changing chemical energy to thermal energy

changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

changing radiant energy to electrical energy

changing mechanical energy to chemical energy

Correct Answer:

The examples of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy are changing chemical energy to thermal energy and changing nuclear energy to radiant energy.

Explanation:

As stated by the conservation of energy law, any form of energy is usually transferred to another form. The basic kinds of energy is potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy stored for the objects at rest and kinetic energy is the energy utilized by the objects for motion.

So in the given options, chemical energy is the energy stored by the chemical bonds to make a stable compound and that energy is converted to thermal energy when the bonds get broken. So the stored energy or the energy required to keep the bonds intact is chemical energy and it is thus a form of potential energy.

And when these bonds get broken, the electrons use the thermal energy released by this breakage as their kinetic energy. So one form of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy is by changing chemical energy to thermal energy.

Similarly, the nuclear energy is exhibited by the elementary particles in an atom. So it is similar to potential energy and the radiant energy is released whenever there is an excitation. So the radiant energy will be similar to kinetic energy.

Thus, the changing of chemical energy to thermal energy and the changing of nuclear energy to radiant energy are the examples of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy.
