Which best describes the surface of a concave mirror? It is flat. It is textured. It curves outward. It curves inward.

1 answer:

8 0

The concave mirror is a spherical-shaped mirror that has an inner curved surface. Hence, option (4) is correct.

What is a concave mirror?

The concave mirrors are spherical-shaped mirrors that are painted on the outward surface. It is also known as the converging mirror, having the recessed inner reflecting surface.

The concave mirrors are generally used for the purpose to focus the light. For that, they might have a reflecting surface, curved inwards, and the reflection of light is limited to the single focal point.
The reflecting surface of the concave mirror has its vertex or midpoint lying farther away from the objects than the edges.

Thus, we can conclude that the surface of the concave mirror is curved inward. Hence, option (4) is correct.

How far can a sound wave travel in 90 seconds when the ambient air temperature is 10 C?

Ksju [112]

Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

An 80-kg astronaut becomes separated from his spaceship. He is 15.0 m away from it and at rest relative to it. In an effort to g

9966 [12]

The astronaut will take 300 seconds

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, the total momentum of the astronaut+object system must be conserved.

Initially, they are both at rest, so their total momentum is zero:

$p=0$

After the astronaut throws the object, their total momentum is:

$p=MV+mv$

where:

M = 80 kg is the mass of the astronaut

V is the final velocity of the astronaut

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg is the mass of the object

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity of the object

Since momentum is conserved, we can write

$0=MV+mv$

And solving for V,

$V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.5)(8.0)}{80}=-0.05 m/s$

Which means that he starts moving at 0.05 m/s in the direction opposite to the object.

Now the astronaut needs to cover a distance of

d = 15.0 m

And his speed is

v = 0.05 m/s

Therefore, the time taken is

$t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{15.0}{0.05}=300 s$

Experiencing a green afterimage of a red object is most easily explained by

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The opponent-process theory

Explanation:

The opponent process theory is based on the human visual system and according to the theory the interpretation of the color is done by the photo-receptors rods and cones in the human eye.

This theory states that the perception of color is governed by the two opponent system which includes - a red-green, a blue-yellow and a black-white mechanism.

Any activity in one of these restricts the activity in the other.
