Radius of Curvature of a 10cm Concave Mirror

AI Thread Summary
The focal length of a concave mirror is directly related to its radius of curvature, with the radius being double the focal length. For a concave mirror with a focal length of 10 cm, the radius of curvature is 20 cm. This relationship is fundamental in optics and can be easily found through a quick search. The discussion emphasizes the simplicity of the calculation involved. Understanding this concept is essential for working with concave mirrors in various applications.

Google the words... concave mirror focal length radius of curvature

Just by reading the text below the first link you should be able to find the answer. I'll give you a hint, all you need to do is multiply your 10 cm by a single number!
 
oh ok so it's just the double of the focal length then? thanks so much:biggrin:

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
