Because gravity is constant
<span>the only force acting in free-fall is gravity which points downward at 9.8 m/s</span>

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = $\frac{r}{2}$

f = $\frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m$

Now,

m = - $\frac{v}{u}$

- 2 = - $\frac{v}{u}$

$\frac{v}{u}$ = 2 (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}$

v = $\frac{uf}{u - f}$ (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = $\frac{uf}{u - f}$

2 = $\frac{f}{u - f}$

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

In the average US household, the television is on 6.75 hours/day! How many hours will have passed after 77.7 years (the average

Nady [450]

Answer:

191433.4 hours

Explanation:

We are given that In the average US household, the television is on 6.75 hours/day! How many hours will have passed after 77.7 years (the average lifeexpectancy of an American)?

1 year - 365 days

Given that the television is on 6.75 hours/day.

If 1 year = 365 days

Convert 77.7 years to days by multiplying it by 365

77.7 × 365 = 28360.5 days

So the number of hours will be:

28360.5 × 6.75 = 191433.375 hours

Therefore, 191433.4 hours will pass.

Non of the options is correct.

You are driving at the speed of 27.7 m/s (61.9764 mph) when suddenly the car in front of you (previously traveling at the same s

densk [106]

Here when car in front of us applied brakes then it is slowing down due to frictional force on it

So here we can say that friction force on the car front of our car is given as

$F_f = \mu m g$

So the acceleration of car due to friction is given as

$F_{net} = - \mu mg$

$a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}$

$a = -\mu g$

now it is given that

$\mu = 0.868$

$g = 9.81 m/s^2$

so here we have

$a = -0.868 * 9.81$

$a = -8.52 m/s^2$

so the car will accelerate due to brakes by a = - 8.52 m/s^2
