A flat circular mirror of radius 0.210 m is lying on the floor. Centered directly above the mirror, at a height of 0.660 m, is a

small light source. Calculate the diameter of the bright circular spot formed on the 2.70 m high ceiling by the light reflected from the mirror.

Answer:

2.14 m

Explanation:

The mirror creates a virtual light source 0.66 m under it that is the reflection of the real one. This will project a cone of light on the ceiling. The cone of light will be delimited by the edges of the mirror.

When the cone has been projected 0.66 m (touching the mirror) it will have a diameter of 0.42 m. So when it gets projected on the wall, that is 2.7 + 0.66 = 3.36 m away, it will have a diameter of:

\frac{0.42}{0.66} = \frac{x}{3.36}

x = \frac{0.42*3.36}{0.66} = 2.14 m

A car is traveling 20 m/s and slows down at a uniform rate. It stops in 6 seconds. How far has it traveled in this interval?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Car travel a distance of 60.06 m in 6 sec

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity v = 20 m/sec

Time = 6 sec

As the car stops finally so final velocity v = 0

From the first equation of motion

v = u+at (as the car velocity is slows down means it is a case of deceleration)

So v = u-at

0=20-a\times 6

a=3.33m/sec^2

Now from second equation of motion s=ut-\frac{1}{2}at^2=20\times 6-\frac{1}{2}\times 3.33\times 6^2=60.06m

The lead nucleus has a diameter of 14.2 fm. What is the electric field strength at the surface of a lead nucleus
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

E = kQ / r^2 = 2.34*10^21 V/m

where k = 8.99*10^9 m/F

Q = 82 * 1.6*10^-19 C

r = 7.1*10^-15 m

Explanation:

14.2 FM = 2.34×10^21 V/m
