A mirror produces an image that is located 34.0 cm behind the mirror when the object is located 7.50 cm in front of the mirror.

What is the focal length of the mirror, and is the mirror concave or convex?

Answer:

- 9.62 cm

Explanation:

location of image, v = + 34 cm

location of object, u = - 7.5 cm

Let f be the focal length of the mirror.

Use mirror formula,

1 / f = 1 / v + 1 / u

1 / f = 1 / 34 - 1 / 7.5

1 / f = (7.5 - 34) / (7.5 x 34)

f = - 9.62 cm

As the focal length is negative, so the mirror is concave in nature.

A 0.2 kg block sliding on a horizontal table slows down from 25 m/s to 20 m/s. How much energy does the block lose due to fricti
Papessa [141]

Answer:

the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

initial velocity of the block, u = 25 m/s

final velocity of the block, v = 20 m/s

The kinetic energy lost due to friction is calculated as;

\Delta K.E= K.E_f - K.E_i\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -  \frac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}m(v^2 -u^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2} \times 0.2 (20^2 - 25^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= -22.5 \ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

If it takes 600 N to move a box 5 meters, how much work is done on the box?
Anika [276]

Answer:

<h2>3000 J</h2>

Option C is the correct option.

Explanation:

Given,

Force = 600 N

Distance = 5 meters

Work = ?

Now,

Work = Force \times distance

= 600  \times 5

Calculate the product

= 3000 \: Joule

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

A 0.45-kilogram football traveling at a speed of 22 meters per second is caught by an 84-kilogram stationary receiver. if the fo
Troyanec [42]

Impulse = Change in momentum.  
The ball was moving with a momentum of 0.45 * 22 = 9.9  
The ball comes to rest in the receivers arm; this means the ball's final velocity = 0. So mv2 = 0.45 * 0  
The magnitude of the impact is just the change in momentum. 9.9 - (0.45 * 0) = 9.9

Only 35 % of the intensity of a polarized light wave passes through a polarizing filter. What is the angle between the electric
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The angle between the electric field and the axis of the filter is 54⁰

Explanation:

Apply the equation for intensity of light through a polarizer.

I = I_oCos^2 \theta

where;

I is the intensity of the transmitted light

I₀ is the intensity of the incident light

θ is the incident angle

If only 35 % of the intensity of a polarized light wave passes through a polarizing filter, then the ratio of the intensity of the transmitted light to that of the intensity of the incident light is given by;

\frac{I}{I_o}  = Cos^2 \theta\\\\\frac{35}{100} =  Cos^2 \theta\\\\Cos^2 \theta = 0.35\\\\Cos\theta = \sqrt{0.35} \\\\Cos\theta = 0.5916\\\\\theta = Cos^{-1}(0.5916)\\\\\theta  = 54 ^0

Therefore, the angle between the electric field and the axis of the filter is 54⁰

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles
Anna007 [38]

Question

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles  travelled in a straight line and some were deflected at different angles.

Which statement best describes what Rutherford concluded from the motion of the particles?

A) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by electrons.

B) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by electrons.

C) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

D) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.    

Answer:

 

The right answer is C)    

Explanation:

In the experiment described above, a piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Alpha particles <em>α</em> were used because, if the nucleus was positive, then it would deflect the positive particles. The principles of physics posit that electric charges of the same orientation repel.  

So most as expected some of the alpha particles went right through meaning that the gold atoms comprised mostly empty space except the areas that were with a dense population of positive charges. This area became known as the "nucleus".  

Due to the presence of the positive charges in the nucleus, some particles had their paths bent at large angles others were deflected backwards.

Cheers!
