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.

Star 1 - 4 hours right ascension
Star 2 - 3 hours right ascension
Subtracting hours right ascension
4 hours right ascension - 3 hours right ascension = 1 hours right ascension.
Thus,
star 1 will rise 1 hour before star 2

A change in which property of light will have no effect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs??? Frequently energy i

MaRussiya [10]

The intensity of the light has no connection with the photoelectric effect.

That's what was so baffling about it before the particle nature of light
was suspected ... a match with a blue flame might stimulate the
photoelectric effect, but a high-power red searchlight couldn't do it.

At the intersection of Texas Avenue and University Drive,

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The initial speed of the truck is 21.93 m/s, and the initial speed of the car is 19.524 m/s

Explanation:

We can use conservation of momentum to find the initial velocities.

Taking the unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing north and $\hat{j}$ pointing east, the final velocity will be

$\vec{V}_f = 16.0 \frac{m}{s} \ ( \ cos(24.0 \°) \ , \ sin (24.0 \°) \ )$

$\vec{V}_f = ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

The final linear momentum will be:

$\vec{P}_f = (m_{car}+ m_{truck}) * V_f$

$\vec{P}_f = (950 \ kg \ + 1900 \ kg \ ) * ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

$\vec{P}_f = (2.850 \ kg \ ) * ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

$\vec{P}_f = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )$

As there are not external forces, the total linear momentum must be constant.

So:

$\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f$

As initially the car is travelling east, and the truck is travelling north, the initial linear momentum must be

$\vec{P}_0= ( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} )$

so:

$\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f$

$( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} ) = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )$

so

$\left \{ {{m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} } \atop {m_{car} \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} }} \right.$

So, for the truck

$m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}$

$1900 \ kg \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}$

$v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}$

$v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}$

$v_{truck} = 21.93 \frac{m}{s}$

And, for the car

$950 \ kg \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}$

$v_{car}=\frac{18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{950 \ kg}$

$v_{car}=19.524 \frac{m}{s}$
