As per the question the height of object [h_{0} ]  18 mm

The object distance [u] is given as 12 mm

The image distance[v] is given as 4 mm

The lens taken here is a diverging nature.hence the lens is a concave lens.

The image formed in a concave lens is always virtual,erect and diminished.

As per the question the image is formed in front of the lens.

we have to calculate the image height[h_{i} ]  which is calculated as follows-

putting the sign convention on the above data we get

u= -12 mm              v=-- -4 mm     [ - sign is due to the fact that the measurement is opposite to the direction of light

h_{0} =18 mm                [the height is positive as it is above the principal axis]

As per the magnification formula we know that

Magnification m= \frac{h_{i} }{h_{o} } = \frac{v}{u}

                        ⇒ \frac{h_{i} }{h_{o} } =\frac{v}{u}

                        ⇒\frac{h_{i} }{18} =\frac{-4}{-12}

                        ⇒h_{i} =\frac{18*[-4]}{[-12]}

                                      = 6 mm [ans]

Hence B is right.

The answer is

18 / x = 12 / 4 
12x = 72
x = 6mm

1. A base-ball of mass 0.3kg approaches the bat at a speed of 30 miles/hour and when the ball hits the bat for 0.5 s, it started
andre [41]

Answer:

I = 27kg.mi/h

Explanation:

In order to calculate the impulse of the ball, you use the following formula:

I=m\Delta v  =m(v-v_o)      (1)

m: mass of the ball = 0.3kg

v: speed of the ball after the bat hit it = 60mi/h

vo: speed of the ball before the bat hit it = 30mi/h

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

I=(0.3kg)(60mi/h-(-30mi/h))=27kg\frac{mi}{h}

where the minus sign of the initial velocity means that the motion of the ball is opposite to the final direction of such a motion.

The imulpse of the ball is 27 kg.miles/hour

A pitcher delivers a fast ball with a velocity of 43 m/s to the south. the batter hits the ball and gives it a velocity of 51 m/
hoa [83]
Assuming north as positive direction, the initial and final velocities of the ball are:
v_i=-43 m/s (with negative sign since it is due south)
v_f=+51 m/s
the time taken is t=1.0 ms=0.001 s, so the average acceleration of the ball is given by
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}= \frac{51 m/s-(-43 m/s)}{0.001 s}=9.4 \cdot 10^4 m/s^2
And the positive sign tells us the direction of the acceleration is north.

Explain the following statement: A concentrated acid is not necessarily a strong acid.

Concentration involves the relative amounts of solvent and solute in a solution, when strength is related to the extent to which a substance dissociates :))
