Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Focal \ length = 10 \ cm}$

Given:

Radius of curvature (R) of a spherical mirror = 20

To Find:

Focal length (f)

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{\sf Focal \ length \ (f) = \frac{Radius \ of \ curvature \ (R)}{2}}}$

Substituting value of R in the equation:

$\sf \implies f = \frac{20}{2}$

$\sf \implies f = \frac{ \cancel{2} \times 10}{ \cancel{2}}$

$\sf \implies f = 10 \: cm$

Focal length = 10 cm.

Solution :

Given radius of curvature = 20 cm.

Formula :

Focal length = Radius of curvature/2

→ Focal length = 20/2

→ Focal length = 10 cm.

Answer : 10 cm.

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 49.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.170 m ? Yo

insens350 [35]

Full Question

Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, Q1 = -12.0 nC , is located at x1 = -1.705m ; the second charge, Q2 = 36.5 nC, is at the origin (x=0.0000).

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 49.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.170 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force.

Answer:

6.79E6 N

Explanation:

Given

Q1 is negative and to the left of Q3 the force will be to the left

Q2 is positive and to the right of Q3 the the force will also be to the left

Net Force is calculated as:

Using Coulomb's law

Coulomb's law: F = kqQ / r²

the constant k = 8.99 x 10^9 N m2 / C2

F = -kQ1*Q3/(r1)² -kQ2*Q3/(r2)²)

F = -kQ3(Q1/(r1)² + Q2/(r2)²)

Where

Q1 = -12nC = -12 * 10^-9C

Q2 = 36.5nC = 36.5 * 10^-9C

Q3 = 49.5nC = 49.5 * 10^-9C

x1 = -1.705m

x2 = x = 0

x3 = -1.170m

r1 = x3 - x1

r1 = -1.170 - -1.705

r1 = -1.170 + 1.705

r1 = 0.535

r1² = 0.286225

r2 = x3

r2 = -1.170

r2² = -1.170²

r2² = 1.3689

So,

F = (-8.99 * 10^9)(49.5 *10^-9) [-12 * 10^-9/0.286225 + 36.5 * 10^-9/1.3689]

F = -445.005 (−4.192505895711E−8 + 2.6663744612462E−8)

F = -445.005 * −1.5261314344648E−8

F = -(8.99 * 10^9) * (49.5 * 10^-9) * [ (-12 * 10^-9) /(-1.770 - -1.705)² + (36.5 * 10^-9)/(-1.170)²]

F = -445.005( −0.000002813572941777538)

F = 0.00000679136118994008324

F = 6.79E6 N

Describe the electrical and chemical changes that lead to an action potential. Define myelin and discuss its effects.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The outside of a neuron has more sodium ions while at resting state. When a electrical signal is going to pass through, the sodium channels open up first and the positive sodium ions rush inward making the inner side more positive. This is called action potential.

There is layer of fatty substances called as Myelin Sheath over the course of axons. It helps the electrical signal to be transmitted with a fast pace and efficiently over the course.

What potential difference is required to cause 4.00 a to flow through a resistance of 330 ω?

Alisiya [41]

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states that an Ohmic conductor the following relationship holds:
$\Delta V = I R$
where
$\Delta V$ is the potential difference applied to the resistor
I is the current flowing through it
R is the resistance

In our problem, I=4.00 A and $R=330 \omega$ , so the potential difference is
$\Delta V = IR=(4.00 A)(330 \omega)=1320 V$
