(a) -17 cm

Magnification equation:

$\frac{h_i}{h_o}=-\frac{q}{p}$

where

$h_i$ is the size of the image

$h_o$ is the size of the object

$q$ is the distance of the image from the mirror

$p$ is the distance of the object from the mirror

In this problem, we have:

p = 51 cm (the object is 51 cm in front of the mirror)

$\frac{h_i}{h_o}=\frac{1}{3}$

So, we can find q, the image distance:

$q=-\frac{h_i}{h_o}p=-\frac{1}{3}(51 cm)=-17 cm$

and the negative sign means the image is virtual.

(b) -25.5 cm

Mirror equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$

where

p = 51 cm

q = -17 cm

Substituting and re-arranging the equation, we find the focal length of the mirror:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{51 cm}-\frac{1}{17 cm}=-\frac{2}{51 cm}\\f=-\frac{51 cm}{2}=-25.5 cm$

and the negative sign is due to the fact it is a convex mirror.

diamong [38]

C) accretionary-wedge complex.

Explanation:

The accretionary wedge complex is a thick accumulation of sediments and small tectonic blocks formed from materials scraped off subducting oceanic lithosphere at a convergent margin.

Space between the subducting plate and the less dense plate gets filled by sediments scraped off the subducting plate and this forms a wedge like sediment called the accretionary wedge.

The accretionary wedge is invariably made up of materials found on the ocean floor.
Under extreme conditions, some parts of wedge transforms into metamorphic rocks.
The wedge is made up of: pelagic sediments, ocean floor basalts e.t.c

Recall from Chapter 1 that a watt is a unit of en- ergy per unit time, and one watt (W) is equal to one joule per second ( J·s–1

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation $E_p=h f$ , where h is the <em>Planck constant</em> and f the frequency of the photon. Thus, N photons of frequency f will give an energy of $E_N=N h f$ .

We also know that frequency and wavelength are related by $f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ , so we have $E_N=\frac{N h c}{\lambda}$ , where c is the <em>speed of light</em>.

We will want the number of photons, so we can write

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}$

We need to know then how much energy do we have to calculate N. The equation of power is $P=E/t$ , so for the power we have and considering 1 second we can calculate the total energy, and then only consider the 4% of it which will produce light, or better said, the N photons, which means it will be $E_N$ .

Putting this paragraph in equations:

$E_N=(\frac{4}{100})E=0.04Pt=(0.04)(100W)(1s)=4J$ .

And then we can substitute everything in our equation for number of photons, in S.I. and getting the values of constants from tables:

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}=\frac{(520 \times10^{-9}m) (4J)}{(6.626\times10^{-34}Js) (299792458m/s)}=1.047 \times10^{19}$

A man has 887.5 J of kinetic energy while running with a velocity of 5 m/s. What is his mass?

monitta

Answer:

The mass of the man is 71 kg

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the man, K.E = 887.5 J

velocity of the man, v = 5 m/s

The mass of the man is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is the mass of the man

2K.E = mv²

m = 2K.E / v²

m = (2 x 887.5) / (5)²

m = 71 kg

Therefore, the mass of the man is 71 kg

A car is moving in uniform circular motion. If the cars speed were to double to keep the car moving with the same radius the acc

Stells [14]

Answer:

<em>The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4</em>

<em>Correct choice: B.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:

$v_t=w\ r$

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{r}$

If the speed is doubled and the radius is the same, then

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{(2v_t)^2}{r}$

$\displaystyle a_c=4\frac{v_t^2}{r}$

The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4

Correct choice: B.
