What is the focal length of the mirror? follow the sign conventions?

Physics
1 answer:
Ipatiy [6.2K]3 years ago
4 0
Well, the focal length is a distance to the point in which all of the rays of a parallel beam cross. Since a parallel beam reflected by the mirror is still parallel and does not converge, no matter how far from the mirror it travels, the focal distance of a mirror is

f = -∞

minus sign denotes that the image in the mirror is imaginary

A light ray travels in the +x direction and strikes a slanted surface with an angle of 62° between its normal and the ty axis. T
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

- 0.6

Explanation:

Given that angle between normal y axis is 62° so angle between  normal

and x axis will be 90- 62 = 28 °. Since incident ray is along x axis , 28 ° will be the angle between incident ray and normal ie it will be angle of incidence

Angle of incidence = 28 °

angle of reflection = 28°

Angle between incident ray and reflected ray = 28 + 28 = 56 °

Angle between x axis and reflected ray = 56 °

x component of reflected ray

= - cos 56 ( it will be towards - ve x axis. )

Explain why a 10 kg stone and 1 kg stone dropped from the same height
11111nata11111 [884]
The acceleration of a body in a gravitational field is independent of its mass. Both the stones will fall with the same acceleration through the same height and hence they will strike the ground simultaneously.

Compare and contrast the strength of the forces between two objects with a mass of 1 kg each, a charge of 10
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Let's see the similarities between the two forces

* are proportional to the product of a magnitude, mass or charge

* They are inversely proportional to the square of the distance

* They are long-range forces since zero is not made up to an infinite distance. The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

The differences in them

* The electric force in much greater than the gravitational force

* The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating each force.

Gravitational force

             F =G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}  

let's calculate

             F = 6.67 10⁻¹¹  1  1 / 1²

             F = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N

Electric force

             F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}  

indicates that the charge is q = 10 C

            F = 9 10⁹ 10 10 / 1²

            F = 9 10¹¹ N

Let's see the similarities between the two forces

* are proportional to the product of a magnitude, mass or charge

* They are inversely proportional to the square of the distance

* They are long-range forces since zero is not made up to an infinite distance. The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

The differences in them

* The electric force in much greater than the gravitational force

* The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

A 7.00-cm-long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wi
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

(a) 1.075 N

(b) 4.254 T

Explanation:

(a)

From the question,

Power = Force×Velocity.

P = Fv................... Equation 1

Where P = Power dissipated in the circuit, F = Pulling force of the wire, v = speed of the wire.

make F the subject of the equation

F = P/v................. Equation 2

Given: P = 4.30 W, v = 4.0 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

F = 4.30/4

F = 1.075 N.

(b)

Applying,

F = BILsinФ.............. Equation 2

Where B = Strength of the magnetic field, I = current in the wire, L = Length of the wire, Ф = angle between the wire and the magnetic field.

make B the subject of the equation

B = F/ILsinФ................... Equation 3

But,

P = I²R...................... Equation 4

Where R = resistance of the wire.

make I the subject of the equation

I = √(P/R)............... Equation 5

Given: P = 4.30 W, R = 0.330 Ω

Substitute into equation 5

I = √(4.3/0.33)

I = √13.03

I = 3.61 A.

Also given: L = 7 cm = 0.07 m, Ф = 90°

Substitute into equation 3

B = 1.075/(0.07×3.61×sin90)

B = 1.075/0.2527

B = 4.254 T.
