Answer:

a) After 26.67 seconds it returns back to the origin

b) Velocity when it returns to the origin = 60 m/s in the -x direction

Explanation:

a) Let the starting position be origin and time be t.

  After time t displacement, s = 0 m

  Initial velocity, u = 60 m/s

  Acceleration, a = -4.5 m/s²

 We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

 Substituting

        s = ut + 0.5 at²

        0 = 60 x t + 0.5 x (-4.5) x t²        

        2.25t² - 60 t = 0

        t² - 26.67 t = 0

        t (t-26.67) = 0

      t = 0s or t = 26.67 s

So after 26.67 seconds it returns back to the origin

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

  Initial velocity, u = 60 m/s

  Acceleration, a = -4.5 m/s²

  Time , t = 26.67

 Substituting

        v = 60 - 4.5 x 26.67 = -60 m/s

Velocity when it returns to the origin = 60 m/s in the -x direction

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.
