You will begin with a relatively standard calculation.Consider a concave spherical mirror with a radius of curvature equal to 60

.0 centimeters. An object 6.00 centimeters tall is placed along the axis of the mirror, 45.0 centimeters from the mirror. You are to find the location and height of the image.a) What is the focal length Image for this mirror?b) Now use the spherical mirror equation to find the imagedistance s'.c) Find the magnification m,using sand s'.d) Finally, use the magnification to find the height of theimage y'.e) Solve the spherical mirror equation for s'.f)What is the magnification m? Use your answer from Part E

a) 30.0 cm

For any mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length:

r = 2f

where

r is the radius of curvature

f is the focal length

For the mirror in this problem, we have

r = 60.0 cm is the radius of curvature

Therefore, solving the equation above for f, we find its focal length:

f=\frac{r}{2}=\frac{60.0 cm}{2}=30.0 cm

b) 90 cm

The mirror equation is:

\frac{1}{s'}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{s}

where

s' is the distance of the image from the mirror

f is the focal length

s is the distance of the object from the mirror

For the situation in the problem, we have

f = +30.0 cm is the focal length (positive for a concave mirror)

s = 45.0 cm is the object distance from the mirror

Solving the formula for s', we find

\frac{1}{s'}=\frac{1}{30.0 cm}-\frac{1}{45.0 cm}=0.011 cm^{-1}

s'=\frac{1}{0.011 cm^{-1}}=90 cm

c) -2

The magnification of the mirror is given by

M=-\frac{s'}{s}

where in this problem we have

s' = 90 cm is the image distance

s = 45.0 cm is the object distance

Solving the equation, we find:

M=-\frac{90 cm}{45 cm}=-2

So, the magnification is -2.

d) -12.0 cm

The magnification can also be rewritten as

M=\frac{y'}{y}

where

y' is the height of the image

y is the heigth of the object

In this problem, we know

y = 6.0 cm is the height of the object

M = -2 is the magnification

Solving the equation for y', we find

y'=My=(-2)(6.0 cm)=-12.0 cm

and the negative sign means that the image is inverted.

Part e and f are exactly identical as part b) and c).

A small block of mass m1 = 0.4 kg is placed on a long slab of mass m2 = 2.8 kg. Initially, the slab is stationary and the block
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

v₁ = 0.375 m / s ,   x = 0.335 m

Explanation:

Let's analyze this interesting exercise, the block moves and has a friction force with the tile, we assume that the speed of the block is constant, so the friction force opposes the block movement. For the only force that acts (action and reaction) this friction force exerted by the block that is in the direction of movement of the tile.

We can also see that the isolated system formed by the block and the tile will reach a stable speed where friction cannot give the system more energy, this speed can be found by treating the system with the conservation of linear momentum.

initial moment. Right at the start of the movement

       p₀ = m v₀ + 0

final moment. Just when it comes to equilibrium

      p_{f} = (m + M) v₁

how the forces are internal

       p₀ =p_{f}

       m v₀ = (m + M) v₁

       v₁ = m /m+M    v₀

let's calculate

       v₁ = 0.4 /(0.4 + 2.8)  3

       v₁ = 0.375 m / s

 

Let's apply Newton's second law to the Block, to find the friction force

Y axis

       N - W = 0

       N = W

       N = m g

where m is the mass of the block

the friction force has the formula

      fr = μ N

      fr = μ m g

We apply Newton's second law to slab    

X axis

       fr = M a

where M is the mass of the slab

       μ m g = M a

       a = μ g m / M

let's calculate

       a = 0.15  9.8  0.4 / 2.8

       a = 0.21 m / s²

With kinematics we can find the position

       v²= v₀²+2 a x

as the slab is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero

       v² = 2 a x

       x = v2 / 2a

let's calculate

        x = 0.375²/2 0.21

        x = 0.335 m

If Karen rode her bicycle 5 km to school in 30 minutes, what was her average speed? Give your answers in km/h.
Doss [256]

Answer:

10 km/h

Explanation:

Before calculating the average speed, we need to convert the time taken for the trip from minutes to hours. Since 1 hour cointains 60 minutes, we have:

1 h: 60 min = t : 30 min\\t=\frac{1 h \cdot 30 min}{60 min}=0.5 h

Karen's average speed is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 5 km is the distance covered

t = 0.5 h is the time taken for the trip

Substituting into the equation, we find

v=\frac{5 km}{0.5 h}=10 km/h
