1) Focal length

We can find the focal length of the mirror by using the mirror equation:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i} (1)
where 
f is the focal length
d_o is the distance of the object from the mirror
d_i is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this case, d_o = 18 cm, while d_i=-4 cm (the distance of the image should be taken as negative, because the image is to the right (behind) of the mirror, so it is virtual). If we use these data inside (1), we find the focal length of the mirror:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{18 cm}- \frac{1}{4 cm}=- \frac{7}{36 cm}
from which we find
f=- \frac{36}{7} cm=-5.1 cm

2) The mirror is convex: in fact, for the sign convention, a concave mirror has positive focal length while a convex mirror has negative focal length. In this case, the focal length is negative, so the mirror is convex.

3) The image is virtual, because it is behind the mirror and in fact we have taken its distance from the mirror as negative.

4) The radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length, so for the mirror in our problem the radius of curvature is:
r=2f=2 \cdot 5.1 cm=10.2 cm

Karolina [17]

Answer:

a)  T² = (\frac{4\pi ^2}{GM})  r³

b) veloicity the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance

kinetic energy  depends on the inverse of the distance

potential energy dependency is the inverse of distance

angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance

Explanation:

1) for this exercise we will use Newton's second law

            F = ma

in this case the acceleration is centripetal

            a = v² / r

the linear and angular variable are related

           v = w r

we substitute

           a = w² r

force is the universal force of attraction

           F = G \frac{m M}{r^2}

we substitute

         G \frac{m M}{r^2} = m w^2 r

         w² = \frac{GM}{r^3}

angular velocity is related to frequency and period

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

we substitute

            ( \frac{2\pi }{T} ) = \frac{GM}{r^3}

the final equation is

             T² = ()  r³

b) the speed of the orbit can be found

           v = w r

            v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r^3} } \ r

            v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

in this case the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance

Kinetic energy

           K = ½ M v²

           K = ½ M GM / r

           K = ½ GM² 1 / r

the kinetic energy depends on the inverse of the distance

Potential energy

          U =

          U = -G mM / r

dependency is the inverse of distance

Angular momentum

          L = r x p

for a circular orbit

           L = r p = r Mv

           L =

         L =

The angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance

A flat sheet of paper of area 0.250 m2 is oriented so that the normal to the sheet is at an angle of 60 to a uniform electric fi
Harman [31]

Answer:

a. 1.75 Nm²/C

b. Yes.

Explanation:

a. Electric Flux is given as:

Φ = E*A*cosθ

Where E = electric flux

A = Surface area

Φ = 14 * 0.25 * cos60

Φ = 1.75 Nm²/C

b. Yes, the shape of the sheet will affect the Flux through it. This is because flux is dependent on area of the surface and the area is dependent on the shape of the surface.
