A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th

fiasKO [112]

Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$
where f is the focal length of the mirror, $d_o$ the distance of the object from the mirror, and $d_i$ the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for $d_i$ by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
$\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$
$\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}$
$d_i = -8.6 cm$
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150

Sever21 [200]

Answer: $2.89\approx 2.9^{\circ}C/s$

Explanation:

Given

$Power\left ( P\right )=150 MW$

mass of core $\left ( m\right )=1.60\times 10^5 kg$

Average specific heat $\left ( C\right )=0.3349 KJ/kg^{\circ}C$

And rate of increase of temperature = $\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Now

P= $mc\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$150\times 10^6=1.60\times 10^5\times 0.3349\times \frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Thus $\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}=[tex]\frac{1.60\times 10^5\times 0.3349}{150\times 10^6}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}=2.89\approx 2.9^{\circ}C/s$

A uniform log of length L is inclined 30° from the horizontal when supported by a frictionless rock located 0.6L from its left e

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x = 0.974 L

Explanation:

given,

length of inclination of log = 30°

mass of log = 200 Kg

rock is located at = 0.6 L

L is the length of the log

mass of engineer = 53.5 Kg

let x be the distance from left at which log is horizontal.

For log to be horizontal system should be in equilibrium

∑ M = 0

mass of the log will be concentrated at the center

distance of rock from CM of log = 0.1 L

now,

∑ M = 0

$m_{log} g \times 0.1 L = m_{engineer} g \times (x - 0.6 L)$

$200 \times 0.1 L = 53.5 \times (x - 0.6 L)$

$0.374 L =x - 0.6 L$

x = 0.974 L

hence, distance of the engineer from the left side is equal to x = 0.974 L

How much must a woman weigh ( force) if the pressure she exerts while standing on one foot has an area of 0.6m squared exerts a

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

W = 9.6 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Area on 1 foot, A = 0.6 m²

Pressure, P = 16 Pa

The pressure is given by force acting per unit area. So,

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{W}{A}\\\\W=16\times 0.6\\\\W=9.6\ N$

So, the required weight is 9.6 N.
