Answer:

magnification will be -0.025

Explanation:

We have given the radius of curvature = 12 cm

And object distance = 3 m

So focal length f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm

Now for mirror we know that \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}

So \frac{1}{0.06}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{v}

16.66-0.333=\frac{1}{v}

v = 0.750 m

Now magnification of the mirror is m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{-0.750}{3}=-0.025

The angle between the two force of magnitude 20N and 15N is 60 degrees (20N force being horizontal) determine the resultant in m
BARSIC [14]

A) The resultant force is 30.4 N at 25.3^{\circ}

B) The resultant force is 18.7 N at 43.9^{\circ}

Explanation:

A)

In order to find the resultant of the two forces, we must resolve each force along the x- and y- direction, and then add the components along each direction to find the components of the resultant.

The two forces are:

F_1 = 20 N at 0^{\circ} above x-axis

F_2 = 15 N at 60^{\circ} above y-axis

Resolving each force:

F_{1x}=F_1 cos \theta = (20)(cos 0)=20 N\\F_{1y}=F_1 sin \theta =(20)(sin 0)=0 N

F_{2x}=F_2 cos \theta = (15)(cos 60)=7.5 N\\F_{2y}=F_2 sin \theta =(15)(sin 60)=13.0 N

So, the components of the resultant are:

F_x = F_{1x}+F_{2x}=20+7.5 = 27.5 N\\F_y = F_{1y}+F_{2y}=0+13.0=13.0 N

And the magnitude of the resultant is:

F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=\sqrt{27.5^2+13.0^2}=30.4 N

And the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{F_y}{F_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{13.0}{27.5})=25.3^{\circ}

B)

In this case, the 15 N is applied in the opposite direction to the 20 N force. Therefore we need to re-calculate its components, keeping in mind that the angle of the 15 N force this time is

\theta=180^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=120^{\circ}

So we have:

F_{2x}=F_2 cos \theta = (15)(cos 120)=-7.5 N\\F_{2y}=F_2 sin \theta =(15)(sin 120)=13.0 N

So, the components of the resultant this time are:

F_x = F_{1x}+F_{2x}=20-7.5 = 12.5 N\\F_y = F_{1y}+F_{2y}=0+13.0=13.0 N

And the magnitude is:

F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=\sqrt{13.5^2+13.0^2}=18.7 N

And the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{F_y}{F_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{13.0}{13.5})=43.9^{\circ}

Describe how a shovel makes moving dirt easier. Use the words “resistant force,” “effort force,” and “distance.” Tell what kind
timurjin [86]

A simple machine is a device for doing work that has only one part. Simple machines redirect or change the size of forces, allowing people to do work with less muscle effort and greater speed, thus making their work easier. There are six kinds of simple machines: the lever, the pulley, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screw.

Why does the skateboarder continue to move forward when he hits the
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

According to Newton's first law:  An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

There is a force that moves the skater and his skate forward, after the hit, his speed is reduced, but this force is not completely counteracted, and that's why he continues moving forward.
