A plane mirror of circular shape with radius r=20cm is fixed to the ceiling. A bulb is to be placed on the axis of the mirror. A
KIM [24]

Answer:

0.75 m

Explanation:

Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.

The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle.  The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid.  If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle.  This triangle and the small triangle are similar.  So we can say:

x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2

Solving for x:

2x = 0.4 (3 + x)

2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x

1.6 x = 1.2

x = 0.75

So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.

Who water rocket starts from rest and roses straight up with an acceleration of 5 m/s until it runs out of water 2.5 seconds lat
Kitty [74]

Answer:

23. 4375 m

Explanation:

There are two parts of the rocket's motion

1 ) accelerating  (assume it goes upto  h1 height )

using motion equations upwards

s = ut+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} \\h_1=0+\frac{1}{2}*5*2.5^{2} \\=15.625 m

Lets find the velocity after 2.5 seconds (V1)

V = U +at

V1 = 0 +5*2.5 = 12.5 m/s  

2) motion under gravity (assume it goes upto  h2 height )

now there no acceleration from the rocket. it is now subjected to the gravity

using motion equations upwards (assuming g= 10m/s² downwards)

V²= U² +2as

0 = 12.5²+2*(-10)*h2

h2 = 7.8125 m

maximum height = h1 + h2

                            = 15.625 + 7.8125

                            = 23. 4375 m

Two wires A and B with circular cross-section are made of the same metal and have equal lengths, but the resistance of wire A is
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = Resistance of wire

ρ = resistivity of the material of wire

L = Length of wire

A = Cross-sectional area of wire = πr²

r = radius of wire

Therefore,

R = ρL/πr²

<u>FOR WIRE A</u>:

R₁ = ρ₁L₁/πr₁²   -------- equation 1

<u>FOR WIRE B</u>:

R₂ = ρ₂L₂/πr₂²   -------- equation 2

It is given that resistance of wire A is four times greater than the resistance of wire B.

R₁ = 4 R₂

using values from equation 1 and equation 2:

ρ₁L₁/πr₁² = 4ρ₂L₂/πr₂²

since, the material and length of both wires are same.

ρ₁ = ρ₂ = ρ

L₁ = L₂ = L

Therefore,

ρL/πr₁² = 4ρL/πr₂²

1/r₁² = 4/r₂²

r₁²/r₂² = 1/4

taking square root on both sides:

<u>r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5</u>

A truck with a heavy load has a total mass of 7100 kg. It is climbing a 15∘ incline at a steady 15 m/s when, unfortunately, the
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

Explanation:

Step 1 : Data given

Mass of the truck = 7100 kg

Angle = 15°

velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Mass of truck = m1 kg

Mass of load = m2 kg

Thrust from engine = T

Step 2:

⇒ Before the load falls off, thrust (T) balances the component of total weight downhill:

T = (m1+m2)*g*sinθ

⇒ After the load falls off, thrust (T) remains the same but downhill component of weight becomes  m1*gsinθ .

Resultant force on truck is F = T – m1*gsinθ  

F causes the acceleration of the truck: F= m*a

This gives the equation:

T – m1*gsinθ = m1*a  

T = m1(a + gsinθ)

Combining both equations gives:

(m1+m2)*g*sinθ = m1*(a + gsinθ)

m1*g*sinθ + m2*g*sinθ =m1*a + m1*g*sinθ

m2*g*sinθ = m1*a

Since m1+m2 = 7100kg, m1= 7100 – m2. This we can plug into the previous equation:

m2*g*sinθ = (7100 – m2)*a

m2*g*sinθ = 7100a – m2a

m2*gsinθ + m2*a = 7100a

m2* (gsinθ + a) = 7100a

m2 = 7100a/(gsinθ  + a)

m2 = (7100 * 1.5) / (9.8sin(15°) + 1.5)

m2 = 2636.8 kg

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg
