Answer:

The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object to Image distance d = 140 cm

Image distance v= 35 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

$u = d-v$

$u = 140-35=105\ cm$

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-105}+\dfrac{1}{35}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{2}{105}$

$f=52.5\ cm$

Hence, The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

Explain the interaction between centripetal force and inertia and what kind of motion this interaction causes.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Inertia is an object's tendency to keep moving in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force. Centripetal force causes an object to constantly change direction, so the combination of centripetal force and inertia causes an object to move in a circle. Hope it helps and your cute by the way

If the primary of a transformer were connected to a dc power source,

QveST [7]

Answer:

D. only briefly while being connected or disconnected.

Explanation:

As we know that transformer works on the principle of mutual inductance

here we know that as per the principle of mutual inductance when flux linked with the primary coil charges then it will induce EMF in secondary coil

So here when AC source is connected with primary coil then it will give output across secondary coil because AC source will have change in flux with time.

Now when we connect DC source across primary coil then it will not induce any EMF across secondary coil because DC source is a constant voltage source in which flux will remain constant always

So here in DC source the EMF will only induce at the time of connection or disconnection when flux will change in it while rest of the time it will give ZERO output

so correct answer will be

D. only briefly while being connected or disconnected.

Suppose you want to determine the resistance of a resistor that is nominally 100 . You should be able to apply 10 V across the r

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

a) For y = 102 mA, R = 98.039 ohms

For y = 97 mA, R = 103.09 ohms

b) Check explanatios for b

Explanation:

Applied voltage, V = 10 V

For the first measurement, current $y_{1} = 102 mA = 0.102 A$

According to ohm's law, V = IR

R = V/I

Here, $I = y_{1}$

$R = \frac{V}{y_{1} } \\R = \frac{10}{0.102} \\R = 98.039 ohms$

For the second measurement, current $y_{2} = 97 mA = 0.097 A$

$R = \frac{V}{y_{2} }$

$R = \frac{10}{0.097} \\R = 103 .09 ohms$

b) $y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} &y_{2} \end{array}\right] ^{T}$

$y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} \\y_{2} \end{array}\right]$

$y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3} \end{array}\right]$

A linear equation is of the form y = Gx

The nominal value of the resistance = 100 ohms

$x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3} \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2} \end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2} \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-5} \\97*10^{-5} \end{array}\right]$
